Now that I've been working from home for a year and a half, I find myself buying a whole lot less as far as clothes and shoes go. With a whole closet full of business attire and 4 inch pumps, just awaiting the day when I might need to look professional, I've become a lot more picky about what I'm spending my money on.
So lately, I've only been stocking up on a few essentials every season, and I've been leaning toward spending a little more on quality items that will last, rather than going for quantity like I used to. Last fall I purchased three new pairs of boots, a bomber jacket and an Anthropologie coat, all of which are still in great condition. But there have been a couple of new fall items I've splurged on lately.
First up, slippers. I gotta have them. In the cooler months, as soon as I get out of bed or come home, slippers are on my feet. Otherwise my feet are freezing. But I always seem to buy really cheap slippers from Target, and they only last a month or two before the bottoms have holes in them. So this year I spent some time actually shopping around. Let me tell you, it is actually really hard to find slippers that are both cute and won't wear through on the bottoms in a matter of weeks (sorry, not an Ugs fan!). But I finally found some cute ones. They look like ballet flats, but are so soft and fluffy on the inside!
I ordered two pairs, and hopefully with the more rugged bottoms of the soles, they will last me at least through the winter, if not longer. I definitely think these were worth spending a little more than I would at Target, for something that will hold up over time. Or at least hold up longer than a month!
