5 designer investments

I believe in the "price per wear" theory. If you buy something for $X and divide it by the number of times you wear it, then you get its true value. For example, my favorite Chanel sunglasses were about $300 and I've worn them about 300 times. Therefore, they really cost $1 a day to wear; I would definitely pay $1 a day to wear them too. I also know that we're still young and we don't have thousands of dollars to spend on designer pieces, even if they are investments. Due to all of this I've compiled a list of five key designer pieces under $300 that will undoubtably have low "prices per wear":


1. PUCCI SCARF - You can wear it anywear and the classic print will never go out of style.

2. LOUIS VUITTON SMALL LEATHER GOODS (wallets, makeup bags, etc.) - They come in really great shapes and sizes and will last for years.

3. MISSONI SCARF - The beautiful colors and striped or zig-zag pattern can put a little punch into any outfit all year round.

4. GUCCI BELT - A good belt is a staple in any wardrobe and the logo buckle on this belt is great.

I totally agree about the Louis Vuitton. Brown to me is totally timeless and even tho all the LV's can be a wee bit tacky, if the wallet is small nuff, it totally pulls it off. <3 ur blog :)
