  Investment Jewelry Pieces

There is no perfect basic wardrobe that applies to all. A basic wardrobe takes into consideration lifestyle or clothing for all of our activities.  If you are a hockey coach your wardrobe is going to be a lot different  than a corporate lawyer's. However when we choose a basic article of clothing it is something we plan on wearing many times (getting our money’s worth). These items are like good investments since they will reward us many times in the future. When buying your basics purchase quality pieces, not necessarily the most expensive.

  An audit is an opportunity to take a clothing inventory and get rid of things that are out of style. 

Investing in quality is very important when choosing a handbag. Make sure that your handbag is well made. The stitching should be secure. The zipper should be strong enough to work properly and the zipper should not get caught in the material of a fabric bag. A good quality, classic handbag is a simple leather bag without a lot of ornamentation. It should last for years. When buying a handbag, keep in mind how often you will use it and what it will go with in your closet.
