Just the essentials or all the bells and whistles?

OK, on the clothes thing. It just astonishes me what some people pay for clothing. I understand that it can be a prestige thing if you're a millionaire and want to wear suits worth 4 figures. But even off the rack shirts and pants cost $100, $200 or more. Prom dresses are outrageous; thank goodness my girls are out of high school. I do have to buy some FR (fire retardant) clothing for work. That's for safety so no room to budge. An FR work shirt costs around $150 but its really durable and lasts a long time.
