Investment Piece: Moschino Dress and Jacket

I bought this outfit 9 years ago when I first started graduate school. It had a hefty price tag in comparison to my monthly stipend at the moment. But as I put it on, I could not let it go. I started thinking I would not need to eat for the next couple of days and promised myself I would not shop for awhile (that never happens). I also figured the snuggly fitted dress would be my scale, as long as I can fit into this dress I am in the ok weight range. As much as I knew I was lying to myself, I could not let these pieces walk away. They defined my style and I am glad I invested in them. Have a great week ahead and thank you for visiting us.













Jacket and Dress: Moschino (old but crushing on these ones now HERE,HERE, and HERE), Purse: Valentino, Shoes: Miu Miu, Bracelets: Neiman Marcus and Tiffany's, Coat: Amatella.

  5. Definitely great buys! Love it when a piece you buy transcends - especially when that piece cost an arm and a leg! I have a few as well, and you've just reminded me of a BCBG pea coat I brought 7 years ago! I've been looking for a new coat and now realized I do not need it! Ha! Thank you! :)

  9. Lovely outfit, I'm such so terrible at investment pieces I'm a fan of buy something cheap and wearing it to bits in a couple of months (this is how the story goes with shoes far too often)
