In my experience, getting to know what’s available from different designers and at different stores is one of the best ways to know your style and what you’re most attracted to. I’ve found that if I’m exposed to unique and interesting items, even if they’re out of my price range, it’s easier for me to pick up great pieces at low-priced stores. than.
