The rationale behind this is to identify one key fashion item each month that adds to a wardrobe. Keep with me on this one....think about it if you only buy one item a month you can save the additional money you would have spent.
Now what I select each month isn't going to be to every ones taste and there are some of you who are superb thrifters and others who are not currently buying or making their own. If that's the case then look at it another way - it's a savings plan. If you actually put aside the amount the High Street pick of the month costs - you could in 6 - 12 months time actually buy that divine Dior number, the cute Chloe chiffon, a Marc Jacob bag - whatever is your must have!
It is an alternative to spend spend spend, and equally not a reaction to doom and gloom economy issues. I haven't bought the Oasis dress so technically I saved £70 already.
I like your thinking...now what will Imelda put her money towards...hmm
ReplyDeleteGenius! I worked out at lunchtiem, only coz it was raining that I spend £200 a month on clothes with no real putpose. I like your idea. Keep it high street please as Grazia is goign mega designer these days.
ReplyDeleteHa! What a great little dichotomy. If I had the dough, I'd buy this month's pick in a heartbeat ... but sadly, I'll have to stick to the savings plan.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea! Lovely dress for sure. My personal high street pick of the month: I definitely need a pair of really cool shoes.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo soooo much for making Style Du Monde blog of the week! I almost fell of the sofa when I saw it! :-)

Hi there!! I really love this dress and honestly, before I saw your comment I thought 'that will go really nice with the M&S grey boyfriend cardi'. If I could thrift something like this, I'll be well chuffed-a very good pick indeed!
ReplyDeleteHA! You are so smart! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy what you can spend on clothes, I practically need to get a new peices every week. I'm trying to be good but it's difficult.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I can't wait to see where this goes.
ReplyDeleteI always think I'm going to save like this but it almost never works....
ReplyDeleteI love an autumn-y bloom! I picture a cool hat with that as well :)
