As a regular shopper, Emily found herself spending an exhaustive amount of time browsing, buying, returning, and purging. She embarked on a journey to learn more about the \u201cwhy\u201d behind her overconsumption, and decided to help others do the same. \u201cI think a lot of people assume that investment pieces mean luxury. For me, specifically, I always think about \u2013 can I pass this down to my daughter? Investment pieces can be secondhand, too. Whether I\u2019m shopping new or secondhand, I\u2019m always asking myself that question \u2013 is this something I can pass down to her?\u201d -Emily JANUARY THEME \u2014 EXPLORING THE NUANCE AROUND *INVESTMENT PIECES*&amp;nbsp; This month, we\u2019re going all in on \u2013 investment pieces. What does that really mean? Well, that\u2019s one of the aspects we unpack. But if you google around and start diving into the discussion online, you\u2019ll find a lot of people talking about things like: LONGEVITY, JUSTIFYING HIGHER TICKET ITEMS, HIGHER QUALITY, HIGHER COSTS, and EVERGREEN STYLES. We touch on cost per wear, the idea of fewer better things, and recommendations when you\u2019re searching for investment pieces.&amp;nbsp; It\u2019s also personal \u2013 so remember to take that into account as you listen to this week\u2019s guest. What you deem an investment piece may not necessarily be what someone else identifies as an investment piece \u2013 and to me, that\u2019s some of the fun of it. Speaking of this week\u2019s guest \u2013 she self identifies as a former overconsumer-turned-fair-fashion-advocate who loves secondhand and influencing others to quit fast fashion.
