On Tuesday, I shared the goals I have for this year. One of the very real goals is spend less, which doesn't mean I have to sacrifice fashion if I play my cards right. Over the last year, I invested in some quality basics, so I think the best way to keep my wardrobe current is through accessories. Some of the pieces below are more timeless, others are more trendy--but they're all under $30.
Investing in one quality piece rather than a number of less expensive pieces may be the best bet for the long term, but for the short term, I will be focused on finding a few pieces which keep me current without busting our budget. I'll keep you posted on my progress along the way--and I'll use my Friday's Fancies posts to dream big :)
i'm all about flair for less! and try to pick "for less" pieces that don't look it. :)
ReplyDeletei love that tortoise bracelet! h bought me a similar one for christmas. xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to spend less too and my biggest culprit is clothing and accessories. I love your idea of spending less on "flair." I love those cobalt gloves, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that bag! I can't believe all of these great finds are under $30!
ReplyDeletexo,

Great budget friendly finds! I'm loving those earrings!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree--sometimes you just need to grab a few pieces that will keep you up to date, that aren't expensive. Plus, with trends like they are today, it won't hurt to spend less on the trendy stuff since it won't be in style for ages. Love the H&M necklace :)
ReplyDeleteSeeing posts like this make me really wish H&M had online shopping! We have an H&M at the mall with all the good stuff--I'm just afraid to go in or I'll fall victim to too much beauty and blow my January goal of no accessories, shoes, or clothes! :) But how pretty and fun! Check out BaubleBar too! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOoo so many pretty things here...can't believe they're $30 or less!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously considering ordering those gloves (in tobacco). I recently bought a coat from anthro (major sale discount) and it has 3/4-length sleeves so I need elbow-length gloves!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you and trying to save this year. These pieces are so lovely. I love that purse! Can't believe they are all under $30. Nice finds!
ReplyDeletei looove all of those classic pics!
ReplyDeletei'm trying to purchase more classic investment pieces too. :)
love, leigh
Love the tortoise shell bracelet!
ReplyDeletewho doesn't love a little flair! Those gloves... yes!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love stud earrings, and they don't need to be pricy to be eye-catching : )
ReplyDeleteLove the quilted bag too, because you can take it anywhere and won't need to worry about spilling!
french women have very small closets. my french friends were amazed by the amount of clothes i brought with me - that was the entire of amount of clothing they owned. they invest in classic pieces like you said and change it up with accessories.
ReplyDeleteso i think this is a great idea! how very french of you. haha.

Love those earrings and the bangle! I agree with you. I spend money on classic pieces and less on trendy pieces.
ReplyDeleteLove the tortoise bangle! And that Nars pencil looks fantastic, too.
ReplyDeleteLove #5!!!
