Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?

What brand of jeans were over $250, Beth?
Are the expensive jeans really better than the regular priced ones? I have always wondered this.
I seriously doubt it. some people are all about labels. I used to be like that too, now I know better 
ETA: don't get me wrong, I love Coach bags and fine things. I just don't splurge on them as often as I used to. there are more important things in life to me.

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
I spend nothing on clothes. It's sad, I have this thing about spending money on myself. It's not that I can't afford it, I can. But it makes me sick to spend the $$ on myself.
I've been complaining lately to DH I have no clothes and no good shoes and he's been begging me to go shopping. Yes, ladies... begging 
I went for a quick shopping spree last week and it nearly gave me a panic attack!

I spend a lot on clothes..but I prefer to have a few really nice pieces and the rest are seasonal and get replaced each year.
Totally agree!!! I buy a lot of clothes, but the styles change every season, so I do not buy that many expensive things. I like to be in style, so I would rather save money on buying inexpensive items and be able to change my clothes every season.

They were True Relgion jeans with the rips down the front- Jessica Simpson wore them in Dukes of Hazzard
I used them as my motivational jeans to lose weight
they happen to look really good on- I normally spend between $75 to $150 on jeans
It's hard for me to find jeans b/c I am short- so I will spend the money on Deisl jeans b/c they come in lenghts- so do Abercrombie jeans- but the shorts there are not always short-

I spend way too much on clothes- from Bloomies to Target
I love to mix high end stuff with target
I have spent over $250 on jeans- I have no defense
I love to get stuff on sale- but that just makes me buy more- 
I'm the same as you. I have quite a few high end pieces that I mix with Express and Abercrombie. I haven't shopped in a really long time though, mostly because I wasn't working.
Nordstrom and Neiman are my favorites, but if I really want to splurge I go to Americana in Manhasset.

Yeah, but you have them and you'll probably have them for a while. Some people would never even think of spending $400 on a bag in the first place. I figure do the spending now before I have to spend that money on diapers.
I have yet to find a pair of Old Navy jeans that make my A$$ look as good as my Seven's do. JMHO

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
My family didn't have a lot of money when I was growing up, so I never shopped in expensive stores.
Now that I make over six figures, I still can't justify spending a lot of money on clothes. I would rather go to a Marshall's or TJ Maxx and get something on sale.

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
I spend around $60 to $80 on jeans. I love expensive stuff, but can't always buy it. I just spend $400 at J Crew for HM clothes.
Clothing items I spend alot on are jeans, bags, dresses, and bathing suits.
Cheaper jeans just don't look the same as more expensive ones IMO. Also, I am short and I need jeans that come in short.

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
I love banana republic, the gap, macys, and ebay. Ebay is my favorite place in the world. I love clothes, but I love bags even more and will spend a lot on them. Clothes, I can mix cheap with a bit more expensive and feel fine but I LOVE my bags but still make sure I get a good deal. My bag now is normally $1100 but I got it for $400!

True Religion are great jeans - worth the $$ in my opinion!!

i have the same problem! i always see cute stuff, and even if i know that i can splurge on it, i usually don't. its hard to bring myself to shop for me. i don't know why, i think it comes from growing up with very little money. i usually tell myself that i will do a lot of shopping after i get a "real" job---after grad school. for now, i shop seasonally at old navy, kohls, department stores. ~lacey

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
way too much!! I have expensive taste  but I haven't been spending and saving for the wedding. I have not bought anything new since Christmas but I think I need a few outfits soon for my shower, my sister's engagement party, and for the Rehearsal Dinner ( I can't help myself).

Old Navy for me. More bang for your buck. I never spend more than 30 on jeans. I think it all looks the same.

Re: nwr - how much do you spend on clothes?
too much, considering i wear scrubs for most of the week... 
i love a good bargain. so i shop at marshall's, century 21, tj maxx, loehmann's... all the discount stores. on occasion i will "splurge" at a sale at neiman marcus, saks, or barney's.
