Get a daily dose of fashionable advice with this money-saver: The key to looking Hollywood fabulous is learning to use your resources.

Let's say you dropped an obnoxious amount of paper on the hottest pair of jeans, which is understandable because hey, let's face it, good fitting denim doesn't come cheap. Or maybe you thrift, and you're super good at it. Whatever; point is, you have jeans, maybe a favorite pair of jeans, but they are not indestructible.

Sometimes a little rip and tear is cool. A little fray around the pocket or a hole in the knee is hot, while a big booty gap is not.

The first rule of frugal fashion: never throw a perfectly good pair of pants away.

Instead, go to DenimTherapy.com and fill out the "repair now" form.

Once registered, the jean fairies email your account info and next steps, detailing exactly what to do. When my favorite old pair of trusty hip-huggers needed a quick fix, I just followed the instructions by filling out the attached form, which includes a diagram to mark exactly where you want them to make repairs.

After shipping them off, I received another email from them the day my package was received, along with an estimate based on their standard $7-an-inch rate. The total included a $12 return shipping fee.

They were returned within three weeks. For about $50, an old favorite fit like new. It would be difficult to find a brand-new pair of decent jeans for that amount, so this is a money-saving service that delivers satisfaction right to your front door!
