Living where I do I need a good pair of water/weatherproof winter boots. And even then I wait to find them on sale wicked cheap on sites like 6pm.com. And a good winter coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-278021 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:10:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 278021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say Makeup. But I haven't bought anything new in over two years. I never spend much on pants (jeans included) because my legs rub that it actually ruins all my pants. </p> <p>So I'd say boots. But I rarely spend money simply because I don't have money to spend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-278014 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:06:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 278014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purses, jeans, &amp; bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-278009 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:04:10 +0000 emcoco 278009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bras, skincare, makeup, jeans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277979 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:53:50 +0000 BananaPancakes 277979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just about everything. I am am a firm believer in quality over quantity. I'll save for months to buy something of good quality rather than buy something now that I know will fall apart. But I also don't dress trendy, and am sometimes jealous of those ladies who are. I wear the same Mikimoto pearls every day and the same Rolex watch. I wear the same shoes and boots, designer jeans and purses over and over. When I see a girl who accessorizes really well, even though it might be stuff from Target, I wish I would let myself buy those kinds of things. I might have classic items that I can wear for years, but I feel so much less exciting than those people who switch it up more often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277470 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 00:35:52 +0000 looch 277470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A coat is a must for me, plus a high quality leather bag. I use them for many seasons, updating the gloves/hat/scarf so they always look fresh.</p> <p>I also invest in jewelry. I have some disposable pieces, but most of my stuff is designer. Nothing elevates an outfit like a well chosen, tasteful piece of jewelry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277447 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:52:37 +0000 HLK208 277447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Purses, jeans, sunglasses and make-up!

Everything else is super cheap. I'm pretty sad cause my collection of jeans is around 10 years old now and need replacing soon and I'm a lot more cautious of cost now that we have a house and lots of expenses vs 10 years ago when I was living with my parents and just saving a ton so it was easy to spend $150+/pair. Luckily I amassed a good enough collection of bags though and don't see a need to buy any for a LONG time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277271 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:25:37 +0000 MsMini 277271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwear and accessories (shoes, purses etc). Underwear because I have a huge chest, so I need well built quality bras and those cost $$$. Accessories because I find that the higher end brands are more comfortable and hold up better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277213 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:06:23 +0000 Meridian 277213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sad, I don't invest in much really. I'm a sale shopper all the way! I do love purses, and I have an LV and Gucci which were both gifted. So I don't really get new ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277205 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:02:47 +0000 pinkcupcake 277205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will splurge on bags and wallets and suits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277191 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:56:03 +0000 Running Elley 277191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Boots and shoulder bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277160 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:45:11 +0000 Smurfette 277160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277144 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:38:50 +0000 mrs. bird 277144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bags, jeans, shoes I'll wear regularly (like all day shoes, not date night shoes) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277131 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:33:55 +0000 chopsuey 277131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much everything (clothes, shoes, bags..)! I'm a firm believer of quality.

But technically I don't pay for them.... my dad does because hes a foot doctor so he can get me good orthodox shoes. But now that ive started ill never go back, they're so comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277124 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:30:57 +0000 prettylizy 277124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bags and shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277117 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:27:08 +0000 twinmama 277117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: my favorites are from j.jill and LLBean Signature.

Jeans, boots, a favorite sweater, a nice watch (I got a lovely Bulova for my birthday a few years ago--i wear a watch every single day), classic jewelry, a stellar cocktail dress that works for a nice dinner out, a solid purse, bras...I just kinda like nice things in general, so I buy fewer items overall. As long as it doesn't just sit in my closet, it's OK by me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277077 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:12:25 +0000 photojane 277077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nothing! haha... i'm SO cheap. i shop target, old navy, or new york and company for just about everything i wear (pre-preg, that is). even then, i usually only buy things on sale. hubs thinks i'm ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277067 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:09:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 277067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: what are you favorite brands? I love cardigans. I have one I got from Ann Taylor and I go back every year hoping they sell them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277065 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:08:28 +0000 twinmama 277065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cardigans are my weakness. I wear one every day though, so its worth splurging on some nice ones.</p> <p>And a few jewelry basics...awesome hoops and diamond studs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277064 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:08:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 277064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A great pair if jeans is worth it, and I agree with the shoes- not trendy ones but a nice pair of boots and stuff. I have one Cole haan bag that I love too. Otherwise I'm pretty cheap. But really none are what I would call investments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-invest-in-retail-wise#post-277058 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:04:41 +0000 DillonLion 277058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work wardrobe.
