6 New Items Per Season
I must say being a blogger and keeping things to a minimum can be a difficult task but I think I’ve been managing everything pretty well. When it comes to clothes I feel less is more and quality or quantity. I’m still missing a few staple pieces to my wardrobe (which I will be investing in a particular item very soon!) and I’m also heading to NYC in May so it will be perfect timing to find new items for Spring.
So I made a promise to myself to only purchase 6 new items for each season wether they are trendy or staple pieces. But the catch is to get rid of 1-2 items I already own, the one in one out policy.
On My (very monochrome) Shopping List
- Black ankle boots, I can wear them all year round
- The good ole black skinny jeans
- Birkenstocks, yup you read right!
- COH jeans
- I’m a hat girl so I’m patiently waiting for the Janessa Leone Fall 2015 collection to release, I’m 100% positive I’ll be placing an order!
- Jumpsuit, all black of course
Things I need to avoid
- Online browsing at night, gets me all the time!
- Sales (unless it’s too good to pass up)
- Alternatives or dupes, I find that if you spend a bit more it holds up better and you save money in the long run. You are better off buying one good thing instead of buying 5 different versions of it because they don’t last as long
When I’m investing in key items I do a thorough review of the product (tendencies of a blogger) and sit on it for a while. This gives me time to piece outfits together in my head and see if it’s something I really need, will I get my moneys worth? Stay tuned for a recap and see if I stay true to this little experiment.
