Thank you for your contributions to this debate - which as ever are inconclusive! I mean this in a positive way because in one sense the phrase 'what is one man's pleasure is another man's poison' is as applicable for fashion as anything. The good thing is we do as we please to a certain extent. We take what we believe to fit into out lives and apply accordingly or even just do as we please.
So, this week I'm going to ask you for your top five items that you would spend serious money on - the things of quality you would buy to keep forever.

ReplyDelete1. Chanel 2.55
2. McQueen long black military coat

5. I would say shoes for this last one but I can't get it down to one pair so either Chanel ballet pumps or riding boots; or Westwood red heeled mary janes or black three strap heels - I wear these out of all my shoes the most.
All these things I just LOVE and are such good quality, but I could list so many other things ha ha!
Brown leather boots, a gorgeous dress (or four) and a good quality jacket!!
