One of my favorite lines we carried this past fall was Sublet. All organic, bamboo blends, friendly designers even – and for me, extremely easy to wear. I own 3 pieces from the line and they’re always in my laundry basket (I’m wearing one now as I type this). But, we don’t have any on order for this spring. So, I’d like to use my blog post to begin an investigation. Today’s topic: Price! Whereas $125 was a price I had no problem with on a little cardigan since I immediately had a ton of ideas on how to wear it, a lot of our customers got a little more excited when it started to scoot up to our clearance rack. I was a little sad, since I loved it so much I assumed everyone else would immediately love it too!
So, the question I’d like to pose is this: what is it about a piece of clothing that excites you the most and gets you to splurge?
For me, it’s fit and flexibility. I feel awkward in a lot of clothing – so if it fits me well, looks great, AND I feel good, I should seriously consider it. This rule always applies to jeans. If I can immediately think of multiple items in my closet off the top of my head that I can wear it with, I’m sold. That being said, if I saw a top like that somewhere for $198, I would have passed no matter how much I loved it.
What do you think – I’d love some input!
(and speaking of inexpensive and Sublet, we’ve got a few of their Alex tees left in our sale section, only $29.99.)
