Here are my April Purchases and they make me a little sad. Lemme tell you why.
Tory Burch Cherry Dress - I LOVE this dress and wore it twice in April and think it will stay in style for years. $395
Ok - the other dress...I love, but I don't LOVE, and it was an impulse purchase, and it was (GULP) $545 from Anya Ponorovskaya.
So my monthly budget was blown. I spent $940, basically $200 more than I should, and I do regret it a little. I wore the dress once, and it's super flattering. I also think the cut is retro enough to stay in style. But again, I don't LOVE it. And of course - small designer = no return policy.
I've worn it once to a wedding, and it's pretty, but have really preferred to spend it on something else.
I am a closet case.
A terrible shopper who spent $15,000 last year on clothes that are just short of boring. I'm over it.
I'm starting this blog to re-learn how to shop. I want to spend way less money on way better clothes. Establish my own style. Kick my junkie-like addiction to Banana Republic basics.
I think there are a lot of women out there like me, who might enjoy reading this and get something out of it. The rest of you...feel free to point and laugh.
I love love the cherry dress. SInce I have seen the black and turquoise one on you, and it looks fabulous, I think that it's a very good purchase. The cut is really fantastic and it's definitely sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the photos of you at the wedding and you looked amazing in that dress. Keep an eye out; It'll grow on you!!
