New Year, New Challenge : What to Wear
January 12, 2016, by Deena @Shoes to Shiraz
Today, I am sharing a few of my shopping tips. In starting the new year, my plan for shopping involves these FOUR guidelines.
1. Buy wardrobe STAPLES.
I am trying to shop more for quality, staple pieces that I will wear for several years. One of my favorite wardrobe staples is my leather moto jacket. I have owned if for a few years, and I wear it year-round. In the spring, I layer it over short sleeve tees, and the winter I layer a fur vest or blanket scarf over it for extra warmth.

2. Buy items that I can MIX & MATCH.
I try to buy items that I can mix and match with other items in my closet - so that I get the most wear out of them. My grey jeans are probably one of my most versatile jeans. I recently shared in this post how to wear grey jeans 5 different ways.
3. Invest in QUALITY Pieces.
I like to buy designer jeans. To me, they are an investment that I will have for many years. They are a splurge; but when it comes to buying designer jeans, I do not pay full price. I shop around, and I only buy them when they are on sale. Two of my favorite places to buy designer jeans for under $100 are Saks Off Fifth and Last Call Neiman Marcus.

4. Add a POP of color.
I believe that adding a pop of color, like red to any looks makes a statement and makes any look stand-out. If you do not like red, you can always opt for orange or yellow, or even a blue or green.
