What are some of your NO regret pieces?

[@wlammy3171]

I felt a back pack was too dorky or child like for me (am 35 yrs old) but after getting one anyway (ochre yellow Fjallraven), I use it so often!! Ochre goes with all my black and grey and brown jackets too, and the cost per wear is now down to 1,40 from the 85 bucks it cost haha

Yes! 💯!!

[@catherinecampbell1215]

That is so true. I bought Ilse Jacobson boots and I almost returned them because of the price. When I decided to keep them, I realized that they are such good boots not only for rain but also for snow as well. Quality is far better than quantity.

Yass to the power of waiting for 'perfect' piece!

[@susany.466]

Agreed, because sometimes a sale makes us buy something less than perfect, which ends up not being such a deal after all.

That is exactly the same with me. I thought i was the only one who doesn’t mind paying full price if i love the item!

[@clairehewitt3381]

My biggest purchase regrets are a leather jacket, a wool blazer and some pricey plain white t shirts...

My cashmere sweaters. They were more expensive than what I normally spend on clothes but they provide so much warmth that they were totally worth it to me. No need for bulky, uncomfortable sweaters anymore, and I even think that I'm saving on heating on the house since I bought them.

I live full-time from a campervan with my husband. We took early retirement to explore, but life does call us back to our family-centric home-bases in New England around the holidays. As you might imagine, I don’t have need of or space for dressy boots, any shiny, sparkly, velvety, holiday garb or bulky sweaters or sweater-dresses in the van…but I don’t regret having kept some fave pieces for our New England winter holiday times. I store them carefully with family. They are high quality, timeless, pieces that drape beautifully, and I think, look great on me! I smile every year when I lift them up into the light of day for another time of gathering and celebrating.

I have clothes that i keep 15-20 years. From resonable price. Testing brands that suit the budget, the quality and style will need time. But as you find what suit you and what best for you. You will be happy and enjoy per wear with your closet. And take care each piece, its a tresure and it will last long. And just add some extra accessories either bag, shoes and jewels that will brighten up your day and have fun.❤❤

[@salenarichardson2766]

Running shoes! Running shoe models change slightly with every new release. I absolutely love a version of Altra from a couple of years ago, so I just purchased 4 (yes 4) pairs on Amazon so I can keep enjoying this specific fit. I do not regret this at all even though I’m typically a very minimal shopper. I’m actually quite pleased with myself, lol.

Number 8 is so true ! I have a list of vintage designer pieces and have been slowly crossing things off the list (JPG bondage shirt was my recent purchase and im so excited!)
I like spending my money on clothes. i like wearing special pieces that take me a lot of time and effort to find, especially since I make a budget for these pieces, and its a conversation starter because i learn the pieces history and info. For me, its no different from other hobbies and i hate how (mostly) women are shamed to think clothes are a useless purchase

One of the things I never regret buying is items with sentimental value! I have a beret I bought on a trip to the local haunted house, and a necklace that was bought with my mom, and several pieces of jewelry from my first trip out of the country, and so much more. And every time I wear them, I'm reminded of our adventures together, and how much they mean to me!
Another thing I never regret is supporting small businesses! Even if I don't keep the item forever, I'm happy to have put my money there, and they're often the most unique, funky pieces in my wardrobe.

[@katiedolan14]

yes! I have been drawn to the Jcrew cocoon coat for 7 years and found one used for only $50 this fall. I feel so much more put together and automatically stylish when I wear it over anything.

[@madisonostermann]

It’s clear you put a lot of thought into this list, and thank you! I’m planning on doing a 2024 low buy where I invest in very few but high quality pieces and this helped inform what I might consider purchasing!

My best buy for the Scottish weather is a sturdy trench coat with a hood.

[@amandal9]

That tiny bag 🤣

[@Christinamychas]

I know right? 😂

[@dianapopova6499]

The best purchases I not only not regretting, but happy that I bought them:
1. Glasses/sunglasses with all the bells and whistles. Bought some years ago for $1200. Gucci frame - $400, the rest are lenses. Prescription by a very good doctor. Transformers, astigmatic, anti-reflective, done exactly for my eyes. Wear them every day, all the time, in any weather. Pay per wear is minimal.
2. Leather maxi coat, black. Bought in my teens (the very first expensive piece of clothing) for $1000. Cannot wear in the summer or when the temperature is below zero, but perfect for spring/fall. Love it. Feel beautiful and stylish in it.
3. Ultra-light down jacket with a hood. Bought 5 years ago in Tokio, on Ginza, in UNIQLO flagship for about $80 (paid in yen, do not remember how much exactly). Was a limited edition (seasonal) - beautiful rich darker green color. Never saw this color again in UNIQLO. Wear it so much, it is not even funny. Any season.
On the other hand, there are purchases I rather regret.
1. Expensive fine jewelry. I almost never wear them, they live in the safe. So, I paid thousands for emeralds (my favourite stone) and diamonds, and do not wear them. 😞 I wear costume jewelry, and I do not care that it is easily tarnished - I simply buy new. They cost around $10 apiece, and if I wear a new one for a couple of months, the cost per wear is in the cents.
2. Blasers/ formal jackets. I do not really like them, so they live in the closet. I wore each a handful of times. :-(

[@rosej9686]

[@alexviolett]

after I figured out my Kibbe type, no item I purchased since then I ended up regretting;) I think what helps avoiding unnecessary purchases that are not functional within your wardrobe is making a list of things you like, planning how you can combine them with items that already exist in your wardrobe, finding several versions of the piece you want to buy and then sitting on them for several months before actually purchasing the sought-after article of clothing.

[@veryverte]

It's mesh blouses for me 😊 they don't wrinkle, they dry fast, you can wear them on hot summer days (if opaque enough) and also as a 2nd layer on colder days, they fit with formal and smart casual ❤

I've got a bone spur and arthritis in one of my feet so I have to be careful about footwear. I wear Chacos spring, summer, and early fall. I like the ones with the double strap and no toe loop. I'm on my third pair in about 15 years, so they last me a long time too, even with daily wear.
For colder temps I have a pair of Aline ankle boots from Cloud Footwear. They are soft, waterproofed leather with wool lining, with flexible, but somehow still supportive soles, so my feet are warm and dry and comfy all day.
Both pairs of shoes can go with just about any outfit, from jeans to leggings to a cute dress or skirt.

[@ros8986]

regarding shopping - every purchase is an experiment. I shop carefully because I know from experience that there are many aspects to a future purchase that matter - price (is this particular listing the best price) - quality (is this item the best quality - materials, construction) - fit (is this item the best fit for my life) - benefit (will my life benefit from having this item) - need (have I noticed a repeated need in my life for this item ) - and finally is the cost worth the experiment. No matter how meticulously I shop, I know from experience every purchase is an experiment. So when things don't work out, I pass them on so they can benefit someone else. In that way almost none of my purchases is a mistake. I just met a new neighbor to whom I can pass on grocery purchases which is wonderful (things I am jsut not going to have time to cook).

Mind you, I spend a lot of money on these things I.e.

I don’t mind spending $200 on a very high quality sweater that I will wear forever. Or highly quality, practical shoes. I feel good when I buy a luxurious piece of clothing that I invest my money in, because I know that it will last and I will cherish it.
