Do you think that style and quality is more important than cost? Do you think that cost is more important and wear anything you find on the sale rack in your size?? I'm usually wearing $1000+ But this is including clothes, shoes, bag, accessories including jewellery. I like to buy quality fabrics. I always look at the stitching, I think delicate detailing and beading help, But the key to the perfect outfit is in the fit.

i think spending that kind of money on clothes is ridiculous and wasteful. the other day we were shoe shopping...i desperastely needed new shoes since my pair were so scuffed up and the bottom sole was coming apart making my feet all wet. I saw a lot of nice shoes for $50 and more. I didn't buy them. We went to Wal-mart and I got an awesome pair for $10. Sure they might not last more than a year or two, but $10 every 2 years isn't too bad to me lol. I won't buy clothes unless it is less than $10. $20 is really stretching it for me - I might spend that on a good dress or something like that for an occasion or if i see something i know i will get a lot of use of. Most things I get for less than $5...I do thrift hunting, sometimes I even get clothes for free by swapping it with other people. I don't think anyone would ever call me a raggamuffin or guess how cheap i am...I once got a brand new $200 name brand skirt suit for $2 at a church flea market along with a ton of other clothes during their bag sale, lol. learning how to shop carefully is important. wouldn't you rather have $950 in your bank account than on your body? I don't mean to criticize you, I just am showing you how I live :)

love to shop and i love to shop for bargains too! It's not that i dont have any cheap clothes or anything like that, i just dont often by them, i love to look fashionable and stylish. I always feel my best when i am wearing beautiful clothes. I know the look change be done really well without the huge bills, i'm just a sucker for fancy clothes my jeans and dresses are often pretty expensive ranging from $300 - $750 All of my tops were under $160 the most exp. I usually have a really nice pair of heels that bumps up the price of the outfit by $500 Bags another $500 or more. I think that jewellery really sets off an outfit, i have some really nice pieces, i think accessories personalise your style.
