With this latest arctic cold front moving in, many of you are doubtlessly starting to feel the early symptoms of cabin fever setting in - after all, there's only so much TV a girl can watch without losing her mind, much though we love us some What Not To Wear.

When I'm trapped indoors I tend to contemplate the glories of my closet. It's amazing how quickly we can amass clothing, and even more amazing how quickly those items we once cherished now seem passe. 

I used to simply give away or even worse, toss away all of my old pieces of clothing, but now that it's recession time baby, and I'm broker than MC Hammer (oh yes, I went there) I've turned into quite the DIY'er. 

I found this great tip of Treehugger, they're aiming to keep folks from adding to the landfills, and while I appreciate reducing my carbon footprint and all, I definitely also cherish a new-from-old piece of clothing.

Tres adorable, right? What's great about this is, it's gender neutral - it works for everyone! I plan on doing this for the better part of the afternoon - American Apparel, eat your heart out!
