This is advice from the “duh-obviously” category but I still wanted to capture it. The last few years I’ve been trying to upgrade my style from relying too heavily on fast-fashion (aka: cheap shit from forever21 and target.) So I’ve been trying to find the right mix of buying quality items I love and that will last, and blending in some less expensive trendy items. The one thing I’ve struggled with is I know expensive doesn’t equal quality - but I haven’t had a set system for what does equal quality. This quick summary of “fit, fabric, style” is a nice one and easy to remember!

My new windows surface pro! This little guy is going to completely replace my home computer. And as the first computer purchase I’ve ever made on my own (thanks dad for all the hand-me downs ;) I’m pretty excited about it. So far I’m REALLY happy with my choice!
