HOW TO DECIDE IF A TREND IS WORTH INVESTING IN
Before you splurge on that new trendy handbag you’ve been eyeing or a fun trendy pair of jeans give a similar (more affordable) version a spin first.
For instance, while I mostly purchase quality denim that typically comes with a $100+ price tag there was no way I was going to drop that on this trend, Slouchy jeans. By purchasing and wearing this affordable option I’m able to give the trend a test spin to determine if this is a style worth investing in for me.
As of now, spending more than $35-$40 on this style of denim is a no-go for me but I’m really enjoying this affordable pair.
However, on the flip side if I loved these jeans so much and started reaching for them a couple of days a week I’d say YES, it’s worth a splurge!
Long story short, if there’s a trendy item you want to splurge on buy a less expensive option. If you wear it TF out then you have the green light to splurge. You’re welcome!
OUTFIT DETAILS
SWEATER | SIMILAR COAT | DENIM (SIMILAR)| SIMILAR BOOTIES
SWEATER: Fits, TTS. Very soft and cozy. This billowed top and cinched waist gives the illusion of a slimmer waist which we are all here for!
COAT: If you’ve been here before, you know her! Her name is Celeste, she was thrifted last year at a local thrift store for $20 ish. She’s vintage from the 80’s or 90’s, 100% wool *praise hands*
DENIM: While brainstorming Spring Summer looks I couldn’t come up with much besides fun denim and bodysuits (or tops that look like bodysuits). I had my eye on the Slouchy Jeans from Zara so when they got marked down during the Winter Sale they were an immediate purchase. I bought my TTS but starting a new fitness challenge (aka working to get off the last of this weight I gained) they should get slouchier which I’m very much into. The styled at Zara is selling out, Luckily, I found a new pair HERE
