SMART STYLE                    

What is fashion?  Is it a label, a price tag, the latest look?  Do you have to be a model

and very thin to achieve it?  Does it require spending a lot of money?  We at SmashAccessories think you can achieve great fashion with stylish, affordable, quality items.

Have you heard the expression “Fashion Slave”, and do you know what it means?  In our opinion a fashion slave is someone who follows the latest styles and designers, even if the look isn’t good on them, sometimes at outrageous expense, just to be “in”.    We’ve all seen celebrities in magazines and tabloids being judged on their look, did it work or didn’t it.  And, we’ve all seen ordinary people on the street wearing things that just weren’t meant for them.  Looking good or looking bad can happen to anybody.

Fashion looks are copied and tried on by everyone.  Not every look works for every person.  It’s important to find our look and stick with it.   Of course our look can be enhanced and updated with new trends.  But let’s be honest with ourselves and only pick what makes us look good, not something that makes someone else look good.   Great style is what works for you. 

So how does one achieve great style without spending a fortune?  It definitely can be challenging.  We all would love to have an Hermes handbag or a Chanel suit, but why covet a label  if it puts you in the poor house.   We can all find a great look at a much more reasonable price.  Affordable and stylish apparel, handbags and other accessories can be attained without sacrificing quality.

Great style in our opinion is smart style, and smart style is buying smart.   Finding value in stylish, quality, affordable items that make us look great is buying smart.  Read the  fashion magazines, window shop at the great stores for great fashion ideas.  Decide what works for you, then take your time and find the best resource for your purchase.  Try just adding one new piece to already classic, quality clothes and accessories.  You’ll get a new, updated look instantly.  Remember:  affordable, quality style is buying smart!
