Spending $80 on a jacket isn't expensive if you wear it a dozen times or so. If you have worn it only once, it was expensive and probably not worth it.
I think like Steeltrap. I try to buy classics that last for years. They tend to be more expensive, but it is worth it. Also we are building a professional wardrobe which is different from a college wardrobe. I hate spending too much money on clothes. I figure out what I like and what I need. If I see something on sale that I need, I buy it. If I see something that is expensive, I wait until it is on sale. I try to shop around for sales. I am lucky to be in NY because there is always a sale.
