Lately, I've been more cautious about spur-of-the-moment shopping trips. Perhaps it's a sign of growing up or a realization that I need to be more financially responsible? Regardless, I've noticed that those impulse purchases often find a place tucked away in the back of my closet. Instead of buying things just to buy, I've decided to set a rule for myself that each piece must pair perfectly with at least three other items already in my closet.
Let's call it - the rule of thirds.
Thus, welcoming a new blog series: Perfect Pairs.
Knit Snood - Old Navy // Faux Fur Snood - Michael Kors
Leopard Skimmers - Madewell // Leopard Pumps - J.Crew
Do you set guidelines for your shopping habits?
i used to be very frivolous about my shopping. then i realized that i was either buying cheapies that came apart, too-trendy stuff that wouldnt last another season or too many boring basics...like 9 black shirts. i now make myself invest in staples that never go out of style, trend pieces that arent too loud (like maroon shoes or neon accessories) and i aim to never pay full price! hello, gilt + vintage. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to start shopping more vintage! And you are so right - I'd rather have a smaller closet filled with quality pieces vs. an overflowing closet filled with less quality pieces. xo Kat
