Fashion changes from season to season, but buying new clothes accordingly may not be realistic. Jessica Smit, the blogger behind www.foxesandfood.com, shares some ways to revamp your wardrobe without spending too much.

Get old clothes fixed: Have a stitch out of place in your favourite pair of jeans? Broke a heel? Just get it fixed by a local tailor or cobbler, respectively. Not only will it be returned good as new, it'll save you money in the long run. There are also loads of places like across Dubai like Champion Cleaners that has a 'bag and shoe spa' service to fix designer accessories.
 
Upcycle: If you think a product cannot be salvaged, or has just gone out of style, upcycle it by turning it into something completely new.
