I think I spend maybe about $8000 a year on clothes, and of that 70% will be on shoes. I love a good bargain and will wear a $10 skirt with a $150 blouse without blinking. I have gone to parties where my whole outfit combined cost less than my shoes (and my shoes were $70).

I own four or five relatively expensive suits but now I'm on a client site long term, I dress down more. Suits are supposed to be mandatory at all client sites but I've been at mine almost a year and really they're more concerned about how I work than what I wear now, so the on-going cost of my corporate clothes have lessened.
