Cost per wear

To make the most out of your wardrobe you need to make sure you buy things you love and that are versatile. Too often we buy items that don't match with what we already have and end up sitting in the wardrobe, for the most part, unused. If you think carefully about your purchases you can certainly justify buying more expensive, quality items. Think about it like this - if you buy a bag for £250 but use it 3 times a week for a year then it has cost you only £1.60 per wear. A decent bag will last way beyond a year too. On the other hand, buy a bag for £25 that you don't love so much then you may use it just ten times over the course of a year, making it more costly at £2.50 per wear. Ashlee Simpson shows us how it's done. Over the past few weeks she has been dedicated to her black BCBG handbag and grey Eugenia Kim hat. Granted, Ashlee probably got both items free but you get the picture. Think about this next time you go shopping and make your wardrobe work harder for you!
