If you know your Type, or you are experimenting, one of the first things you're going to start doing is evaluating the clothes in your closet and seeing what works, what needs to be put in storage (don't throw it out right away!), what you need to buy, and what could be modified!
This post is about how to modify your wardrobe, so you can get the most out of what you already have.
Here's another link on how to UPCYCLE your clothes.
Mostly how to change color, but also design lines, etc.

My problem is: finding shoes that are type 4 for bad feet...LOL
-deciding what to do with jewelry: I have some black pieces but they are not "high shine". I have some jewelry that is silver(but not high shine) I bought this stuff when I wanted to be a type 2. But actually am a type 4-1.
Thanks for this series. Love your site.
I also want to improve the look of this blog post. Maybe turn it into pages :)
