After getting an incredible amount of use out of the tan version of this shirt (worn here and here) I decided it made complete sense to break down and get it in black. I like to find ways to justify certain purchases, but all in all, cost divided by wear, it almost pays for itself (like my reasoning?).

amazing outfit ♥

I love the boots in particular, very nice detailing!
The whole outfit is cute though! Cost per wear thinking is what I always do, you can justify anything that way 🙂

cost divided by frequency of wear, throw in a unique factor and a flattering factor, maybe even a versatility factor (office and out on the town), you can start getting a pretty complicated and intricate equation!
you are totally justified.

Cost divided by wear I suppose is a way of 'mentally amortising' buying a piece haha. I believe I did the same justification when I bought the Isabel Marant Willows 😉
