Hilary said to think of the "High Low Cocktail" when getting dressed. Mix a high-end item with budget-friendly items for balance.
I've been thinking of that High Low Cocktail recipe. I excel when it comes to bargain shopping, mainly because I find it hard to break down and spend a chunk of change. Although, I've always been a believer in the power of a statement handbag! One quality handbag will last you years, while a low cost handbag will only last you a season. I feel it's best to spend up front and have a durable piece people admire vs. spend $40 every season and have a handbag that breaks after regular wear.
With the above being said, I've had my eye on several "splurge pieces." Here are a couple brands I think are splurge-worthy...
GiGi New York
I'm dying to get my very own monogrammed clutch. They offer so many colors that it is hard to decide which I would like need most.

Loren Hope
Loren Hope pieces are breathtaking! Do you follow Loren on Instagram? I'm captivated by her stylized photos.
Investment: $78 each
Investment: $118

Hunter Boots
I received the "Jade" Hunter Boots as a gift and absolutely love them! They bring me so much happiness. I could totally rock them every day. I'm starting to think I would also appreciate a black pair.
Investment: $140

I've been wanting a Gigi clutch too! Saving my pennies :)
