How To Give New Life To Tops That Are Too Short

You can add a top extender underneath it to make it longer!  Age doesn’t matter.  There are different kinds of top extenders, or what may be considered tunic-length tops with a hem made of lace, ruffles or chiffon.

Previously, I wrote about skirt extenders.  They are used to lengthen tunics or dresses that are too short for you.  You can read about those in my post, “What in the World is a Skirt Extender?” HERE.

A top extender or tank extender can be worn with a kimono, vest or any top over it.  Then you can add skinny or straight-leg jeans, pants, leggings, jeggings or a slim skirt.

Why don’t you choose a top extender and look through your closet for all of the tops you could possibly pair it with?  Use my ideas below, or make your own list of outfit ideas for the weeks ahead!
