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.

Wow! I'm resisting that 'work to consume, consume to work' cycle, myself. Besides, no-one but a living-at-home 20-something has that kind of money to spend on clothes. My method is to buy the occasional expensive piece and then put some very cheap basics with it. I also have bought a lot of work clothes second-hand. When I lived in Canberra there was a fabulous stall at the markets specialising in good quality second hand work wear which was wonderful. I bought various designer classics, some of which are still going strong. I guess it helps that I don't work in the kind of office where suits are mandatory though.
