For #NoSpendSeptember, we decided to give our closets a makeover without spending a dime, so we turned to Tiktok (our new favorite playground), for style tips and fashion hacks to see if we could find anything that could bring our same-old/same-old into a new find.
We culled all of the most popular fashion girls and picked out their best tricks for updating their looks, all by using what they already have in their wardrobe (and perhaps a rubber band or two). From fashion tips to style hacks, surely you have something in your closet that could use an upgrade and make you feel like a brand new woman.
So go ahead and give it a try. Rock a new style with your favorite tee, and get that shopping feel from the convenience of your own home without any buyer’s remorse!
Karen Wazen
3 Simple Fashion Hacks
It’s no secret; we love Karen Wazen. We love her family, her sunglasses, her dances with her kids, and we love her style. She has a lot of videos, but we like this one where she gives three simple fashion hacks for a t-shirt, oversized belt, and an oversized blazer. Pretty sure that belt and blazer must have been her husband’s at one point, but clearly she can make anything work for her. He probably won’t even get it back, that’s how great it looks on her. But the point is, if you need a break from your clothes, raid someone else’s closet and make it work for you.

Tamu McPherson
One top. Six Looks.
You cannot help but smile when you see Tamu McPherson‘s TikTok videos. She’s an Instagram star, so she only has a few videos on TikTok, but they are gold. Like in this video where she styles her favorite top of the season (we love the puffy sleeves) and dances her way to fashion heaven simply by changing up the bottoms and shoes to create six dynamic and different looks.

Chriselle Lim
How to Dress Up Your Lazy Sweatshirt
Chriselle Lim was already a well-known fashion stylist on Youtube and her blog, The Chriselle Factor, but TikTok propelled her into full influencer stardom with her hilarious persona of ‘Rich Mom,’ a shameless and fun persona who offers up fashion and beauty tips and tricks as well as female empowerment. She frequently features ‘Rich Dad’ (her husband) and her incredibly cute kids, and allows them to style her as well.
In this genius video, she takes a lazy sweatshirt and makes it look glamorous in five super simple steps, all the while reminding us ‘kiddos’ that she never wants to see us looking sloppy again. Sending over our adoption papers now.
@chrisellelimHey kids, Take your lazy casual sweatshirt and look expensive af! What else do you guys want me to film? Love ya ##yourrichmom ##fashion ##style♬ original sound – chrisellelim

Brazilian bombshell Camila Coelho offers her followers all of the tricks from fashion, to beauty, to food, and working out. But her ‘Three Ways to Tie a T-Shirt’ has gotten reposted so many times, it’s no wonder we are seeing tied t-shirt styles ‘cropping’ up (pun intended) everywhere we look.

Camila Coelho
1 Summer Top 3 Ways
Yes, yes, yes, we already saw Coelho do the cool t-shirt trick, but these three styles with one top were too good to resist. We had to share. Not only is it the perfect top that checks all of our boxes in terms of fashion, style, and fun, but she changes the look up so completely. We can all learn a fashion thing or two.
