investment pieces

times are tough. but you can't always cut corners when it comes to classics. you get what you pay for with shoes, bags and other wardrobe staples that will be in your closet for years to come. the following investment pieces are worth the extra hours at the office.
  • fabulous wear-with-everything flat sandals
  • nude pumps. I love the christian louboutin very prive patent leather platform peep toes
  • a classic, seasonless handbag big enough to fit a pair of flats and a snack (if you're spending all that money on shoes, try saving some cash by packing your lunch). I am coveting the chanel maxi and I will get it...
  • a blazer
  • white trousers, preferably lined
if it's a trendy piece that will only take you through the season at best, save your money and shop smart. department stores and boutiques are fighting for your business so take advantage of sales and lower-priced outlets to feed your need for that item of the moment. happy bargain-hunting!

stay tuned and always stay stylish!
