These 5 items have all been mainstays of my wardrobe for a long time, but always in the faux (i.e. Target) version - and so I found myself replacing them a lot because the fit was a bit off or I was wearing through them so quickly. Thus their status as worth-it for investing - these items just look higher quality, fit better, and last longer than their cheaper counterparts. And I've found with the quality items, when you're careful with your purchases, they also have lasting power in terms of how much you like them, so they've been go-to pieces for a long time and will continue to be. Excellent cost-per-wear ratio (especially because even with "investments," I still wait for a sale or a coupon or a birthday...).
My items and some additional options, in case you want to get on board:
Since my winter capsule is set and thus I don't need any more clothes at the moment, I'm using my partnership with Shopbop over the next couple of months to think about one or two more investment items that will really add to my wardrobe long term, as mentioned earlier. Since two of the things I'm really going for in this capsule are luxe and a little (teeny) bit of edge, to add the twist to my neutrals/basics, I'm eyeing their selections of leather jackets and leather cross-body bags and clutches. The Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade ones get me especially jazzed...
In the meantime, I think the "save up for a few investment items" entry on my 30 before 30 list can officially be crossed off, with the above and my grown up lady handbag from a couple of years ago.
