I don't like buying too many expensive clothing because my weight fluctuates and I don't want to spend $500 on an outfit, only to get fat or lose weight and not be able to wear it.

I love handbags because I can keep them in pristine condition just by being careful. Shoes are too volitile and I have stepped on cracks in sidewalks and killed the leather on my heels before.

Of course, I got in a wreck in January and cannot wear heels **eek** because when I do my lower back swells up really bad and my hand starts going numb...going to an orthopedic something or other to see if I can get it straightened out without surgury.

Alicia - I have bought a few items at Wal Mart and for the price the quality is pretty good. I haven't had any problems with the clothes I have gotten there. As for Target, they rock...and JC Penny's is okay too.

I LOVE Macy's when I can find a good sale - but I try to get my mom to buy me nice clothes from there because I hate dropping serious cash on clothes.

If I saved, and the bag was really special...my limit would be around $3,000 - but I have yet to purchase a bag that expensive.
