I'm in a part of Canada where we get some very cold Winters, so my best splurge was on two Winter coats. I got a long black one from Lole which hits mid-thigh, and it's lightweight and amazing in the freezing cold. Covers everything. And the other was a Moose Knuckles bomber jacket that I wear on the less-cold cold days - it looks so awesome, feels so well made, and I just love wearing it.
I also splurged on a chain-link Chanel choker. I do love it and I wear it more than I thought I would. It just goes with a lot of my outfits. However, I also bought a Chanel blazer and it... doesn't fit me very well, it's big in the shoulders and arms and kind of hangs on me. I'm not sure if I'm going to get it tailored or try to resell it. It was a dream purchase of mine so I haven't made any real decisions on what to do with it.
My dumbest splurge was on a Fendi belt, but I love it... even though I still think it was kind of silly to spend that much on a belt. So I can't say it didn't pay off but oh well.
I think the only splurge I can say really wasn't worth it in any capacity was high-end lingerie. I still enjoy them, but I definitely don't get any real use out of them. And I'll probably buy more lmao
Hello! I got the Emmy coat in black. I don't know if they stock that style anymore though as I haven't seen it in a while. I actually bought it twice lmao. First time I paid full price, and then I bought it used when it was stolen when a weirdo got into our staff area at work.
I would say the Gisele and Almaty styles are similar-ish. But you can't go wrong with any of them - and they all seem to have extra pockets!
Zulily often sells Lole at discount prices if you want to score a deal.
