After my mom passed away and I was left to deal with the household, I was amazed at the many "classic" pieces she was still wearing years after purchase. Because of the care she took with them, they looked amazing. I know some she purchased in the 60's and 70's and they were still current today. So buying something that may cost a little more yet you might get 30+ years wear out of it? Go for the best. And yes, I've walked away from LBD's I wish I hadn't!LBDDiarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095130599361379113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-18305112682382667282013-01-20T17:20:30.853-05:002013-01-20T17:20:30.853-05:00Oh yes Celia, I have had that feeling of regret; t...Oh yes Celia, I have had that feeling of regret; thinking I could not justify the cost!<br />Or I think there has to be something in my closet that will work!<br /><br />xoxo<br />Karena<br />2013 Artists SeriesKarenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206642885608991170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-12769661850185778822013-01-20T07:40:29.189-05:002013-01-20T07:40:29.189-05:00Celia, I cringe when you hit the nail on the head ...Celia, I cringe when you hit the nail on the head for something I've done. Yup, 2 dresses hanging in my closet with regrets for not paying the big bucks for a dress that looked and fitted amazing. Funny, I was just thinking about this recently as I still struggle to lose those pounds I want to, with no luck. <br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-22952897928571095352013-01-19T23:51:08.532-05:002013-01-19T23:51:08.532-05:00Oh my, that's too bad her dress was gone!I alw...Oh my, that's too bad her dress was gone!I always consider my wardrobe an investment and try to buy unique and timeless pieces, which I can wear for years to come. When you find the perfect dress...a girl just has to splurge and get it while it's there. <br />xoxo.<br />MaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184234275428944375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-30114963197272522532013-01-19T23:42:19.816-05:002013-01-19T23:42:19.816-05:00Dearest Celia,

BUT, we all have a similar story like that; either for a dress, a pair of shoes, boots or a purse... You are so right about that love at first sight. That means you should grab it and go as those 'darlings' will be worn and used.<br />Fun post, love this kind of decision making!<br />Hugs to you and hope you had a great Birthday.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-56339727405063949512013-01-19T22:58:52.594-05:002013-01-19T22:58:52.594-05:00Love #4!
