Do you guys ever spend way too much money when you go shopping, even if you were just looking for one thing? I was looking for a new top online, and I literally ended up buying tons of stuff.

Please tell me this happens to you, too? What are your favorite items to splurge on?

I'm not a bulk spender, I spread it across, much like grocery shopping. But if you sum my yearly clothing expenses up, it sort of gets up there

I have no regrets coz each time I make a buy I buy the best thing out there, the one that fits me like a glove. So, no waste of money there.

Shoes are usually the biggest indulgence in my clothing budget. No regrets though, I prefer a good pair of shoes on my feet and the brands I buy are made to last a long time if you take proper care of them.

I also like certain brands of Sportcoats and blazers, but I try to find them on sale or at an outlet mall, I rarely if ever pay retail for clothing with the exception of shoes.

^^^It depends on my mood and/or what my expenses are. I won't over-extend myself if I have other priorities.

However, I do make great effort not to pay retail. I love outlets, etc....or online sites that provide discounted prices.

I love ebay for clothing. Even if it's slightly used, I can get quality brands that I usually couldn't afford.

No, I don't spend much--it feels good at first but when the bills come in, not so good.

I love beautiful clothes, and sometimes I do spend too much...but if I know it's an investment piece, I suck it back. I love my clothes, and shoes.

There's nothing like spending to much for fashionistas/divas

By the way, antler man's physique has been shrinking lately, but in a good way, where I've been getting that elusive V-shaped torso, slowly and legibly.

And I have been thinking it's time to amuse myself with some slim fit sweater vests, like this one, to go with my fitted shirts. Fall's around the corner.

There are vests out there from major brands, but none of those are fitted like the way I want it, but I'm still on the hunt.

I already won the bid on an item, and I'm scratching my stubble on this one

Mens Luxury Slim fit Gardigan Argyle Pattern Vest Knit | eBay

It's not letting me get the picture of the item I won, but it looks similar.

So, when I spend, it's never bulky, it's sprinklings like this here and there.
