When it comes to fashion there are literally thousands of mode avenues you can choose. Every single one of us is an individual, a fact that for some reason becomes lost among the vast barrage of vogue visions we see every day. It can be perplexing when viewing fashion magazine spreads, fashion shows and seeing celebrity icons flaunting the latest trends. All of the above mentioned is about giving a “direction to”, as opposed to a “duplication of” fashion… so please don’t get the two D’s confused.

In smart fashion it is all about creating a tailored look specifically for you. In real fashion you can borrow from this and use from that, but in the end smart fashion is crafting your own look. By all means continue to read the style magazines, go to the fashion shows, be influenced by celebrity looks. But in the end, your style sense should reflect who you are as a person and not a Xerox Fashionista.

 

Don’t be afraid to be creative in your style selections, you can use retro looks with modern trends, you can mix fabric materials. One thing I like to recommend is to visit vintage clothing boutiques…  for me this is like being in the middle of a vogue candy store. The creative possibilities are endless and easy on the dollar. Remember, in the end smart fashion is not just about being fashionable, it's about becoming your own fashion trend!
