I'm a stylist, nanny, and figure skating coach. After graduating from college and working in the fashion retail industry for several years, 2020 was the year I took my passion for style and turned it into a business! I love DIY home projects and I’m equally comfortable operating a power saw or picking out the perfect pair of shoes. I'm extremely close with my family and they are frequently recipients of my solicited (or unsolicited) fashion advice.
How do you decide when its ok to spend more $$ for an item of clothing than you normally would?
For me, I analyze the item’s COST PER WEAR. ✨
What’s that?! The more you would wear the item, the lower the “cost per wear” is. For example — if you buy a pair of jeans for $100 that you’ll probably wear 100 times, that’s $1/wear. But if you buy a dress for $100 to wear once…that’s $100/wear.
Some other things I take into account: how well the item would fit with my lifestyle, my personal style, and if it is good for my body type. If all those are good, I’ll likely wear it a lot – so it will have a lower “cost per wear”. These are the items that may be worth spending a bit more money on. 👏🏼
For me, these are things like denim & athletic wear. What wardrobe staples are YOU willing to spend a bit more money for?
