Fashion doesn't always have to be reasonable with your wallet. It doesn't mean splurging either. You just have embrace certain looks that can enhance your beauty. Yes, Moms out there! I'm talking about being beautiful and feeling good.


Whether its the big trend of the season or a classic look used often by stylists on a regular basis - developing your signature look means investing on a few good pieces. Sure you might never invest in a piece by Chanel, for reasons like you don't want to deep into your son's college fund.

Though the idea that you likely might not ever own a glamorous piece of haute couture, you can't say the same about the future. Prices soar, prices drop, seasons change, fashion moves forward - and people will part with something Pre-owned yet expensive in exchange for something new. That's the takeaway here! And that's what you need to look out for when bargain shopping for elegant things. You need to keep an eye out for luxury designer pieces.


So what's the first thing to invest on?

A statement piece, of course, like a luxury handbag which in social settings, the mere sight of it often sparks conversation and heads turning in envy. And that question, they would be dying to ask is - how did you afford find that bag?

Well, you can either come out with the truth as a sharp online shopper. Or just simply say it was a gift of love.

The Handbag Milieu
A luxury designer handbag can help you ricochet your style between casual and glamorous. There are leather bags that are not exactly laid back no matter how casual your dress style is. Be mindful of structured bags - the box types - that come off like "all business and no fun!"

Plus consider the colors they come in. You don't want to come off too matchy-matchy or color-blocked just because a handbag comes in a muted color or a very commanding canvas pattern. 

There are designer handbags that are a combination both business and feel-good playfulness. The timeless ones usually have a slouched center or all winged-out at the sides.

But to complete an overall look that spells perfection, requires a lot of patience. You can either go pretty safe and chic with an all black ensemble paired with a showpiece bag. Or the reverse, go with a classic luxury handbag while rocking loud prints.




Add-ons to your style:

• Hair Must Do's! A mussed-up topknot if you're laid back, but for work you can go for a neat chignon.
• Accesorize with big architectural-type jewelry or minimalist pearls

• Wear a watch. A regal one, not a swatch. For a good find try Pre Owned Designer Authentic Watches, they are well worth it! They are collectibles as well. 
• Get a decent phone case. No not those candy colored rubbery mobile cases, but the sleek leather type that's says "I'm the adult here! I'm in control!"
