I am in a conundrum and want to take a poll. I bought a few new pieces to spruce up my spring/summer wardrobe and be more fashionable but wondering if instead of buying “cheaper” items I should start to invest in a nicer wardrobe that will last. I struggle with this because I’m just not sure if those items will really last. Such as, I would love to buy a pair of loubitin’s — but will I just end up walking through them as fast as I do my $100 naturalizers?
Reading blogs like this one or Stylish Petite give me a skewed perspective I think.
So, how many of you have designer items (like Louboutin’s) in your closet? Do you wear them often? Do they wear quickly?

I don’t have any really high price pieces, but I find that even going up to the $100-150 range of shoes (like Sofft) gives me shoes that are well made and last for years.

I have four pairs of Louboutins that I wear regularly and they have worn very well. I got plastic or vinyl or something attached to the part under the toes that hits the ground when I got them and get new heel tips periodically as you would for any pair of heels. My oldest pair is probably 6 years old now and is still in great shape. FYI, I have a driving commute. FWIW, my other designer shoes have also worn well and some are over 10 years old and still going strong. I know this is going to sound snobby, but I haven’t bought cheap heels in 15 years so I can’t really compare durability.

0 “designer” brands, I go with the Macys and Nordstroms line Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, etc. I find that most of my “cheaper” stuff is pretty comfortable, looks nice, and lasts darn near forever anyways so I don’t have any real justification to spend 5x more. If I did it would probably be as a splurge to celebrate a raise or bonus or other momentous occasion but I would probably feel pretty guilty about it.

Since Kat mentioned the BB sale, I got these pants the last time they had a big clearance and have been very pleasantly surprised with them. They’re comfy, super flattering, and I generally have a very hard time finding pants I like and these were perfect right out of the box. I think they run a little large so if you’re usually between sizes, go lower, and for reference I am curvy of thigh so not sure if they would be as good for a straighter figure.

And I just bought two $79 turtlenecks at Club Monaco for $6.30 each, with free shipping. Kat, thank you so very much for aggregating all this info – you are awesome!

Love this post! Check out our new blog, http://www.smartbeautifullife.com
Sounds like we have lots in common! :) Also, I am very impressed with your disclaimer section explaining what ads you post. I am hesitant to start a blog because don’t want it to seem as though we are being sneaky with ads. Great idea. Great blog!

Also Deux Lux is having a travel sale for ladies who like the vegan leather :)
Frugal doc..
Anyone know the difference between the “Gabe” Theory blazer and the “Gabe-B” blazer (which is now on sale at Nordstrom’s)? I’d rather go to Nordstrom’s and try on the blazer to confirm sizing then buy the original “Gabe” – final sale – from Theory directly.
And is a grey suit (but not charcoal) acceptable for interviews? Curious re: your thoughts….
