3 Pieces Worth Splurging On from IRO, Ultracor, & Gucci

Quality > quantity. It’s time to put this mantra to practice. This year, I’ve been working on being more deliberate about the purchases I make – especially when it comes to clothes. I try to avoid shopping flash sales and make sure to keep things in my shopping cart for at least a day before pulling the trigger. This really helps you talk yourself off a ledge ;). With that said, here are three pieces that are worth spending more on to have in your closet.

3 Pieces Worth Splurging On from IRO, Ultracor, & Gucci

+ IRO Leather Jacket –

A leather jacket is a classic you’ll keep in your closet forever and can wear with just about anything. I’ve had my eye on this leather jacket by IRO. The brand embodies Parisian chic meets downtown rock and roll grunge – the perfect mix of feminine and urban styles. Although I want pretty much everything in the collection (from this dark floral dress to this leather skirt), their leather jackets always catch my eye. They’re buttery soft, perfectly fitted, and so well made you won’t have to buy another jacket for ages. Even if you’re not sure about leather jackets and think they’re a little too biker chic, I promise this one by IRO will make you reconsider.

I should make a note on sizing – IRO is a French brand, so sizing is European and probably runs a little smaller than you are used to. When in doubt, go up a size or two. Especially when it comes to leather jackets, you want to account for layering and whether or not you want to be able to zip it up.

+ Ultracor Leggings –

I remember seeing these leggings on girls in my bootcamp class and I was instantly obsessed. I had major sticker shock when I saw them. Honestly I could not believe athleisure has gotten to the point where standard leggings can run for hundreds of dollars. However, the way I see it, I work out almost everyday of the week. I end up wearing a lot of my activewear more than any other piece in my closet. Also, I find that cute workout clothes motivate me to drag myself to the gym and work harder. So sue me, so this one goes on my 3 pieces worth splurging on list. The compression on these is just right. They are super moisture wicking, flattering, and will never go to the bottom of your workout clothes pile. I promise.

+ Classic Black Handbag –

This is one of those pieces that is worth saving up for, a black handbag is the one type of bag you are guaranteed to want to use over and over and will likely be “vintage” someday. If you want something classic, go for Chanel, but a more contemporary brand (i.e. Gucci, YSL) will still be a good choice. The resale value will also be strong and you won’t feel like you can only wear the bag with certain outfits.

What splurge worthy pieces do you have your eyes on at the moment?
