What kind of clothes to choose - expensive or cheap?

"Do not chase you to pop, for cheapness" (c)

Pushkin, of course, our all. And even if we consider that he Alexander did not differ, frankly, a reasonable attitude to money, and vice versa - to spend it on a game of cards, expensive champagne, oysters and Roma - is still his advice, invested in the mouth worker Balda of the same name tales should not be discounted.

What I mean?

It's simple. If you face a choice of what to buy - one expensive cashmere sweater in the drain or three blouses with polyester in the mass marketnom store immediately after posted a new collection, and you do more than 15 years (no matter how much) - the choice seems obvious.

Why is that?

Simply because that ugly (to confess) blouses nevoobrazimnogo "seasonal" colors in a couple of months will inevitably fall in price by half, and the end of the season, when around them will not soar veil novelty - and two-thirds of the original price, and:

  a) the new price would be three times, if not more, higher cost synthetic fast fashion-junk
b) this stuff, and with 70% discount does not snap up, because the young ladies have all snapped up early in the season, and reasonable ladies do not need it.

As for the cashmere sweater - with proper care and general vnemodnosti (classic tailoring and discreet color) this thing will last you for years, and even if you do not become the most prominent and beloved accessory to your wardrobe, again and again you will gain - in the office, business meeting or even an interview. Good HR is always able to assess the decent clothes - even if it is not bought yesterday. If the applicant has a taste of the wisdom he can not refuse.

And in the end all this poetry - practical advice.

Do not be afraid of the high cost of a decent brand: a couple of seasons of classics cheaper, but do not go out of fashion, as such, is outside. I recently ran into a new boskovsky runoff Vetoshny alley. My best friend is disgusted by his nose, arguing that there is still everything is expensive and did not pick up - too many things on hangers. And I found a half an hour to dig in these dense racks hung with things, and in the far corner, where the inscription 80%. Fished out a pair of jeans, a pair of white summer trousers, a pair of linen breeches for my sister and a couple of velvet classic pants with arrows for her mother (Brands Max & Co and Marina Rinaldi, the original price - US $ one hundred, two hundred for a couple), I found out at the box office, that the waiting time for women customers, that is me, all these pants, no losing in quality, were worth ... you would not believe ... 1000 rubles.

For all four pairs !!!

I was very pleased. What, in fact, you wish for.
