Something about it doesn't fit right anymore and it just feels altogether wrong for me. So I went out looking for a blazer that will compliment my best pair of dress pants. I was able to find one that looks good with a bunch of my blouses and my best dress pants as well as with my nice jeans and some other blouses, even a t-shirt. It also goes well with my favorite accessory, a lovely scarf Micah gave me. Generally pretty exciting. :) <abbr><em>Mrs. Micah´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MrsMicah/~3/452866190/" rel="nofollow">Coming Up with a Christmas Gift for My Husband</a></abbr></em> I’m interviewing this week and I realized that I hate my old suit.

I figure if I love it-- I'll wear it enough to get my moneys worth. I also agree with buying quality clothes that you can wear for a long time.

Those expensive clothes look like absolute crap after I washed them a few times, it is ridiculous. So why pay more if you end up with less? <abbr><em>Emma´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.baby-log.com/first-three-months-baby-life/first-time-parents-new-baby-no-help-how-to-survive-part-1/" rel="nofollow">First time parents, new baby, no help - how to survive (part 1)</a></abbr></em> What really, I mean really bugs me is when I decide to go for the expensive stuff (yes, I admit, it happens sometimes) – I automatically expect quality – but it’s simply not there any more.

I'm still wearing some good tunic style tops that I bought in the mid 80's (no, they're not neon colours or wildly cut and they don't have shoulder pads!). In fact when I occasionally wear them with their matching slim just below knee length skirts I *always* get compliments. But when I do buy something new I tend to one extreme or the other. I buy at least one inexpensive skirt per year. I pay $10 for a long, broomstick style skirt with elastic and drawstring waist. Right now I have 3 in good shape (and a couple of others only fit for wearing while cleaning the house). I also occasionally go to a place that clears out designer clothes. I got a Liz Claiborne tshirt and long denim skirt, plus a DKNY tshirt. The shirts (with long or 3/4 sleeves) were about $20 to $25 each and the skirt was $30. And I got 2 Tommy Bahamas tshirts with 3/4 length sleeves at 75% off (about $25 each, not from the discount place, just on the marked down rack at Tommy Bahamas). I would never pay full price for designer clothes but I'm happy to wear them when I get them for the same price as one from Zellers/Kmart! Plus they last for a lot longer than cheaper ones.
