This is an ode to my dear friend who just finished paying off her first Chanel bag. In another exhilarating "taxi debate", we recently discussed whether it makes more sense to drop a thou on a once in a lifetime trip or on a handbag that you'll have forever. Personally, I was a little torn. But on that note, I was inspired to do a post on "the classics" - i.e. fashion staples for those of us looking to invest in a few items that might not appreciate, but will carry valuable stock in our overall wardrobes.
Ever heard of a CPW (cost per wear?). Well, the CPW of these items might just make a case to support my (now debt free) girl's side of the argument. What do you think?
CHANEL BAG
BURBERRY TRENCH COAT
CARTIER LOVE BRACELETS (THE WATCHES ARE CLASSICS TOO!)
GUCCI SUNGLASSES
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG WRAP DRESS (ANY PATTERN/COLOR WORKS!)
DAVID YURMAN RING (OR BANGLES, EARRINGS, PENDANTS....)
LOUIS VUITTON LUGGAGE
(START WITH A CARRY-ON OR DUFFLE - LESS DAMAGE!)
HERVE' LEGER DRESS (SEX NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE!)
CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN HEELS (WHO DOESN'T LOVE A RED SOLE?)
Don't forget the Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags as classics.
