Let's be real we've all bought the $5 top from Forever 21 that is ill fitting but you thought it was cute and then you never wore it, or maybe you wore it once. How many of you have multiple shirts like this? And how many do you own? At least 10 I'm sure!
I am a bargain shopper until I die, but sometimes it really gets me. I have spent so much money on basics that I wore two times before they either fell apart or I didn't even wear them at all. If you think about it, all the money I wasted on clothes I never wore I could have purchased better quality pieces!
Don't get me wrong, I am fresh out of college, I did not have the money to spend on high quality clothing so less expensive clothing was all I could afford and I still rock it! Don't feel obligated to spend more money on basics if you feel like you can't, money isn't everything!! If you can spend a little more, even on a few pieces, do it! My favorite pieces I own are the ones I have spent more on because they are better quality and I know they will last me longer.
I like to spend more on basics, things like, body suits, jeans, basic tops, shorts, and some shoes! My favorite bodysuit is from a brand called Naked Wardrobe, it is a plain black tank top bodysuit that was $38. The material of this bodysuit is so soft and I wear it at least twice a week! My favorite jeans are the 10 inch high rise jeans from Madewell! The way they shape my body make me feel so good and confident and they run around $128. Lastly my favorite shoes are from Steve Madden! These booties run at $120 and are super comfortable!
If you think about it, we just created a whole outfit that you can wear that will last you so much longer than the $5 top! I like to invest in basics that will last me longer, that make me feel better, and that I can wear with multiple things!
