Let's face it being in love with fashion is not cheap. I don't know about you but I don't have an endless budget for clothes. Mind you, I have a closet full of clothes but I end up wearing the same pieces each season again and again. I recently filled 8 bags with clothes that I don't wear anymore and it all went to charity! It got me to thinking about the clothing that has staying power - the Prada boots I bought 10 years ago, my Birkin Bag and Hermes belt. Nope, I am not tossing those into the charity bin! My new strategy is to buy a few good investment pieces and fill in with trends. Will let you know how that goes!
Today it is rainy and dreary and the situation required rain gear. On days like today a POP of color is a must! I pulled out my Burberry trench - a great investment peice (
similar in pink here) and threw in some red details. Voila!
The fun part is imparting some color into this ensemble and I love using black as a backdrop to fun, colorful shoesand coats. Recently, I bought my red rockstud flats - a new investment piece on sale at lastcall.com - pure luck there! Similar here in pink (
not on sale). I really believe these flats have staying power. Umbrella is Marc Jacobs and my vintage Gucci shopper has made a comeback!
