Fashion splurges worth saving for
- Fashion splurges worth saving forBy Kelly MickleWe like a good deal as much as the next girl, but some style splurges can really pay off in the long-term. The key to indulging guilt-free: Choose pieces you can wear now and keep forever. Here, eight women share their best big-time fashion investments.http://static.glo.com/photos/Original/139286_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Louis Vuitton Speedy bag Price: About $875Why it was worth it: I bought it three years ago and have not regretted it once. It's stylish enough to wear for a rare night out and big enough to double as a diaper bag to lug around wipes, matchbox cars, sippy cups and whatever else my kids need daily. —Ahna Childresshttp://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/139288_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Valentino dressPrice: About $800Why it was worth it: I wanted a classy alternative to the standard LBD. The color is bold—without being too much—and the sophisticated silhouette works for weddings, cocktail parties and nights out on the town. I always feel fabulous whenever I wear it! —Blake Boyer Dainshttp://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/139290_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Allsaints Spitalfields leather jacket Price: About $700Why it was worth it: I had to save up to buy it, but it's been worth every penny! A good leather jacket lasts season after season so I know it will be a key piece in my wardrobe for years to come. —Tia Nicolaehttp://static.glo.com/photos/Original/139294_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Frye boots Price: About $500Why they were worth it: I've easily worn these red Frye boots over 500 times since I bought them. I can wear them with tights, a dress or skinny jeans—and they've traveled to Amsterdam, New York and France and still look brand new! —Lindsey Johnsonhttp://static.glo.com/photos/Original/139292_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Yves Saint Laurent skirtPrice: About $300 (marked down from $1200)Why it was worth it: My best splurge piece is this black leather asymmetrical Yves Saint Laurent skirt. I love it for its versatility; it's just edgy enough for the office and sexy enough for the evening. —Sharon Yanghttp://static.glo.com/photos/Original/139293_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Sacco bootsPrice: About $300Why they were worth it: Roughly eight years ago I bought these butter-soft-leather kitten-heel boots at Sacco in New York City. They were a big splurge for me, but worth every cent. While I've reheeled them many times, they have held up incredibly well. I still wear them regularly—and receive compliments nearly every time! —Laura Vogelhttp://static2.glo.com/photos/Original/139291_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Jennifer Fisher necklacePrice: About $3,000Why it was worth it: I got this sentimental diamond-and-gold necklace after the birth of my daughter. In addition to being a timeless piece of jewelry—I can wear it with workout clothes or a cocktail dress—it's engraved with my daughter's initials and symbolizes my love for her. I never leave home without it! —Alex Bowserhttp://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/139287_Original.jpg
- Fashion splurges worth saving forThe splurge: Michael Kors camel coatPrice: About $600Why it was worth it: I first saw this coat at Bloomies, but at $600 I decided it was too expensive. Four days later, it was still on my mind so I went back to get it—but it was gone! I somehow managed to find it two years later and finally bought it. Note to self: If you can’t stop thinking about it, it's worth the splurge! Best. Purchase. Ever. —Andie HuberNEXT ON GLO: 12 Tips For A Stylish Pregnancyhttp://static1.glo.com/photos/Original/139289_Original.jpg
