Fashion: When to splurge

Hello Fashionistas! A lot of us get wrapped up in buying designer pieces that cost a fortune. Is it really a good idea? Well, I believe that investing in your wardrobe is a good idea, but only to a certain point. I feel that when buying clothing you have to think about trends, and classic pieces. For example I recently bought a pair of red jeans. I know this is only a trend and will go out of style within a short amount of time, so I opted to purchase a inexpensive pair. On the other hand when I purchase a new pair of regular denim jeans I tend to spend a little bit more because I know I will wear them for a long time. When purchasing classic pieces it may be worth paying a little extra. If you buy high quality pieces they should last a very long time, and in the long run may save you money from repurchasing inexpensive items. Here are some of my tips when making a expensive purchase.

• Choose classic colors like black, brown, grey, or navy. These colors never go out of style and can be used in many ways.
• Choose classic pieces that can be worn with many different outfits such as jeans, blazers, skirts etc...
• Think it over! When buying expensive items spend some time making sure its what you want! Don't regret your purchase in the morning.
• Consider how often you will wear the piece. If your buying for a special occasion and only going to wear the piece once is it really worth the investment?

At the end of the day you want to feel good about what you bought and not buyers remorse.

Peace & Love
