The Shopping Splurge
Should we SPLURGE?
That is the unrequited question for womankind, isn't it? This is
quite possibly the "age old" question for the fashion
savior-faire crowd of the world. The answer should come
effortlessly; unfortunately we can't all afford to say yes to
every expensive pair of heels that summons us or every pricey
piece that catches our eye.
What exactly is it that causes us to lose all common sense and
spend more than our bank accounts or maxed out credit cards will
allow? Splurging is like a drug that picks you up out of that
dark hole on a bad day. It can also serve as a reward system. "I
just got a promotion, why can't I buy those pair of Manolos I've
been hopelessly drooling over at Neiman for the past 6 months?"
Sometimes it's all about the label, sometimes it's all about the
trend, sometimes it's just the way it makes you feel. The
important thing is that it's fun and it feels good to
splurge...on occasion that is. This is where the savvy splurge
comes in. A savvy splurge should be something that could be
considered a "good investment." It is these splurges that will
last through the ever changing trends of the fashion world. But
who is to say that the great pair of pink Ugg boots with the
jewels on them or that super-cute hobo peasant skirt aren't
going to carry us through the 21st century? For all you girls
out there who think every trendy piece of jewelry and every must
have pair of shoes will in fact make a comeback in the year
2015, we might have a thing coming to us when those credit card
companies decide to decrease our spending limits, or worse yet,
suspend our cards!
So, the key to splurging is deliberation and occasion. If you've
really thought it through and honestly, after you leave the
store and come back a couple times, believe you absolutely HAVE
to have that purse, go ahead and SPLURGE! Just make sure this
process doesn't tend to happen on a weekly or even monthly
basis. And for those of you who don't have the liberty of
splurging on an $800 bag, stores like Forever 21, Styles for
Less and even the local vintage shop or quick online clothing
wholesaler come in handy for those ever-popular trends that
might be over with a blink of an eye. So when you decide to take
the plunge, make sure you are going to get the miles out of
those pricey additions to your already fabulous wardrobe.
Happy shopping!
