CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Today on the show, we were joined by Laura Long, Founder of Smart Southern Style, who shared affordable, transitional options, perfect for late Summer and early Fall. “I started Smart Southern Style seven years ago to give women 40 and up style inspiration without spending a fortune,” says Long. “Most of the pieces I share are under $100, and many even under $50. ” The vision is to create a community where fashion is accessible, empowering, and joyful for every woman, regardless of age or budget.
Today we featured stylish picks from Avara, an online brand known for wearable, budget-friendly pieces. Everything shown was under $100, with the exception of Deanna’s jacket.
Lee showcased a breezy, fall-toned puff sleeve embroidered top paired with off white wide leg jeans with nude sandals. It’s a top that can be paired with darker denim jeans and boots if decided to change up the look. The outfit is easy to layer with a blazer when the temperature drops as well.
Deanna rocked a chic jacket over a beautiful standalone olive shirt. The shirt is one that could be paired with jeans and sneakers or boots.
“These looks are comfy, flattering, and perfect for now and October,” Long adds. “Just swap your sandals for boots or throw on a denim jacket, and you’re good to go.” Whether you’re holding on to summer or ready for that first fall breeze, these looks will have you covered in style — without breaking the bank.
