Denim jacket, white tee, black pants and black pumps. Items we’ve all got in our closet and for me, a few basics that I always gravitate towards when I’m struggling with what to wear. Recently, I’ve been working on updating these basic staples with better quality pieces that I know I’ll love and wear over and over, and over again.
Maybe it’s the accountant in me, but before I buy a new piece of clothing I think about the cost per wear. Is it something I’ll wear once and then it’ll sit in my closet for months? For those items, which typically are the trendier pieces, I go for the less expensive option since I know the value isn’t there. Yes, don’t get me wrong, I have a tendency to splurge from time to time but I try to limit those. So, if I am debating on buying a $50 t-shirt, I ask myself if I am going to wear it more than 50 times? If the answer is yes, then I buy it. Sometimes the $700 pumps that you’ll wear hundreds of times are a better buy than the $50 pair that you wear a few times and toss since they kill your feet. This mindset has helped me shop smarter over the years.
