'It's possible to both love fashion and see through it at the same time . . . Kirstie Clements is a very wise woman.' -Laura Brown, Editor-in-Chief, InStyle
Kirstie Clements has seen trends come and go, from the sublime to the ridiculous, but she knows real style when she sees it. This is about how to spot those wardrobe gems, from a classic loafer that makes you feel comfortable in your own skin, to a beautiful winter coat to take you through more than one season.
Why Did I Buy That? is for those with an interest in style and fashion who want to know what to wear, what to buy and how to age stylishly in these changing times.
Sharing personal stories, musings on fashion trends and thoughts on everything from gender to selfies,
Why Did I Buy That? is about how to successfully edit your wardrobe and lifestyle, how to live decadently on a budget and how to spend your money more wisely. Oh, and how to kick ass in your career with a well-chosen blazer. It's also for those of us who want to look good in our thirties and beyond without becoming a slave to fashion (or the surgeon's knife).
Including loads of clever style hints and tips and a foreword by Brooke Boney,
Why Did I Buy That? will take you by the hand and help you confidently navigate the often-challenging world of fashion trends and impulse buys. Seasonal updates allowed.
