Quote of the Day

Wear This, Not That: Chevrons

Life is all about fine lines and making wise - or in the case of fashion, chic - choices.

Case in point: chevron stripes

Wear This:  Luxurious artisanal weaves by iconic Italian design house Missoni

Not That:  Charlie Brown chevrons go a little juniors-section-at-the-mall and are almost always made of the cheapest polyester at unethical sweatshops.  This look screams mass-produced and inexpensive.

"Good grief!"  The fundamental difference is quality and sophistication. 

Have a beautiful day!

Accolades

Augusta Twenty has garnered lots of press over the years - People Style Watch, OK! Magazine, Women's Health, Lucky, and Elle - just to name a few.  Somehow this week feels extra special with features in the September issues of both In Style and Southern Living.  We might just break out the champagne.

Quote of the Day

“Build a good name. Keep your name clean. Don’t make compromises, don’t worry about making a bunch of money or being successful — be concerned with doing good work and make the right choices and protect your work. And if you build a good name, eventually, that name will be its own currency.” — Patti Smith, on the best advice she ever got.

We LOVE this quote.  It articulates the foundation of our business.  Through economic ups and downs, competitors coming and going, and conservative southern barriers, we strive to maintain our distinct vision.  We refuse to pedal a mass-produced, designer knock-off product.  At Augusta Twenty, you will always find proven international brands with ethical practices.  It has not always been an easy road to take, but the accolades continue to pour in.  This mentality has attracted such an intelligent, confident clientele.  We couldn't be more thankful; to succeed without compromising your personal integrity is too fulfilling for words.

Look We Love

The Fit & Flare

This feminine, whimsical look is actually quite versatile.  For a casual day shopping with girlfriends, layer a black leather jacket and a Parisian-inspired ballet flat.  To take this style from daytime to a cocktail party, just add sky-high pumps and glitzy jewelry.

Fit & Flare styling is a trend that most body types CAN try.  The trick lies in where the flare begins.  You want to make sure that the flare starts just above the widest part of your body.  This look highlights the small of the waist while adding the illusion of curves to waifish figures and camouflaging curvier shapes.

Quote of the Day

We all know a shop-a-holic.  Perhaps some of us even suffer from this affliction ourselves.  What purpose does it serve to constantly buy inexpensive, trendy, and - let's face it - poorly made garments?  Why not cull down your wardrobe to luxurious basics and soul stirring statement pieces that can be paired in a myriad of ways?  This is the foundation of how we select collections for the store and how we help our clients build their closets: Quality Not Quantity.
