Years ago, I would have gone overboard with this topic because I used to do too much whenever it came to fashion. I remember how I didnt mind going to a financial extreme to adorn myself in certain clothes just to fit in a particular class. Today, I’m just glad for growth.
The one thing I absolutely don’t do no matter what is to follow fashion trends and buy clothes. I get it that it’s exciting to just go with whatever fashion style that is trending at a moment but I don’t really do that.
I believe that when those trends fade away, it’s always hard to go back to those clothes. Most times, those clothes do not really become useful again. It’s like wearing a scary costume after Halloween, you’re definitely going to receive the stares of your life.
I also love to buy clothes of great quality. Sometimes it might not be as cheap as I expect but as far it is not exceeding my budget, I just go for them. To me, this is more like an investment.
If I’m able to get a good pair of jeans, that means in the next two years, I wouldn’t have to worry about jeans. If I’m able to get really great pair of sandals, it means they would serve me for a number of years and I wouldn’t have to think about getting a new pair for a while.
There’s no way I can talk about this topic without mentioning thrifting because it’s one of the main ways to look good without breaking the bank. There are times people ask me where I got a particular sandals from and then when I tell them they were pre loved, they don’t believe me. And I don’t blame them because they are mostly really of great quality and also pretty.
Although I’m not so much a fan of designers, there are times I just see certain items from high fashion brands and then want to have them. Knowing very well I wouldn’t want to spend so much money on probably a purse or scarf, I just find my way to the thrift store.
The best part of it? I always get something similar or even better at a really affordable price and here’s the cherry on the cake, people don’t even notice the difference. Hehe.
