What is the time frame in which a coveted, stalked item loses its value? Why do we look down our noses at these same items once they have been marked way down in price? As captivating as the new rollouts are, I also like to enjoy the pieces I already own.
I peruse the racks eagerly looking for that elusive great
deal on a real keeper. Timeless,
classic, comfortable, not too trendy, and preferably in a go with everything neutral.
But why do I always get up in the morning, stare at
a closet full of clothes and try to formulate an outfit based on my
newest fancy? Why buy timeless if after a while they seem staid and tired?
I don’t have the mindset nor the wallet for
all new, so I am trying to be more loyal to my former "I can't live without "purchases. Those white Cafe Capri's made me so happy a few months ago.
This summer, I bought some fun final sale items that were out of my (embarrassingly neutral) color comfort
zone and I am really enjoying the lift they give to my wardrobe of old and newer pieces. They add spark, and were not very costly. They are perfect for the weather now!
What about you?
Do you cherish your well worn pieces or always cast a fickle eye to the next
and best?

I have worn these 3 pieces so many times that they are probably in every family photo :) . I would buy them again today if I could.
Wouldn't it be great if every purchase got so much use!
Which pieces do you feel have stood your test of time?
