Have you purchased something impulsively? Say, a second-hand ball gown, repurposed sequin pants, your old prom dress/suit, or maybe your favorite Halloween costume from 2015…the options are endless! Don’t buy something new, dig through your closet, or swap pieces with your friend to create the perfect ‘fit.
