Buy Now, Wear Forever!

Sometimes it's better to invest in pieces that will last you forever, instead of just 1 season. Clothes that remain in style, and can be worn for a decade, is worth saving up your bucks for. Yes, you may have to give up Starbucks for a year, but some pieces are truly worth it! Below are some good pieces to invest in!
 

1. Classic Chanel Purse
This classic has been worn on the shoulders of many celebrity's, It-girls and designers, and never ever goes out of style. The purse can be put onto any outfit. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt, an evening gown, summery dress, or tights and stockings in winter, it always dresses up an outfit and provides a certain je ne sais quoi. It can be styled with a long chain, short chain, used as a clutch, and makes the perfect passport and wallet bag when traveling. And you wouldn't want to leave this one in your suitcase!

2. Trench Coat
Audrey Hepburn wore several trench coats in Breakfast At Tiffany's, and Burberry made them essential for every woman's closet. They're not just for detectives anymore. The trench coat can look incredibly chic with a pair of heels. It can be worn as a dress or even over one, and you can throw it over jeans, and pair it with flats. Anyone can wear a trench coat, and it will keep you dry in the rain! 

3. Sunglasses
 A great pair of sunglasses is one of the best investments. Buy a quality pair that really suits your face shape, take care of them, and they will last you a very long time. I personally love ray bans but you can go for a round pair like Paris Hilton, or aviators like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. The choice is all yours!
 
 4. The Blazer
A simple blazer will go with almost everything in your closet. Wear one with shorts such as Anne Hathaway (above), over a cocktail dress, or dress it down for school with just a basic t-shirt and jeans. The key to investing in a blazer is finding one that fits you perfectly. Make sure your blazer is tailored at the waist and arms, and that it sits perfectly at hip level. A black blazer is very chic, and looks good with every color. Navy is a great color as well. This is one piece that's worth spending extra money on!
