Investment Dressing: Does It Exist?

I'm thinking about investment dressing and I'm wondering how you know that what you're buying really is a classic? And aren't classics often dull?

And how do you know you'll still like something in the future? A friend of mine just bought a VERY pricey dress and she told me she justified her purchase because she intends to keep wearing it when she's 70 - 30 years away!!!

No matter how much a piece of clothing cost or how much I loved it originally... friends, I get bored. The classic, expensive Kate Slyvester skirt I saved up for (even though it was on sale) I recycled a couple of years later, hardly worn.

The soft, black Italian leather jacket... suddenly, I didn't like the way the lapels sat - so out it went!

Perhaps that's why I love stores like MUFF. I know that when I do make an investment, if I go off it, I can still get a happy return!
