You’re either very young, or you live in jeans and t-shirts, or both.
The most I ever spent on an article of clothing was a knee-length leather coat… but I’ve also sighed wistfully over (and not bought) shoes and/or boots priced higher than my mortgage payment.
Louboutin, it’s a sickness.
In my line of work, there’s no percentage in dressing up. Last time I wore a tie it was probably 10 years ago.
