You can find a lot of items you need/want that are inexpensive, but they don't always hold up. These items are definitely ones you should spend a little extra money to be sure they are good quality and will last.
1. Wallets and purses
When you use something everyday, you want it to hold up and be able to last you a long time.
2. Boots
It is definitely necessary to get boots that keep you warm and are comfortable to wear, especially if they have a heel.
3. Tennis shoes
Whether you are using tennis shoes to workout in just to wear casually, you want them to hold up and be comfortable to be active in.
4. Jeans
Jeans are a necessity for every outfit and you can wear them all year long! Buying a pair of jeans that fit you perfectly will make you feel like you can conquer the world.
5. Jewelry
It is definitely worth it to spend the extra dollar on jewelry so it doesn't tarnish, and for me, my skin is very sensitive so I really only can wear real gold or silver earrings.
6. Leggings
When buying leggings, it is worth to spend more money so they don't get holes easily, aren't see through, and if you are like me and wear them every day you will definitely get your money worth out of them.
7. Winter coats
Being in college you have to walk far in the cold, so it is definitely worth to spend a little extra money on one and make sure it is warm and withstand any kind of weather that is around you.
8. Swimsuits
Swimsuits are very tricky and hard to find that fit you well. You don't want it to be see-through and you also want it to be able to withstand chlorine and protect you from the sun. You also want your swimsuit to fit you perfectly so it is comfortable and doesn't fall off your become saggy.
9. Bras and underwear
Undergarments are one of the most important parts of your outfit. If they don't fit well, they can make you look bigger than you really are and could potentially not be flattering. Once you have bras and underwear that fit well you will feel so much more comfortable.
10. Perfume
I love to splurge on perfume for many different reasons, but the biggest reason is that the ingredients they use last longer and stick better to your skin.
11. Sunglasses
Everyone loves fun sunglasses and it is so easy to just buy a cute cheap pair, but a good quality pair is definitely worth it because they will last and they protect your eyes better than a $10 pair.
12. Sweaters
In the winter when you are wearing sweaters you want them to keep you warm and to not be a cheap material that won't hold up in the wash. Cheap materials also snag more easily than a sweater that is better quality.
13. Backpacks
Spending a little extra on a backpack can guarantee it will last you a couple years and you can trust to fill it with your computer and it is safe.
14. Makeup
Spending a little extra money on makeup can make a huge difference in how your face reacts to the product and how well it stays on throughout the day.

Not only is it worth to splurge on haircuts and colors but you want to make sure you go to someone you trust so you know for sure you will be happy with the outcome.
