INVESTING IN VERSATILITY



Today, I am feeling a little spendy. This is never a good thing for my wallet, so I have to keep away from any stores. Anywho, while its pretty obvious I try and get a lot of bang for my postgrad buck when shopping, there are definitely times to shell out a little more cash then usual.

Case #1:  The Silk Boyshirt button down at Madewell. At $84.50 (although we would shell out the full $118 for this top) it's a good price for a very versatile piece. I love this top to wear out to dinner with leather leggings, tucked into a full skirt with flats and a sweater for the day time, or paired with sleek slacks and a blazer for the office. The rose print is pretty, stylish, and still professional. An A+ in our book!

Tip: when spending a little more, versatile pieces are so important. That way, you are still getting bang for your buck through something you can wear often.
