fashion forward

A huge dilemma I'm often forced to deal with when giving fashion advice is whether an item a person bought a year ago is still fashionable or not or how can I be fashionable with a small budget.

The truth is being fashion forward or fashionable is not only about going out every weekend and buying outfits for the week ahead its about buying investment pieces and styling it according to what's trending atm.
