STYLE & BEAUTY Save and Splurge – Wardrobe

Save & Splurge Wardrobe Ideas for Spring 2020

I think it's a good practice to have a mix of ‘save & splurge’ pieces within your wardrobe. I think most people would agree having a mix of high- and low-priced items in your closet is beneficial, but I don't think we agree on every item we should be saving or splurging on. That's because we all have different lifestyles, personal preferences and spending habits. If my list looks a little different than yours, don't sweat it!

Keeping up with what’s trendy in accessories is more important to me than having authentic gold rings, necklaces and earrings.

When to Splurge

jeans | I wish I would have found this out for myself way sooner! The right pair of denim jeans can make all the difference. Your favorite pair of jeans should be comfortable, flattering, durable and made from quality denim. They should last you five or more years, so in my opinion they are worth investing in.

outerwear | This is something that you may not consider a ‘splurge’ item, but when you live in Saskatchewan and it gets down to –40°C in Jan/Feb—you get yourself a good, warm winter jacket. I also think an all-season jacket (denim, a trench, whatever you'll get the most wear from) is worth splurging on.

handbags | I don't believe every purse you own needs to be a high-end brand. However, I believe the one or two that you carry around most often should be. Why? Because a good handbag will last you years whereas one that you buy from a big-box store might only last you a few months if you are using it everyday.

everyday shoes | Again, I'm not saying all the shoes you own should drain your bank account. I would say most of the shoes I own are in the ‘save’ category. However, ‘splurge’ shoes that are made from high quality materials will be able to withstand our unpredictable weather of snow and rain a lot longer than synthetics.

When to Save

tops | This is the category I save on the most! In my personal experience, I have not noticed a huge quality difference in tops that are $25 compared to those that are $100 or more. I also consider tops one of my ‘save’ items because I am constantly updating my wardrobe.

If you don't update your wardrobe as often as I do, you might feel tops are more of a splurge item for you. But I can't afford multiple $100 tops (heck, I have trouble with tops that are even $50) if I'm rotating them every six months or so!

accessories | This is another big ‘save’ category for me because I am constantly updating my accessories based on the latest trends and styles. Keeping up with what's trendy in accessories is more important to me than having authentic gold rings, necklaces and earrings.

casual shoes | Look at me breaking the rules by putting a category on both lists! It’s the truth. I consider shoes to be both a ‘splurge’ AND a ‘save’ item. I choose to save on trendy or seasonal shoes I know I probably won't be wearing for longer than a couple years.

I'd love to hear how your list differs from mine! Visit my blog—kiteenscloset.com— where I share some of the items I own as examples in each category.
