MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

I was forever messaging clients saying, “Somebody just bought this dress, I think you should check it out”, or “I saw these shoes on sale and I thought of you”. There was always something that I wanted to share. A piece a client bought while I was shopping with them, a vintage gem I came across on eBay that was too good to get away, or my favourite little navy dress of the season.

I’d also notice that occasionally my clients made (costly) mistakes when I wasn’t around to see what they were buying. (i.e., help them with the sizing, fabric, etc.)  

I thought if I collectively (privately on Instagram) suggested to them what they could add to their wardrobe in between our shopping trips, then they’d make fewer expensive errors.

And that’s how Fabulous Finds & Favourite Things came about.

The aim is…

To make shopping easier. To take the time, overwhelm, frustration, and confusion out of it.

To help you build a functional and versatile wardrobe that you love.

To introduce you to new things (brands, shops, clothes, styling hacks, etc.) that you otherwise may not have known about.

To encourage you to think about curating a great wardrobe, rather than just about buying stuff.

It’s like I’m doing the personal shopping for you – as well as giving you styling ideas and expert advice – without my hourly rate. -:)

The Fab Finds & Fave Things subscription is ideal for anyone who…

• Wants to look and feel good but doesn’t have the time (energy or inclination) to physically go shopping.
• Would like to stay up to date with what’s in fashion.
• Might not be able to afford to work one-on-one with me, but would still love to learn about style, fashion, and shopping, and have the chance to ask me questions.
• Doesn’t want to make any more costly fashion mistakes
• Would just like to be shown what to buy.

This is what one of my subscribers Kate emailed me to say about Fab Finds…

The subscription cost is…

$99 for 6 months

$169 for 12 months

That’s $3.35 per week. Less than a latte 😉

If you would like to subscribe, have any questions, or would like further details about it, you can email me at meaghanbs@hotmail.com

*In the photo I’m wearing a Fab Find from Sportscraft. Originally $399, when I shared it, it was on sale for $87.

If you have a denim jacket in your wardrobe – and I know a lot of you do – rather than retire it for winter, you could try layering it under your coats and jackets.

Apart from the warmth factor, it’ll add something extra to your outfit – color, texture, and shine (the buttons). And denim’s cool.

It might not work with all of your jackets (particularly those that are oversized) and it won’t work with everyone’s style – but it could work for you.

These are a few more photos to give you some ideas…

Remember – Using the clothes in your wardrobe in new and different ways will make you feel like you have more to wear.

I can help you style your clothes in ways you may not have thought of before – in your home or via FaceTime.

*The thing about traveling with a dress like this, is that you could make it work for different events/occasions by swapping the accessories. i.e. hair down, add jewellery, a heel and a clutch OR a hat, a straw bag, and a slide or sneaker, etc…

My client sent me this pic yesterday to show me how she’d changed a dress I’d shared on my Fab Finds, into this skirt.

This is what she said….

And this, is the original dress…

The thing is, clothes off the rack are not always going to work for us. Whether the fit isn’t quite right or you’d prefer it with a different sleeve, cropped, narrowed or lengthened – always be open to making alterations so that the piece becomes perfect for you.

I think it looks pretty great, don’t you?
