If you’re anything like me you’re looking to get the absolute most from every fashion dollar in order to justify what is fundamentally a splurge. I have certain pieces that every time I wear them I calculate what it cost per wear. Don’t try that with your wedding dress by the way... or bridesmaids dresses. Love and friendship don’t have a dollar (or pound or yen) value. Remind yourself of that as you wear lavender taffeta.
Ok, I feel I’ve gotten off topic now. Obviously when looking at renting a piece you want to make sure you get the most bag bang for your buck. You’ve decided to get a bag for a week or a month or a season and you want to use it every single day until you feel like you’re making money on the rental. The following are my suggestions for “Go With Everything “ pieces that are under $50 a week.
First up are big, black, and shiny that will take you to work and all about town:
If you want something on your arm that everyone is going to recognise as special but that you can wear whether dressing up or down it would have to be the iconic Louis Vuitton Monogram Neverfull MM.
Metallics are going to be big for Fall and I love that this Julia Op Art Perry from Coach will work whether you’re going with gold or silver.
But my number one choice for go-to bag is Michael Kors’ Gansevoort Large Leather Tote. You might think I’m crazy but I think that colour can go with pretty much everything from jeans to summer dresses to business suits. I should know, the month I had it I took it to work, the movies, the mall, Cirque du Soleil, out to dinner, everywhere.
So what’s your everyday choice?
