1. Calculate Cost-Per-Wear

  • Invest in quality MaaVesa basics (co-ords, frocks).

  • Divide item cost by estimated wears to reveal true value.



2. Shop Smart: Mix High & Low

  • Essentials (High-Quality): Organic cotton tees and dresses.

  • Trend Pieces (Budget): Seasonal shorts or skirts—swap annually.
