Although it’s easy to make a habit of shopping based on ‘what’s in’, this isn’t always a good idea.
Buying according to trends can incur debts pretty quickly and just because a piece is fashion forward doesn’t mean it will suit all body shapes.
Investment pieces in contrast, actually stand the test of time.
Each week we aim to introduce a new piece for your wardrobe and provide three options from where to buy, catering for all budgets.
Save – €33 at River Island
This is a gem. Only €33, but the colour ensures it stands out from the crowd, the leather look strap is the type that goes with everything and an oversized face adds a luxe touch. You really can’t go wrong with this piece, we love it.
Steal – £65 (€80), Olivia Burton at Topshop
Goregous gold and a pretty hummingbird, this is an enchanting timepiece. Guaranteed to be the talking point of any outfit, the design is whimsical, and ideal if you want something a little different. The thin gold strap and face make this an elegant and ladylike accessory, yes please.
Save – €169 at jewellers nationwide and Ansley Watches
If you’re on the hunt for a classic investment timepiece, the search is over. Ansley watches are 100% made in Ireland using stainless steel, sapphire glass and Swiss and Japanese quartz.
