As a savvy mom, how can you make smart fashion choices for your daughter without breaking the bank? How do you ensure she feels fashionable and can express her individuality without resorting to more Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers T-shirts?
In 2009, two things are certain: you'll likely be keeping a close eye on your fashion spending and monitoring credit card usage as America slowly recovers from the economic downturn of the previous year. Meanwhile, your daughter—whether she's a young girl, tween, or teen—will still want to look stylish every day, both at school and on weekends.
As a smart mom, how do you make wise choices for her that won’t break the budget? Also, how do you ensure your daughter still feels like she’s fashionable and able to express her individuality and personal sense of style without buying more Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers T-shirts?
When you review her wardrobe together, you'll naturally find some basics that need replacing as she grows. While essential items like blue jeans are necessary, they don't always provide the fashion flair that makes her feel confident and special.
Consider taking inspiration from European fashion. Women and girls in countries like France, Italy, and Great Britain often buy a few basic pieces and enhance them with standout accessories like belts, jewelry, shoes, and purses. This approach has several advantages:
One great accessory to consider is the XpressIt belt with Twistonz. These belts offer flexibility in expressing personality and mood with just a few special accessories. Available in various hot fashion colors for Spring 2009—such as mimosa yellow, classic red, aqua blue, limey green, and perfect white—these belts feature grommet holes all around, allowing girls to attach Twistonz, small metal discs about the size of a penny with cute pictures, sayings, and symbols.
Your daughter can choose her favorite colors and use Twistonz to express herself, from spelling out her name to showcasing her interests in going green, sports, shopping, and more. The XpressIt website even has an Ideas page to inspire her creativity.
These belts are so trendy that they were featured in holiday gift bags given to Hollywood celebrity moms like Heidi Klum, Brooke Shields, and Debra Messing. American designer James Androuais, who noticed the popularity of social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook, developed the idea. He observed how much girls love expressing themselves with their friends. According to 22-year-old Androuais, "XpressIt belts and Twistonz let girls have something special, all their own, and fun to wear."
A cool belt in hot colors that’s uniquely expressive is what girls want to make the same pair of blue jeans and a T-shirt or blouse look fresh for Spring 2009. She can be updated without purchasing a new wardrobe. XpressIt belts also give girls, tweens, and teens a fashion choice that’s wholesome and age-appropriate.
In 2009, staying stylish on a budget is entirely possible with smart choices and creative accessorizing. By focusing on versatile basics and enhancing them with unique accessories like XpressIt belts, you can help your daughter feel fashionable and confident without overspending. This approach not only saves money but also teaches valuable lessons in smart spending and personal expression.
