25 Pretty Designer Items I'll Still Want to Wear in 10 Years
I'm a big proponent of making fewer but better purchases, and I take designer shopping very seriously (as one should when spending a significant amount of money). Whenever I'm considering something, the most important question I ask myself is if the item is something I'll want to wear years later. If the answer is no, I usually won't buy it and will try my best to expel it from my mind.
Currently, most of the designer items on my mind are best classified as "pretty," and they're just too good not to share with the internet. In addition to being pleasing to the eye, they also have a timeless quality, ensuring you'll still want to wear them for years to come.
