That's how you find yourself in debt or being audited.
Not quite sure...definitely under $1000 though....

$200 on a set of five limited edition Disneyland paintings by Shag. If we're talking clothing, $90 on a pair of Coach sneakers.

Wow... And everyone I know thinks I'm bad for spending $200 on a sweater. It's hard for me to spend more than $100 on any single article of clothing, I couldn't imagine spending several thousand... Especially since I've grown up being taught that clothes and things like that aren't important. It's better to invest your money in something like the stock market or real-estate.
When I was younger, my family didn't have a lot of money. My parents could barely speak English and the only source of income we had was the stipend my dad received as a grad student. But we were happy. A lot happier than we are now, even though my dad has a good job and income now. I feel like it was because back then we made the most of what we had, and all the material things, while nice, didn't dominate our lives. Whereas now there's so much stress involving making more money and buying more things that we aren't really ever content with what we have. I feel like the world's become a place where enough never really is enough.
That said, I really do like clothes. Just being a college student, it's sometimes not plausible to spend so much. And I feel like I never really appreciate what I buy. Still, given the chance, I probably would spend $10000 on a article clothing. Not to say I wouldn't feel guilty about it though... Because it goes against everything I was raised to believe in. But at the same time, beautiful things really are what make me happy...

Mingming, I feel the same way. I know fully well that clothes don't make you who you are and that it's better to invest your efforts in other things. But I love beautiful, quality things and aside from food and shelter, I'd want to spend all of my money on clothing/accessories.I'm a student right now so i don't hold a job and it's really hard managing my savings when there are all these beautiful designer things I want.
Sometimes I feel like I'm obsessive over fashion... My friends are content shopping at Gap, American Eagle, those very affordable chain stores. But after seeing the luxury and designs of designer clothing, I feel like I can't stand stuff cheap stuff. I'd rather buy nothing than buy cheap things that I will throw away in a year. So I guess the best way is to invest in clothing that you really LOVE, but don't buy things just because it's a good deal or whatever...

The most lavishly i've ever spent on an item of clothing is 65 pounds last winter, when i bought a coat and a pair of Topshop ankle boots for that price.
