There’s something so elegant about a trench that just ties everything together so nicely. It’s a powerful piece that never seems to go out of style. I’m all about classic, timeless pieces. You can spend so much money and energy trying to be on-trend, but when you buy investment pieces, you end up with something that lasts — and saves you from looking back and cringing at your (questionable) choices (ahem, the early 2000s all-Juicy era, anyone?)!
Splurge on your capsule closet. If you’ve been wanting something that you know you’ll eventually buy, don’t buy a cheaper version just to save — if you end up buying the splurge, you’ve already wasted money on the mediocre. I’ve learned that I would rather splurge on one really great, long-lasting coat, than accumulate 10 mediocre pieces that I’ll regret buying because they don’t do much else than fill a closet. Less is more!
