That's a lot of money!

I've been thinking lately about my work wardrobe. We company directors need to do that, you know

As a guide, spend one month's salary a year on your professional wardrobe

I wouldn't spend anything close to that amount of money - ever! But I feel a bit better about allocating more than I do now.

I probably spent about 2 weeks after tax salary on clothes last year, but only because I had to get stuff made and do a fair bit of catching up because I hadn't needed a professional wardrobe before and I'd changed shape. This year I think I'm running at about half a week's salary so far, but will need to spend money on shoes. I buy anywhere from expensive to very expensive shoes and they are definitely worth it - I have two work pairs in black - one for skirts and one for trousers. The skirt pair I've had for 6 years, the trouser pair for 4. They're now down to about $30 a year, but I do need to replace my boots. If anyone knows of a company that makes boots for people with substantial calves I'd be grateful. As for the bottom issue, I suggest you invest in a cheesegrater.

Oh me too, l don't consider my calves to be especially 'substantial' but there is no way 'normal' boots will fit me., I got temporarily excited when l saw that Homy Ped had knee length boots this season, of course tried them on and they wouldn't fit..
