Balancing Act

Incorporating balance in the world of fashion may seem at times — contradicting— to say the least. There have always been and there will always be temptations to sway us.

I will be the first to admit when something I consider to be an apparel or accessory "must-have" presents itself to me at a price I cannot afford (pretty much anything Louis Vuitton or Marc Jacobs), my first inclination is to take all necessary measures to ensure it is MINE. In the end, however, situations like this (when impulse overrides common sense) never turn out positively. 

Stick to your budgets, Fashionistas. Balance and happiness will follow. There is so much you can do with a creative mind!
