I've been thinking about CPW much more since reading this article, it's so interesting to hear other people's tales of their favourite long-wearing pieces. I don't own many 'quality' items, & my favourite cheaper things fall apart so easily, which is upsetting! I'm desperate for a gorgeous handbag (to replace my Hot Topic one) which will do well in the CPW category. Nubby, you star!

For me the CPW is nil. I have no idea what my Mum paid for it but I imagine that the CPW would now be very low. My Sister at one point did say it that I had the jacket for a few years so she should get to have it for a while but my Mum took the view that my sister would wear it a few times then get rid.

About 62 yen per use right now and I predict it will last forever. This is such a great way to evaluate clothes. My friend is a stylist and personal closet cleaner and has started employing this with her clients since sending her the link to this. You are a heavenly maven! My Bree leather satchel:

If you're unsure of an item, it's best to wait. But if you've been thinking about something and can't get it out of your mind, chances are that it's meant to be. Usually the best CPW items are usually timeless, well made classics because since they're so versatile, they get worn the most. Think along the lines of a good pair of black boots, a high quality coat, a nice plain t-shirt, a pair of jeans that fit really well... M.E.: That's great that you've gotten Miu Miu bags for such a steal! jess: I agree with you about getting rid of big purchase that you never use. There's no point in letting amazing things sit around and collect dust and I think that if you make a big purchase, it's good to enjoy it as much as possible and to actually use it! I'm cleaning out some things like beautiful YSL shoes, etc. that just sit in the box to sell and reinvest in things that I can use constantly. It seems like a lot of the comments on CPW here are related to coats! A good coat seems like the way to go! Marla: Sometimes, it’s just a gut reaction. If you’re unsure of an item, it’s best to wait.
