I am a bargain gal..I worked in retail for years and we use to get 50 per cent off our clothing.I'm a bit of a hippy and eclectic in the way I dress so even my spare room is choccas full of clothing .
I can't justify paying alot for clothes when I use to buy them so cheap from work.My jeans I have are from jeans west and cost $70 and I've had in the past jeans from target that cost $30 and were just as nice.I also hang out for bargains on clothes from Sportsgirl, I love some of their clothes and love,love,love the markets...esp Bondi and Glebe markets in Sydney.
Having said that the last piece of clothing that I bought that was expensive was almost 2 yrs ago in Byron Bay from a retro shop.It is a knee length sequined pink,silver and white butterfly caftan.It is so beautiful and heavy and I paid $200 for it.I think it may have been holiday mode that made me buy it but it's gorgeous and timeless.
Im really a bargain shopper, however if i see something that is a timeless classic that is made of really good material, then i dont mind spending the money.
The last item i bought was a white wool & cashmere jacket from David Jones for $129 reduced from $219 bargin!!
My biggest indulgence has been a Spencer & Rutherford handbag which I bought from their yearly sale in 2004. It was reduced from $400 to $150 and I used it for 3 years and have only just bought myself a new Jag one (not nearly as expensive as that one!). I definately got my money's worth out of that one.
