Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to spend
my money. With Fall season looks coming out this time of year, walking through
the mall and down Newbury Street can be very tempting. Since Newbury Street is
such a short walk from my dorm I often leave my credit card at home when I
decide to go out for a stroll just to avoid any temptations to spend my money.
As a result of these walks and reading blog posts from my
favorite bloggers about fashion trends for Fall and key pieces to have in your
wardrobe I been giving some more thought to where I want to spend my money.
First of all, it is always important to save before you
spend. But once you have saved up it is then time to think about what that
money might go to buy.
I am always very grateful for what I have, but a girl always
has a wish list right?
Instead of spending my money on small, inexpensive items
here and there I have thought a great deal about investment purchases. For
example I have a pair of leather boots and even though I spent a couple hundred
dollars on them, I know they will last me a few seasons and that they were a
good investment. Similarly, I think purses and outwear are items to invest in.
While I know investment purchases like my shoes will be more
costly, in the end I believe it really is worth saving up for these higher
quality items.
Beyond shoes though I have been giving some thought to other
investment pieces and in particular watches. Accessories like a watch can
really tell you something about a person’s personality.
While some watches are more expensive, they are good investment
pieces because you are usually wearing it almost every day.
Here are a few watches that I’ve had my eye on…
