The Guessing Game

        

Every savvychic woman has one friend who is a brand snob. That one girl who might say she loves your top but immediately after you mentioned you bought it on sale at the mall and not at shopbop.com spending half your paycheck she changes her mind saying it looks cheap. That one girl who swears that brand clothing makes all the difference and she wouldn't be caught dead in something that doesn't have a high end label. It is with those girls that I like to play a little game called The Guessing Game.

The rules are simple. You lay out a few like items in front of her. Some are expensive brand name pieces and others are cheaper versions. Will she be able to tell which one is the one she would buy or will she like the one she wouldn't be caught with?

I thought the game was appropriate with the new trendy headbands. Headbands were evident in all sizes on runways for next season. Thick ones or thin ones with bows à la Blair Waldorf, they're great for putting back those untrimmed bangs that keep falling in your eyes or just for adding to an outfit, they come in cheap and extra pricey. Since there's not much room for error in gluing a piece of fabric to a plastic band, however, differences are hard to spot.

Take a guess and then check your answers with the prices below.

"Elegance is a question of personality, more than one's clothing." This sentence sums up what SavvyChic is all about. Every girl loves shoes, clothes, accessories but not all girls can afford brand names for the latest styles. And that never stopped anyone from looking great. Any woman can look fabulous without spending a lot of money, all it takes is some creativity and a personal sense of style. Being fashionable doesn't require hundreds of dollars worth of designer tags, and the biggest proof of that is that the author of the quote above is none other than Jean-Paul Gaultier.
