Hey lovelies! I’m all tangled up in blue! Lol. I must say blue is my colour and I just love wearing it. This is one of my favourite casual outfits to wear to work on dress down Friday’s. This cardi sweater I am wearing is over 5 years old and I still love it. It’s so complimentary and it pairs nicely with dark denim or white pants. I usually throw this sweater over a strapless denim dress for an instant casual outfit. It is so nice and light to wear for spring or autumn weather.
These denim wedges I am wearing are so old – I’ve had these since I was in my early 20’s and they are still in good condition! I almost got rid of them but I didn’t because my mom told me to keep them because they may come back in style and she’s right – they did come back in style! Thank goodness I have these as they pair so well with my denim and blue outfits.
I’ve had people wonder how do I keep stuff for so long and it still looks new? I always take good care of my clothes – hang them up after wearing them, hand wash certain items and as for shoes I am careful with walking by not being rough with them. I don’t wear the same shoes everyday or use the same purse everyday because if you use them over and over again you are over using it and it will start to look worn out and beat up. It is good to have a variety of bags and shoes so you can wear something different everyday that will last a long time as long you are not rough with them. I usually keep all my shoes and boots in a box. Also my bags, I keep some in a dust bag and put it away in a bag closet with shelves.
Are any of you ladies like me? Do you keep your items for a long time until they come back in style?
Let me know your thoughts! Love always xo
