People seem to picture me as some young rich person who can afford to buy everything I write about. And yet I am trying to prove that wrong because it is a complete lie. Surprisingly enough, working in fashion is all about appearances and although my articles are very drool-worthy in material, this is the time where they take a picture of me looking like crap wearing old clothes and shove a big headline on the page saying “Fashion writers are just like us!”. Because that is 200% true. I suppose it comes a long way as I don't really make anything from this blog. So where is all the money from? Honey, it’s called saving and investment purchases. My spending habits have drastically changed from what they used to be. I remember, back in the old days; I used to buy absolutely anything and everything because I could afford them even though I did not necessarily need them. But now, it is rather different. Yes, my wardrobe is still bursting at the seams not because I am an enormous spender who has too much time, money and curiosity in her hands (not completely anyways) but rather; I tend to buy the items which I perceive as truly ‘me’ and well worth the money: Investment pieces I call them, only my father would call it “overspending on something you can easily get for $50”. I have a rule where I only buy 4 trend items each season which I mix and match with other iconic pieces from previous seasons and opt shops in order to create a look which is truly individual. If you’ve never tried it, I really do suggest it. The apparent limitations make it a great game, and now; with last season and bits of vintage and upper market clothing being mixed and matched constantly; I can say that I am officially a great stylist…and purse saver.
