Problem: no money, no clothes, rainy days.
Solution: T-shirt surgery.
T-shirt surgery has been around for a while. It's pretty easy, and most people with half a sewing machine can salvage an old shirt and turn it into something unique and totally D-I-Y made by yourself - in fact this is how many urban fashion labels start - as a sort of underground pastiche of what is strange and influential at the moment.
There's heaps of great websites to help you ressurect those lost worlds in your wardrobe:
Oh-my-stars - heaps of tutorials on things like halter tops, wrap tops and printed shirts
t-shirt surgery on LJ - T-shirt surgery community where people post what they've made
Life Lab - Turn a t-shirt into a hoodie (It actually looks really good...no really)
Generation T - they have a few free tutorials and also a book if you're interested
There's more than just T-shirts out there as well, a brief search turns up heaps of DIY solutions to high-end designer wear that costs more than it's worth - a pair of scissors will get you these Rodarte leggings at Park and Cube:
