Investment Piece

Some argue that fashion is not an investment, I tend to disagree.

Granted it will not bring you much of a return other than pure Material pleasure.

What designer item are you wanting? and do you consider it an investment? 
or a frivolous act of self indulgence?

My husband, the ever so practical man that he is, would much rather I invest my money in things like GIC, RRSP or TFSA… (Those acronyms seem so foreign to me !)

The initials that always bring a smile to my face are : L.V , DVF, YSL and M.K.

Now let me clarify; as much as I love expensive things.
I rarely go out and spend ridiculous amounts of money on designer things…… 
but I do, however spend often on lesser quality fashion items.

So the question is :
Are we better off saving & spending more for better quality fashion ? = (Save & Splurge) 
or Should we buy more & more often of lesser fashion quality to
satisfy our wants & needs ? (always the big debate at my house !) = (Frequent Spending)

THE BIG SPLURGE

THE LOOK FOR LESS

Personally I find it difficult to answer that. 

Whereas I love all those luxurious designer clothes and bags.The reality of my world is that I would likely only have 4 things hanging in my closet and that would make me "very" sad !

So I prefer to choose cheap fast fashion and occasionally invest in timeless designer accessories and handbags.... A girl can never have too many purses and shoes !

My most recent and much adored investment is my " Delightful".

“Delightful” is just that, a happy adjective to describe a pleasant experience.
Also the name of my very first …..Louis Vuitton.

I have wanted an authentic LV for so long, and finally gave in to temptation this
past summer while in Rome.
There is nothing better than buying a designer purse in Europe!!

My next object of designer obsession is the ever popular Céline mini luggage and a vintage Hermès scarf.  

Send me your comments I’d love to hear what you are lusting after and how you choose to invest :)
