You may remember I was
contacted by Smart Set via their
PR agency to participate in a program. In return, I got a mini-wardrobe consultation and a $75 gift certificate.
Instead of buying the suggested outfit, I bought a pair of casual cargo shorts for $26.99 (I’ve been living in them ever since). They were on sale from $35 and a week later, they were back up at regular price. I also picked up another pair of shorts for $9.99 but I didn’t love them so I took them back. Fortunately,
Smart Set has a no-hassle return policy.
I’ve been keeping a close eye on the chain and noticed they have different specials every week. For instance, they’ve introduced
lululemon knock-off yoga pants and co-ordinating jackets this week for an unbeatable price – any two pieces for only $50! (A set usually sells for $70.) I’m tempted to use the remainder of my gift certificate before they’re gone.
I also found a decent selection of jeans at very low prices. I think I’ve seen them on sale for under $30!
My friend
Connie told me they’ve also started offering reusable bags and last week they were free with a minimum purchase of $40 or $50.
Bottom line:I was pleasantly surprised to see so many women customers. I expected to find only teens. Staff was friendly, clothes seem to fit nicely and prices are very affordable. I probably won’t buy my work clothes at Smart Set because I find them a bit too junior and I prefer better quality. However, when it comes to basics and weekend wear, I’ll definitely pay Smart Set a visit.
