2 Girls 1 Top

I LOVE multifunctional clothing.  I found this little ditty from H&M and the possibilities of ways to wear it are endless.....


LOOK #1:
blouse: H&M
dress: Urban Outfitters
tights: Pacific Mall
boots: Urban Outfitters
watch: Fossil

LOOK #2:

blouse: H&M
pants: American Apparel
boots: Miss Sixty
watch: Guess
necklace: Ardene


...the fact that it was only $40 makes it even more delicious.

Of course/Unfortunalty, not every piece of clothing we buy can be such a steal.  Heres how to figure out if something is truly worth purchasing.  Commit this shit to memory:

FierceWithAHighWaist's Fashion E-Clothes-Sion:

PRICE / COMFORT NUMBER = TOTAL USE GOAL

PRICE: Determine the price of your item.

COMFORT NUMBER: Your "Comfort Number" is a dollar amount you feel comfotable spending on clothing/shoes/accessories on a daily/regular basis.  Your number will depend on how important fashion/shopping is to you, combined with your budget/income & lifestyle.  Everyones number will be different based on these factors.  My "comfort Number" is $10 - even tho I am obsessed with shopping & fashion, Imma cheap bitch so that number works for me.

TOTAL USE GOAL: the number of times you willl need to wear your purchase to make it worthwhile.


Heres an example of the Fashion E-Clothes-Sion for the H&M blouse Im wearing in the above photos:

ITEM COST: $40.00
COMFORT NUMBER: $10.00
ITEM COST / COMFORT NUMBER = TOTAL USE GOAL
therefore, TOTAL USE GOAL = 4
This means ideally I will have to wear this blouse 4 times for it to be a worthwhile purchase in my books.


If I want to indulge in something a bit more expensive, like lets say a pair of J-Brand wide-leg flares, the Fashion E-Clothes-Sion would work like this:

ITEM COST: $300
COMFORT NUMBER: $10
TOTAL USE GOAL: 30
Meaning ideally, I will have to wear my new jeans 30 times for them to be worth the money spent.  Thats A LOT of wide-leg.


Im pretty much the Einstein of fashion.  E=MC HIGH-WAIST.
