LOL I'd rather spend more on a shirt that lasts me a few years than ditch it 6 months later when the elbows and cuffs wear out by then.
Its only that amount for special occasions and its not once a month or anything like that!
Its a mixture of high living costs and the people who you tend to mix with in your social circles to Network etc etc. Part of the problem is with willpower and the constant marketing being given out by the credit card companies, Sometimes its hard to resist when you get a private sale invite to Lane Crawford with 40% off etc.
