How to: Get a new skirt, from an old shirt!

Here's how to wear a shirt as a skirt! Oversized/your dad's will probably work best!

1. Wrap the shirt around your hips and button up the buttons from the bottom 'til about halfway.
2. Pull the shirt up (mine is usually to my ribs) 'til the skirt is the length you want it then button up as many buttons as you can, you probably won't button all of them up but that doesn't matter.
3. Take the shirt sleeve cuffs, one in each hand, and tie it around your waist as many times as you want so the skirt will stay up.

I usually wear this with tights made into long socks (to learn how to make them check this out: http://crazyandslightlyobsessed.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-recycle-old-tightscreate-long.html) and a hoodie! A very versatile look, wear with heels and accessories for a dressed-up look or flats for a casual look!

How to: Recycle old tights/Create long socks from tights!

So, you've got some tights but they've got a huge noticeable hole(s) in them, what do you do? Make socks outa them :) you can do this without holes in your tights first but it's kinda a waste of a pair of tights! :D
So, here's what you gotta do:

1. Grab a pair of scissors and wear your tights (you can take them off but I find it easier to know how long my socks will be if I'm wearing my tights).
2. Wherever the hole(s) is just start cutting across, I usually do this just above my knee. If you have no holes just cut into the tights. Try and make it straight-ish but it doesn't matter if it's a bit rough, that won't be showing.
3. If you want paint clear nail varnish across the top of the cut socks/tights to keep them from ladder-ing (that's not a word is it?) and then roll the tops down just a little I usually roll them down to just below my knees.
4. Et voila! :D

The Many Ways to Wear Your Dad's Shirt :)

I stole my dad's shirt a while ago and am loving wearing it as many ways as I can!

1. Wear it as a dress - wear black leggings and a vest top/strappy top Put on the oversized shirt and button it up, leaving the top few undone so you can see just the top of your vest top. Roll the sleeves up to your elbows and put a waist belt around your waist - or you could buckle a normal belt around your hips. I like wearing this with converse!
2. Wear a top and jeans and put the shirt on - unbuttoned completely - to just drape by your sides. Roll the sleeves up to your elbows.
3. Repeat as above, but hold the ends of both sides of the shirt and tie it in a knot at your front. It should be tied like in this image:
4. Just wear it buttoned up and loose over some trousers or something :)

How to: Go Out In PUBLIC Wearing NO Makeup!

Here's how to have the confidence to go out without makeup!
Bring attention to some other part of you!
If everyone's looking at, say your hair, then what does it matter if you're wearing makeup or not? You could also wear bright, attention-seeking clothes, but I prefer to pay more attention to my hair.
To get people to look at your hair make it big and bouncy! Straight hair doesn't usually have the same effect. What you really need is lots of volume. If you have naturally straight or limp hair don't worry! You can make it big and bouncy without heat and with nothing but a couple of hair bobbles!
I like to make my hair gorgeously wavy using the technique in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH12exAL1Dg&feature=channel

In the morning when I take the bobbles out I just put Bed Head After Party smoothing cream through my hair to smooth out any kinks (optional step) and hairspray it to keep it wavy all day but you don't have to do this. My hair just doesn't keep very big waves in for long! :)

Go out with hair like this and everyone will think you're gorgeous! But if you're still unsure then read on!
First you've got to figure out what you're biggest makeup addiction is. My would probably be concealer to cover up the bags under my eyes. So if you have the same problem get rid of those bags! Use chilled teabags or chilled cucumber slices over your eyes for 20 mins or so a day, and use eye moisturiser!
If you're addicted to mascara then try just curling your lashes! Addicted to blusher? Pinch/gently slap your cheeks or do 5 mins dancing to get rosy cheeks! Bronzer? Sunbathe!! (But use suncream!) Concealer for spots? Go on my product reviews or home remedies for spots and get rid of them! Lipgloss/lipstick? Just use lipbalm (tinted if you want) or lipsalve!
