I love your quote that dupes are made for testing!! First off, even when I buy a dupe I never feel satisfied. I still want the real one because a dupe doesn’t quite scratch the itch. Second, I bought a dupe if a very expensive handbag that I was lusting over. Turns out, I didn’t love the shape. Now I know not to keep lusting over the real one because the dupe was a $100 test that was successful in that I knew I didn’t want the real one anymore!
I love this for you! Yes, using dupes as a way to test new styles as your personal style evolves is key. I agree with you, if something is truly "me," investing in the quality item is usually the best longterm and financial play to ensure a strong cost per wear.
Yes! Cost per wear is sometimes less with the nicer items because you actually wear them! I’ve worn my Prada nylon purse for over 7 years with small kids. That cost per wear is now effectively negative :)
And I booked a consult with you for Monday since I’m in Chicago and am excited to chat with you live!
hi what are some natural fibers to look out for, and any thoughts on fabrics that don’t wrinkle easily 🤗thank you for all this, always helpful and makes a great difference💗💗💗
Great question! The most common would be cotton, linen, silk, wool -- we are seeing lots of synthetics mixed in so if you can't find all natural options opt for items that are majority natural fibers. As we enter fall/winter cashmere and mohair are great sweater options!
