Simon Doonan, Creative Director, Barney’s New York and author of “Eccentric Glamour” has this sage advice for us:

“Staying groovy and hip on a budget should not be an issue.  Good style has never been about how much money you spend.  There are young designers producing gorgeous stuff at all price points!!  The most important thing to remember when shopping for yourself is that you express your individuality.”

Can’t remember when I was groovy or hip, but I agree, we don’t have to break the bank to stay up-to-date and stylish.  Let us know what you’re doing to make your fashion dollars stretch.  We’d love to hear from you!
