fashion acronyms

PPW (price per wear) is one that I'm sure many of you have referred to when deliberating on whether you should purchase that ridiculously overpriced item. You will have a mini debate in your head and try to reason with the state of your finances - should I really splurge a week/months pay on this? It's only $x per wear if I use it x amount of times... you know the drill. And usually, your finances lose. 

While I was browsing through Prada the other night, I saw that they had my wallet in this gorgeous nude pink, with tonal interior, which is sooo much prettier than my pewter colourway. While I thought about the possibility of upgrading my wallet after 1.5 years (which is still in good condition, with a few scuffs), I thought about it's PPW. It works out to  be $1.06 per use (since I use it everyday) - which sounds totally affordable, no? And it will only get cheaper!

TBH, there are still items in my wardrobe where the PPW is still 100% of its purchase price. Those, are what leaves me with buyers remorse even though they were only a tiny fraction of the price of a Prada wallet.
