When to Save & When to Splurge

Now this is a question that so many women struggle with! So often, clothing items seem out of reach financially, or are just not the usual vibe. Thankfully, I am here to help you navigate when to save and when to splurge!

There are times when splurging is definitely recommended. If an item is a basic staple or is timeless and will be worn time after time, it might be a good idea to invest! Investing in an item like this is great for many reasons:

  • The item will last longer wear after wear, getting you a better bang for your buck!

  • The items will likely be cut better, therefore fitting your body better. 

  • When investing in an item, you want it to fit perfectly, so you look and feel your best self!

There are also times you should save! Everyone knows trends come and go…and then come back around again! Fashion is a never ending cycle of what is “in and what’s out”. If you are looking to keep up with the trends, that’s great! Trends are good and bad; they will always make you feel like your style is “in.” However, there will come a time when those items aren’t considered on trend anymore. When to be cautious about what to spend on an item:

  • It is labeled ‘trend’ in the advertising or description.

  • It is not something you are usually drawn to, but everyone else is wearing it.

  • You can’t look ahead a few years and still picture wearing the item.

It is definitely hard to decide whether or not something is just a trend or if it is here to stay. Use your best judgement or ask for the help of your personal stylist! We will always be able to steer you in the right direction!
