Trendlee: How To Invest in Your Closet

Today I want to talk about something every woman faces: shopping wisely! Space for me comes at a premium and I try to only hang on to things that bring value to my life. Don't wear it? Get rid of it! With that idea in mind, I try to  invest in pieces that will last me a lifetime instead of a quick fix. Cue my newest obsession: Trendlee  

I discovered Trendlee last year and have since then stalked their new arrivals page consistently. It's perfect for someone like me who wants to invest in quality but who also loves/needs a deal. I can safely say that I never regret purchases like this. I want to share with you my philosophy on smart shopping and investing wisely.

Cost Per Wear

How often will you use this item? If the answer is not very often, or even just once, make sure you are comfortable spending X amount of dollars for that item per wear. For example, are you comfortable spending $150 on a dress you'll wear once? Or $75 for a dress you can wear to a wedding then a night out for your friend's birthday? You be the judge!

Seasonal Trends

Prints, colors, cuts change like the wind and are what make fashion fun. But sometimes certain trends don't make it past a few months. If you want to invest in an item that won't date you in a few months, stick to the classics. Now don't get me wrong, participating in a current embroidered denim or gladiator sandal craze is fun, but maybe find a more wallet friendly option to feed the craving. 

6 Items To Invest In 

• Two Pairs of Good Shoes: You need a beautiful pair of flats and a classic pair of heels. Select ones that show your personality but that can also be worn with almost anything. 
• A Solid Trench Coat: They never go out of style and are easily incorporated in many looks. 
• Perfectly Tailored Blazer: Blazers can take you from day to night and be dressed up or down. I love them with jeans and a tee or over a dress.
• Meaningful Jewelry: Find a piece that is important to you and that can be worn every day. 
• The Little Black Dress: You never know when you'll need a quick change or maybe you have an important event. The LBD will always save the day. 
• A Great Handbag: It's something you use every day and will last you for many years.
