Would you rather invest, say, $1000 into good quality t-shirts, dresses, and jeans of the James Perse, Sevens, and Ella Moss variety...
OR
... spent that entire amount on one big statement piece... like a Marni top or a Temperly dress? And slowly fill up your wardrobe that way?
I took a long hard look at my closet and discovered that it was bursting with basics - and though I've gotten a lot of use out of the endless rotation of multi-matching outfits, I do wish I had one big standout, go-to piece. But I don't know if I can give up a year of buying basics to do that.
Any thoughts?
