Beauty Fixer Upper: Taupe Nail Polish

Who doesn't love an affordable and incredibly achievable trend? I for one cannot get enough of fashion updates that are easy and don't break the bank. This is why I'm so obsessed with accessories at all price points. How else can you look super hip and buy something either high or low end and wear it many times while all along lowering your cost per wear? 

This, my friends, is my kind of fashion economics because while you may not be able to rationalize those $200 boots, you can if you break down the cost per wear:  if you wear them 20 times/month throughout winter that's a whopping 80 wears over a 4 month period a la those boots' cost per wear = $2.50. Not too shabby right? Well, imagine this breakdown with a $9 bottle of nail polish. It can get down to cents per day. I rest may case.

So, next time you balk at my nail polish obsession you do the math. It's a recession worthy fashion investment with very few financial repercussions. My obsession du jour? Taupe nail polish. Even though I bought it a while ago and my fashionable coworkers said, "It looks like grandma polish." 

Well gang, if I've said it once I've said it one hundred times: If it's on Who.What.Wear then it must be cool. Not tooting my own horn. I am just saying you should get some & wear it because it's basically the new OPI Bubble Bath only more edgy and just as neutral, so there.
