Fashion and Beauty Tips From a Vintage Closet
Old busboy jacket can become a stylish look with slacks. If nails show more polish than nails, remove excess polish. A half finished manicure is not helpful. Repurpose unused jump ropes into wooden bauble belting by shortening as needed. Jeans with rolled hems work if the hems stay in place with simple basting.
