Cal li’s C ost Savers
Total Look: $29.95
We asked Fashion Intern Calli Green to come up with some cost- saving alternatives to the more costly items in this issue’s shoot. Here’s what she found! Accessorizing the perfect outfit can sometimes leave you over budget. If you're not able to splurge on a great real turquoise piece, why not make one instead? Choose a piece out of your jewelry box that you may not really wear, or a cheap one from a secondhand store. Just make sure you won’t regret painting it. Then, don't get hung up on match- ing an exact spray paint lid to a turquoise paint swatch. Turquoise naturally comes in all different shades, and it will take on the perfect appearance when the outfit is complete. It's optional to grab a primer white and finishing spray, depending on how vibrant and shiny you'd like your finished piece.
