A Britney Spears moment
14 Jan
So lately, even though I haven’t been adding much to my wardrobe, I’m beginning to think I would like to switch gears. I want to move more toward quality, investment pieces rather than cheapy throw-a-way items that start to unravel after the first wash (yes, I’m talking to you Forever 21). The only problem with this is my budget. Its really hard to justify spending hard earned dollars on clothes when there is always something more ‘practical’ to spend them on.
Thus I feel like I am having a Britney Spears moment. When it comes to shopping: “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman” (Please sing this in your head for the full effect). I’m kind of over Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe but can’t yet afford the offerings of Nordstrom, Shop Bop, and other higher-end stores and boutiques. I’m not saying I’m above shopping at certain stores now, I’m just going to try to buy only things I truly love. And if I’m buying less, I should be focusing more on quality.
Where do you like to shop? High-end? Low-end? Thrift? I’m ready to take suggestions and re-think my shopping just in time for spring!
And with that, I’ll leave you with some gorgeous spring dresses on my ‘maybe someday’ list. They are by Shoshanna who I had never even heard of before today (see? I have a lot to learn!)
-Quality over quantity=spending the same amount of money, but buying one thing instead of 10.
-yoox.com-designer stuff on sale
-basics + fit=good wardrobe
I’m working on all this stuff too.
These are so pretty! I love bright colors!
I agree about fit. No matter how much or how little you spend, if it doesn’t fit, you’ve wasted money. I need to work on this too!
Maybe you want to learn to sew!!
