My 58-Year-Old Aunt Buys Whatever I Tell Her—30 Items I Want Her to Splurge On
My aunt and I bond over many things, but somehow, our conversations always come back to shopping. My aunt's wardrobe stood out to me even at a young age, and now that I am almost 30, I am often surprised by how similar our styles have become. Naturally, we're always sending each other our most recent or pending purchases. Tack on the fact that it's basically my job to shop for a living and you can guarantee that, between the both of us, it can feel like we've seen it all.
Because of this, when I send my stylish aunt something I deem noteworthy, she usually listens. Without exploiting her too much, she also has a higher spending budget than I do, which makes her lifestyle much more fun to shop for than mine. Ahead, I took the time to curate a list of the best luxury shopping finds that I am saying are 100% worth the splurge. From designer handbags to current It items, this list is filled with everything a shopping fiend would love, and I'll be sure to keep you posted on which items she actually buys.
This dress is stunning.
I can already imagine her styling this in so many ways.
No one loves fine jewelry more than my aunt.
Paired with a white T-shirt, this skirt couldn't be more practical.
Thanks to my co-worker who owns this bag, I can't stop talking about it.
If you're going to splurge on a sweater, make it this one.
There are no better leather pants, period.
This tiny ring is a huge conversation starter.
This is one of the prettiest dresses I've seen in a while.
If you're in the mood to splurge, I would suggest doing it on this.
