I am no fashion blogger, but! Great advice here at Squawkfox entitled “Frugal fashion: 12 classic pieces every gal should own.”
I do know something about this because after my weight loss necessitated a complete wardrobe overhaul, I tried very hard to plan my purchases for maximum utility.
Of the 12 classic pieces that Squawkfox identifies, I am proud to say that I deliberately acquired 9 of them as part of my wardrobe overhaul, with a few modifications (my classic trench is black, not beige). I am also pleased as punch that this “budget” site has the same taste in designer shoes as me — I own a pair of black heels exactly the same as hers, from the same designer, except that mine are peep toe. And I bought mine used on eBay, sweet!
