Repurposing old clothes is a clever way to get a new look without spending loads of dough. That said, if you've grown tired of the high neck on your trusty turtleneck, don't throw it out. Instead, transform it into a nifty mock turtleneck -- a top with a fitted neck that isn't tall enough to fold over. This once-ignored top has a new air of geek-coolness thanks to late Apple Founder Steve Job's penchant for wearing them. Snagging this look won't break the bank, and as a bonus, you don't even need major sewing skills to complete the task.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/convert-round-neck-v-neck-front-back/ Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:39:04 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/convert-round-neck-v-neck-front-back/
Round necklines are not the most flattering collars for women's shirts, but you can change yours to a feminine V-neck in front and back. It requires only basic sewing skills and patience to modify a shirt you like into a shirt you'll love. If this is your first time, start with a top that isn't your prized possession, though -- it might take a couple tries to perfect your technique. Iron your shirt flat, lay out your tools and get sewing!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/turtleneck-vs-mock-turtleneck/ Mon, 19 Dec 2011 10:53:52 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/turtleneck-vs-mock-turtleneck/
When it comes to choosing the right neckline, a gal definitely has options. Two styles that look similar but definitely aren't the same are the turtleneck and the mock turtleneck. One sports a simple band around the neck, while the other flaunts a high collar that folds over. When worn the right way, either of these necklines can look oh-so-fashionable. But when paired with the wrong item, they can leave you feeling more geek than chic.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-wear-turtleneck-under-tank-top-dress/ Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:44:51 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-wear-turtleneck-under-tank-top-dress/
Once the weather turn cold, you might cast mournful glances at your go-to summer dress wishing you could wear it again. Guess what? You totally can.
