Someone got me a gift card from sears that had $100 on it. Everything was on sale at sears, so I bought some clothes with it. I already know 99.9% of the stuff in there is total overpriced CRAP. So I took my time and had my eye open for hidden gems. The VAST majority was EXPENISVE (I'm not paying more than $20 for anything from
SEARS that's going to fall appart. The stuff was mostly falling appart on the shelf brand new!). Some of the tags said $50! I could go to Banana Republic or Guess for $50.00, gimme a break!
So, I got a red dockers sweater for $20.00; some really dark structure jeans for $24.00, and a bunch of ties. Two are pink, one is yellow, and the last is green/blue stripes. The grand total was $110.00. So you don't need to spend money to make something look nice, but you need to know what to buy and what size to find.
First one: the suit jacket, black leather shoes and button up shirt I already had. But I mixed it up with the new jeans and tie that cost a whopping $30.00 total. But you'd never know because the shoes, jacket and button up shirt cost much, much more.
