What was an “investment piece” you got that didn’t work out and why?
Our take
In the journey toward cultivating a refined wardrobe, we often encounter moments of hesitation and reflection, especially when it comes to investment pieces. I remember my early 20s, when well-meaning peers encouraged me to prioritize quality over quantity. However, this advice led to a few costly missteps. I found myself splurging on items I thought would elevate my style, only to realize they didn’t align with my true essence or lifestyle. What about you?
Ever think long and hard about an investment clothing purchase, but that still ended up not panning out? What was a splurge of yours that flopped and why?
(By investment, I mean a higher than usual spend with the goal of long term high use, and not the actual financial definition).
Looking back to my early 20’s, I received a lot of advice from colleagues or peers to buy less and invest more in high quality items. However, by doing so, I also made quite a few expensive mistakes!
What are yours?
