If you've asked me for shopping advice recently, you probably think I'm being so picky, but that's because I am. I only want things that are well made (these jeans), by good designers (these boots), that are flattering (my top) and timeless (this bag). (Note: This doesn't mean it has to come with the designer price tag - most of these items are from TJMaxx where I always find designer pieces at a fraction of the original prices). I'll always love things like a black bootie, but it occurred to me, when I noticed a good 1/4 of my closet floor was made up of black booties, that I needed to focus more on quality over quantity. And, I have to tell you, it actually feels better spending more on something great than spending less on something mediocre.

Shop the post:

// !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? 'http' : 'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p '://' 'widgets.rewardstyle.com' '/js/shopthepost.js';d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === 'object') if(d.readyState === 'complete') {window.__stp.init();}}(document, 'script', 'shopthepost-script'); //
