It's all in the details!

The term 'investment piece' is thrown about quite frequently in the fashion world, and not without good reason. When it comes to the consistently necessary pieces in your wardrobe - a great pair of jeans, a stunning party dress, your everyday handbag - you may want to invest a little bit more money in brands like Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Moschino and D&G amongst many, many other designer brands that have lower-priced lines. Keep in mind that these items are not the same for everyone; if you're a bohemian freelance graphic designer living in Kensington Market chances are your choices in this respect are going to be worlds apart from a Bay Street condo-dwelling mutual funds banker, so it is imperative that you take into account your personal wardrobe needs and lifestyle when deciding what you'll get the most value out of.
