So when you need to go out for a special occasion, instead of wasting money on a mediocre dress that you will probably never wear again, rent an AWESOME dress that you return but look amazing in for the whole night. Most dresses run at arond $50 and they have all sizes.. they even offer you a second size incase it doesn't fit. I didnt check out ALL of the designers that they carry, but they update all of the time to keep up with the hottest fashion. Anyways.. its invite only and I just got my invite, but that now gives me 6 MORE people to invite. I dont really know many others who would use this, so let me know if you want it.

I'd never spend money on something "basic" like a tank top or a a plain shirt, i only like clothes that are cut in an interesting way, are made of a good quality/interesting fabric and that i defiantly couldn't make myself Having said that, Your post has got me pondering my style essentials all week! I dont think i have any! I have lots of nice shoes. Very nice shoes. But to be honest i lock them away for special occasions. MOstly ive been wearing my sisters doc martines that a size too big, I dont like them that much but there just for getting to places. I have a few pieces of a topshop Rare and Prestige collection from a last year i really love and was quite expensive to me. But im happy i got thouse things because its the only few bits of clothes i actully like. I have realised alot of my clothes are just hand me downs. or things i borrow, or old house clothes. There is nothing i wear regularly. Mabye i should work on this, i used to love dressing up. but i can see ive let it slip. Yeah, i try to do the same, only buy what i love.

Always so cute and funky and layered!

I say buy only what you truly love, no matter how much or little it costs! Caroline Royce: Sounds like you are super practical; a girl after my own heart! queengilda; I LOVE your style!

I love cataloguing my most prized articles. Whether it be regular stuffs or my clothes. I have a plain white watch I got from Target for $12. It's really minimal and modern, with a skinny band. I get complimented on it more than anything else. I have a black American Apparel hoodie I got two years ago and I wear it just about every day. I don't own white socks, only colorful and patterned ones. Can't do without 'em. Can't go a day without wearing black stud earrings. I have a cool vintage 60's satchel-purse I got for A BUCK at a sidewalk sale. It's in perfect condition and I love all things 60's so it was a perfect match. And my black jeans. I feel like I need more variety in my pant selection, but you can never go wrong with black skinny jeans. Oh, lovely. I love cataloguing my most prized articles.

I also have a large neutral leather messenger bag I gifted myself a couple years ago. I've always been the type of girl to carry stuff "just in case" from sketchbook and pens to a my digital camera and its associated cables. Its an upgrade to the messenger bag I'd been using since highschool. It can be dressed up professionally, or down for a bike ride around the city. Hell, I think its going to outlast me!
