Sort your clothes into four boxes: recycle; give away; rescue and restyle. Recycle - not good enough to wear use it for a duster.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2008/06/18/want-to-give-your-wardrobe-a-revamp-and-do-your-bit-for-the-environment-at-the-same-time-84229-21090715/"><P>Give away - to charity or friends things that don’t fit you anymore, you don’t like, not the right style or just don’t suit you.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2008/06/18/want-to-give-your-wardrobe-a-revamp-and-do-your-bit-for-the-environment-at-the-same-time-84229-21090715/"><P>Rescue – things that need mending, buttons, hems, cuffs.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2008/06/18/want-to-give-your-wardrobe-a-revamp-and-do-your-bit-for-the-environment-at-the-same-time-84229-21090715/"><P>3. Restyle – this should be the biggest box. Experiment with different ways of wearing something. For example, a skirt could be worn as a dress or a jumper could be turned around and worn with the V at the back.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2008/06/18/want-to-give-your-wardrobe-a-revamp-and-do-your-bit-for-the-environment-at-the-same-time-84229-21090715/"><P>4. Rather than buy lots of throw away fashion choose a few good quality items and wear them with accessories in different ways.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/lifestyle/fashion-and-beauty/2008/06/18/want-to-give-your-wardrobe-a-revamp-and-do-your-bit-for-the-environment-at-the-same-time-84229-21090715/"><P>5.
