Money is really hard to come by these days. But being stingy on everything won't really benefit you in the long run, so get your money's worth by investing in a few key pieces that you will need to keep for the next couple of years or even the rest of your life. This is a list of some of the stuff that you can wisely splurge on:
Dress - this is a no brainer item that you can slip into on any given occasion (except a no-dress allowed party. Having one or two simple, understated, designer wear dresses is an intelligent investment. After all, it's all about the accessories. When it doubt, simply go black. You can also get a dress in any other dark or jewel tone. A cut that hits the knee is a classic one that will never go out of style. Of course, don't spend so much on trendy, casual dresses; that's a whole other story.
Black Suit - any woman should have a high quality, solid black suit. Aim to buy one with a classic cut and made of top of the line material. You can opt for one with both a complementing pair of pants and skirt to give you more styling options.
Jacket - splurging on a high quality jacket is guilt free. That's because a nice one will complement your look in a great way. When shopping for a jacket, choose one that can comfortably accommodate the largest part of your shape. For instance, make sure that the jacket can easily close over your chest, or better yet have it tailored to suit your shape.
Underwear - splurging on a high quality pair of undies, especially the bra, is a wise decision. That's because a bra can make or break the look of your top. If you have a large bust, then a designer wear bra with specific designs can give you a more balanced proportion, and for those with a smaller bust size, an extra boost.
Gym Wear - great quality designer wear gym clothes aren't at all that expensive, and it really is okay to splurge on them. Not only will they flatter you better as you toast your muffin top at the gym, but they will also stick around for a long time. Gym clothes are a practical buy. It's okay to only purchase a few choice pieces. One pair of jogging pants and a few sweaters and tops would work just fine. And wouldn't it be much better to work out looking all chic and put together?
