As a person who does go to black tie events at least a couple times a year, it’s a place I’ve had to be thoughtful about how I spend money. If I can impart any wisdom in this area, it’s that formal separates are amazing. If you have to go to black tie events, you will get so much more life out a well-tailored floor length skirt in a timeless fabric like satin, taffeta, or tulle than a whole dress. It will pair nicely with a beautiful sweater, a sequined top, or even a crisp white dress shirt a la Caroline Herrera. A stylish and well-made skirt is not going to ride the tides of trendiness the ways full gown will. Last fall I wore my gold satin skirt with a satin camisole, gold cummerbund, and ivory blazer. Later that winter I wore that same skirt with a dolman sleeve sweater in olive for a Christmas event. Nobody that saw both knew or cared that the skirt was the same. People remember the meal, not the ingredients!

The earrings principle is equally true of eyeglasses, if you wear them. I spend BONKERS amounts on frames and lenses, because I wear them constantly -- I have to, because I can't see without them, and I only take them off at night. You can buy cheaper ones, but they break or fall apart, and a great pair of high-end frames are both jewelry and a medical necessity.

I feel like the one point I want to make is while good quality goods are usually expensive, expensive goods are not always good quality. The most important thing is to do your research on the brand and the item that you need before you buy. I also think there is a big jump in a lot of categories before you get to the really good quality - there isn't a huge difference between a $50 pair and a $200 pair of shoes, but there is a huge difference between a $50 pair and a $700 pair of shows. The threshold is genuinely pretty high before you get to the kind of quality that it's worth spending a lot, in my opinion.

I believe there’s another category of thing that justifies breaking your excellent guidelines: something that will allow you to participate in an activity, without which its lack might be enough to push you into sitting it out. And finding a swimsuit that allows you to leave the body drama behind for a day might - perhaps! - be enough reason to bend these sensible guidelines.

Yes! I had to go looking for the original quote. “The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.” ― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms: The Play

I have a chronic health condition and my weight fluctuates from a 2 to an 8. This makes life very hard for me because I essentially have a “sick” wardrobe and a “well-ish” wardrobe. You can imagine, I suppose, how much I like spending money on my sick wardrobe, so I mostly buy cheaper, fast fashion items that I won’t feel bad about giving to goodwill when/if I find remission again. My greatest wish is that I could count on being able to fit into my clothes from year to year, mostly because it would mean I was healthy, but also because I love my clothes and it breaks my heart to get sick and have that loss on top of all the other losses. I never know if I’ll be able to get them out again. Once, it was almost a decade.

I know it's not the same but I have many wrap type clothes (dress/ top/ coat), elasticated waistbands & scarves to help me through fluctuations. I also like sleeveless mid-layers because I tend to put weight on disproportionately in my arms.

So sorry about that, i hope you’re able to stay in remission. I have a chronic illness that has caused severe weight fluctuations for me as well, especially in the past 7 years. I have come to love flowy clothing a lot for that reason. I inherited a few vintage linen pants that were baggy even at my heaviest, I just adjust with the drawstring and they looked great when my weight dropped too. The same goes for kaftans, crocheted tops, kimonos, maxi skirts, oversized shirts, etc. Stretchy clothes like leggings or athleisure can accommodate quite a bit of fluctuation but not quite as much as I’ve needed, but those tend to wear out quickly anyways so by the time I had to purchase in a new size it didn’t feel like as much of a blow. Jeans are the worst, I think. I mostly had to phase them out, they’re too uncomfortable when I’m flaring anyways. I just have one pair that I bought at my heaviest but I can wear baggy like boyfriend jeans because of the fit when I’m down several sizes, though definitely not past a certain point.

I grew up solely on thrifted clothing, except for shoes. For this reason I have always balked at the prices of brand new clothes. Even now when I can afford to buy new clothing I still choose to buy mainly from the thrift store, for several reasons: the thrill of the find, the lower cost, the impact on the environment, I can pay for several pieces of clothing for the price of one brand new item, and the fact that I usually find extremely high quality and unique items for a fraction of their price if bought new. One thing I learned to do is to thrift formal gowns whenever I find a good quality piece with a classic silhouette. Although I didn’t need these items when I bought them, and they do take up space in my closet (though I only have 4 of them), I know I won’t find myself struggling to find a gown when the occasion arrives and I can avoid both the feeling of “I have nothing to wear to this event” and the urge (or need) to spend hundreds on an item that I’ll only wear for a couple of hours. I have also had friends or family borrow them, which means they get more use.

This is why I like thrifting for high quality pieces (I always go with specific “holes” in my wardrobe in mind). You can see how the item has worn over time and after washes. It is less expensive and therefore less of a crime if it doesn’t fit into my wardrobe the way I wanted (fantasy self) making it easier to remove the things that aren’t serving me well. Also, I have animals. It makes it easier for me to actually wear my garments if they weren’t hundreds of dollars. I love leggings. SIL got me a pair of Vuori for Christmas.

I have a lot of in between pieces that are decades old. They are almost art pieces. They go to the theatre, the opera, the symphony, the fine dining scene and the galleries with me. I have found a few of them in thrift stores but many of them were purchased on a payment plan. I have a favourite retailer who often buys a statement piece for me and discounts it. I buy one or two pieces per year but I haven’t purchased anything for about five years now. Everything is still wearable, elegant, and a bit edgy and classic. It works very well for me. Formal clothing doesn’t really suit the city I live in or the events I attend. Be prepared to hand wash or use a gentle cycle for lingerie, knits and delicates. Buy a good laundry detergent too.

As a former swimwear buyer for a big box store, mom, and grandma who spends her summers at the pool and on the beach, we ladies with womanly bodies need the support and coverage of well-made, quality swimwear. This is true for even occasional swimmers. A quality garment will give you comfort and confidence, and if you hand wash it and line dry it, it will last. Also, when you try on your potential purchase, try on the next size up. Remember, these are mass produced items, and it’s how the suit fits you, that’s important. I’ve always done this, and it makes a big difference. Nobody knows what size I purchased, but EVERYONE sees how I look in it, or at least those who care to notice an old lady.

Love this concept, but I would argue you left out a major category, sleep & loungewear. Maybe it's just me, but being disabled, I LIVE in my comfy clothes. Thanks to your recommendation, I currently own 5 pairs of printfresh bottoms, 3 shorts, 2 pants (all but one bought secondhand.). I spend more of my life in those clothes than anything else in my wardrobe. The same goes for sleepwear, I need something that is going to be really soft, breathable & natural fiber, so it makes sense that I just spent $75 on a secondhand PF nightgown (still had the tags attached.) I would say that investing in comfy clothes is going to help slim down my wardrobe considerably.

I am retired with some chronic illnesses so I also spend more time in very casual at-home wear, as opposed to my leaving-the-house clothes. I am slowly trying to up the quality of my pieces. I live where spring/summer/fall are really warm and humid. So I mostly buy linen, and 100% cotton with a soft hand feel. I’m done with clothes that are even a little bit scratchy. ✌🏻✌🏻

I love this concept and I would expand it to include a specific category of fringe pieces. They are part of specialty "gear" pieces that, while not used often, are key pieces that should be invested in based on the technical aspect of their construction. These pieces are very much dependent on lifestyle and geography. Similar to winter coats I am thinking rain coats, waterproof shoes, wind shells, base layers, winter sneakers or boots (a la sorrel joan of artic boots). How well these items function are usually correlated to price. I invested in a pair of north face winter sneakers and I've had them for almost 20 years. I rarely wear them but when it's below zero they are a key shoe in my wardrobe. I know they will keep my feet just as warm as boots, have tread profile to prevent slips while aslo reflecting my sytle. A rain coat that is actually waterproof with features like a hood, sealed seams, and adjustable cuffs that will keep you dry and comfortable is another example.

Agree on all fronts. Bed sheets and bathroom towels are 100% worth the splurge. Shampoos and personal hygiene products are worth the splurge for me for the same reason. Good socks are important. As with haircuts, it is important to take care of one’s hands and feet. If mani/pedis are in the budget, I get it. I am all in for day spas and mani pedis. My comfort in my skin and things that touch my skin are worth the splurge. Excellent advice. I have never regretted buying solid gold or silver jewelry and nearly always regret costume jewelry or plated jewelry. Lastly, splurge on a good car. Get something that is sturdy, well made, safe, and comfortable.

The fact that I got my prom dress for $100 was such a win for me, even at that age, because I knew I likely wouldn’t wear it even one more time, I could cut it short and make it more wearable but even then, it’s a formal dress; I have made plenty of moves in the wrong direction with my shopping and buying habits in the 6 years since then, but I have a limited amount of regret for those mistakes because I genuinely feel like I learned so much from them about what it feels like to make those decisions for myself and to watch my relationship with each thing play out, What stands the test of time? What are my natural inclinations and habits? What do I value in my closet and my space? I kind of feel that everyone has to go through a mildly unhinged phase of experimentation to figure themselves out, but if you’re lucky it will be done mostly theoretically with browsing and wish-listing rather than your actual money.

I schedule my haircuts for every other month, consider her fee money well spent, and tip her like the professional she is. She is able to give me a hair style that will actually last for the full two months without looking unkempt.

This is so interesting to me because I came to the opposite conclusion during the pandemic. My hair looks fine when I cut it, especially if I tweak it in the following days. The professional cut just wasn't that much better. I do however have sensory issues and going to a hair salon is an unpleasant experience that I only managed to force myself to ensure maybe twice a year. That probably changes the equation of worth a bit.

Or at the very least learn who in your city/town provides those services.

Loved this, as always Something it made me think of was how my relationship to a "work coat" changed over time. I have a corporate job, and I used to live in a city where I commuted by public transport to the office every day. So I very much needed a good quality, smart coat (like a knee length wool trench or similar), and because of the rigours of public transport, by the end of the season it would be really worn out. I found that if I bought cheaper ones, they would be dead half-way through the season, so definitely worth buying the good quality one. So I had to have it in my budget to spend a chunky amount on a work coat every year. And because of the annual nature of the purchase, I could go for it with the statement and the trendy. Then I moved to a smaller city, and commuted by car. And so I've had the same 2 work coats (winter and summer) for 6 years. I probably could have gotten away with a much cheaper coat!

I think that why we like to wear our lovers clothing from time to time. You can feel their body and there impression. There is a sense of comfort and personality. I have some lovely jackets I’ve collected over the years timeless and fit well but I never reach for them. I’m always drawn to my thrifted denim jacked I found in my home town antique store. It was a random day I was spending with my mom. It’s fits perfectly goes with everything and it’s a brand I’ve never heard of and doesn’t exist today. Just pure magic. To anyone else it’s just an old jean jacket but to me it’s home. Anyways, thanks for letting me rant.

PLEASE if you have closed leather shoes, don’t wear the same pair everyday! The leather needs time to dry between wears, even if it feels dry, and damp/wet leather is pretty fragile. It’s stretchier and scratches/tears more easily, and uneven moisture levels cause cracking. Feet sweat ! And one reason leather shoes are so nice is they absorb and let through a lot of the sweat, so your feet stay dry. If you get the shoes wet, you should even wait 2 days ideally. (Don’t let them dry by a hot place, it really damages the leather. You can put news paper balls in the shoes to help the drying process, just take them out/replace them after 12 hours) This is the reason why it’s a good idea to have 3 pairs of everyday winter* shoes : a heavy rain/snow one, that is thick oiled leather or rubber or something waterproof and quite heavy duty (so if it’s pouring rain for 6 days straight it doesn’t take a significant hit) and two others that you can alternate between. Leather sandals/open shoes benefit from a bit of rest but they dry much faster and don’t absorb as much because of the open design, so having only one pair of open shoes is less of an issue. *of course it depends on the climate you live in : if you have dry winters maybe you need only two but more summer/rainy season (if you live in tropical regions) shoes instead. Bottom line : let your leather shoes dry. They will last sooooo much longer, especially if they are made from high quality, vegetable tanned leather.

For me it has to be super well constructed (likely with underwrie), of excellent fabric, in a timeless colour, and come in DRESS SIZES, not s/m/l. Those usually run $200+ and to me it's worth every penny, even if I only wear it on vacation.

Great advice, "how much will I use this?" is one of the first things I will ask myself when deciding on a purchase. I realised this year the areas in my wardrobe that are lacking are shoes, outerwear and bags. I would frequently put together a cute look then "ruin" it because I needed to wear shoes, jacket and bag and while I like all of the few I had they didn't fit with all of my clothes (I am a lot more maximalist than Hannah when it comes to colours especially :)). I realised the answer to complimenting a maximalist wardrobe with a budget for only a few new items is choose "minimalist" or "classic" shapes and colors that go with everything (I know, genius, lol). Shoe problem is all but fixed now. Life is too short for shoes that hurt your feet, so good quality, sturdy leather and comfortable soles were the most important to me. My solution for bags: I have one nice leather bag that I love (polêne numero un in sandalwood, thank you HLP for introducing me to the brand!), and I realised for summer I favor something light and uncomplicated, so instead of investing in another expensive bag, I just got a fun canvas tote. They are cheap enough that I could easily get a few to switch it up, they are washable and don't take up much room, and they can still look classy if they are well maintained. My only problem now are jackets. I am too choosy with outerwear. I like cozy wool coats, can't wear those now, too warm. Literally most of the warmer weather jackets I see, instant dislike. Blazers? Hate. Trenchcoat? Nope. Workwear? too boxy... it's a problem.

Maybe you can try finding a nice leather jacket in your best neutral colour? Not too bikey and a bit classic. Goes a long way in spring and fall ( at least in our west European weather). Although tempting ( price/animals): dont get a vegan leather, they dont last. After a year the coloured top coat starts to crack at the areas where it touches the skin. ( Very obvious at the thriftstore).

Personally, I think if you only need 1 (or 2) of the item in question, you should feel okay with investing. Like 1 main pair of sunglasses, 1 main well-fitting swimsuit, 1 formal dress, 1 statement necklace, 1 purse, etc you save yourself from over shopping and you end up keeping these main pieces and getting a LOT of wear out of them. If you feel compelled by a second formal dress from a secondhand shop, yr budget (and closet) can still handle the purchase.

Yes to all of the 'yes to invest' list! Haircut and shoes 100%. Bras and undies - whelp, at this point comfort is paramount for me, especially for bras (since I'm a 38D with breast that really need support). For fellow broke subscribers, I've found that felina underwear ($30/5 pack all cotton) and Third Love wireless and brooks bros wireless sports bras are both affordable (especially on sale) and durable. Shoes DEFINITELY - my instep is very wide and I have to be very specific about my shoes - must have a wide toe box, if it's a high shoe it can only be a stacked platform, must be comfortable, must look cute and not orthopedic. Bonus if the lining is leather. Just a note the price point for these shoes is usually between $100-200, not more. Designer shoes, the ones in the $400+ range, are not made for my kind of feet (unless, I guess, they were custom made to my measurements). The one clothing item that I spent a lot of $$ on ($800 for Caroline Bessette-like bias cut 100% silk ivory slip gown with train - cheap by today's standards) I will never ever regret. It was magical, incredibly comfortable, looked beautiful, felt amazing, and I never wanted to take it off. There's investing in utilitarian items that is worth it for looks, durability and comfort, and there's the investing (that is far less frequent) in something that is part of a special experience...
