　　But rather than walk around in oversize dresses made from naff fabric, Jillian Owens, from Columbia, transforms the vintage pieces into chic new outfits - showcasing her DIY projects on her website。然而，这位哥伦比亚设计师吉莉安·欧文斯可不是穿着材质老土、尺寸过大的衣裙到处显摆，而是将这些老古董改造成了时髦的新衣——并且在她自己的网站上展示她的DIY项目成果。

　　2.Miss Owens says the fact she can 'dress well on the cheap without hurting the environment' is important。欧文斯小姐指出，她能够“环保的前提下将廉价的衣服穿出时尚范儿”，我要告诉大家这是能做到的！
