{Restyle} Adding your personality to basics

Recently, on an entirely unethical, but affordable, shopping trip to Kmart I stocked up on much needed winter trackies and sweaters for the boys. They were plain and begging to be changed up, and although restyling is nothing new to me, I've never restyled a NEW item of clothing before. Perhaps I have a problem.... (see the way I used 'perhaps' as if it's open to question? heh)
Here are a few of the changes I made (just imagine the grey pants down there are black):

Whether it's something as simple as adding some elbow patches or as dramatic as changing the sleeve colour, I think restyling basics is a cool way to personalise your kids' clothes without making them from scratch. Also, I kind of like knowing that no one else in the world will be wearing the same clothes as these kiddos. Seriously, cute.
