Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've spent close to $100 on a cashmere sweater, but, that's (high-quality) cashmere. Also, $90 on sale from $150 has to count for something.
My bulbs are having similar wintry confusion. I saw the tips of crocus the other day (which obviously predate me, since I didn't plant them), and was like, dudes, you are a month early. Go back to bed.
It is stupid-cold outside today, which is why it's so ironic that I forgot to pack my lunch this morning.
OMG! Isaac just woke up and greeted me with a clearly spoken "Mama." Then he put his hand on my breast and said what sounded like "boobies there." Now he's just making baby babble.
I think I spent $40 on a shirt once. It was made of hemp, so it will last forever. (I have many dress shirts with holes worn in the elbows.) If only I could find hemp jeans, as a pare of Levis tends to last me about a year.
a year? what do you do in them? my jeans can last a good decade.
I wear my stuff all too long and have sense of style like a thing that's not. No wonder I've got no $100 shirts. Although some of my gothy shirts did actually cost some money.
I just had a neighbor ask if he could go out my window to get back in his apartment via the fire escape. SO random! I'm hoping he really was the neighbor and not a really well camoflaged burglar, with his mail and coffee.

Walk around, do stuff.
Usually I get a hole in the knee or the crotch or in the denim outside of where my keys and change collect in my front pocket.
Usually I have two or three pairs of jeans that I wear all the time.
I think I bought a $65 or $75 shirt once or twice -- silk, made very very well. Or maybe those were ones that I got in Filene's basement, so they were originally priced like that. Do sales count?
I used to sew all my own clothes when I was much younger, poorer, and had a lot more free time. Which makes me a bit of a snob about clothing construction....
I spent $98 on a dress a couple of months ago. Worth every penny. I usually bargain shop, but lately, I've been willing to spend a little more on something that fits better, and looks good on me.
That said, I have plenty of $10 shirts that do me just fine.
I spent $120 on a pair of dress pants last year. I think that's the most I've ever spent on non-footwear, non-jacket attire.
