Believe it or not, I do research my work. As a student I hated having to read articles to write a report. This now is a pleasure as well as enlightening. I had to chuckle yesterday when I started my research on just what the basics are and if the “experts” felt the same way I do. My finding was yes we thought the same. Articles of clothing were basic. But lord! The price they thought was good in this era of budget crunches was NOT! Let’s just take a look at what the expert thought.
Every woman needs a LBD (little black dress). This piece of clothing can take you from a casual outing to an after five occasion. You can dress it up with scarves, jewelry, or belts to make a statement. Here the experts quoted a budget price of $425 as a good price. Well rush out and buy me a dozen, LOL. I looked on line and found prices from $39.95 to $295.00.
Next was what most women know we all need, a white blouse. White blouses can be worn with anything from jeans to a silk skirt for evening and a business suite for work. The great fashion heads stated that is should be around $395.00. Oh Please! For between $39.99 to $89.99 you can get a blouse in a wide variety of materials.
Ok we all love cashmere. This soft, luxurious fabric is what dreams are made of! Well dig in your pockets for their approved price of $425.00. Cashmere can last a long time and is a good buy. I found and paid around $100.00 to $125.00 for a two ply sweater which after six years looks as good as new!
