Is This Worth Buying? A calm way to decide, using what you already own.

"Is This Worth Buying?" is really a wardrobe question in disguise. The honest answer depends on how a piece fits your palette, how often you'll actually wear it, and what it pairs with. Here's a simple way to decide.
Ask what it pairs with
A piece that works with several things you already own multiplies your outfits. One that works with nothing just adds to the pile. This single question settles most decisions.
