What was it? Was it for you or someone else? Was it worth the money or would a cheaper alternative worked better?

$40 on a pair of shoes M'ija had to have for a dance class. It was worth it for her to be able to take dance, which she enjoyed, as an alternative to phys ed, which she hated.

Besides wedding attire and formal wear...

I spent $150 on a pair of Coach boots on sale. They were worth every penny and 10 years later I can still wear them, the style is classic. (plus, my feet went up 1/2 size after having ds and I can still wear them, score!)

My wedding dress and my 20-hole Doc Marten boots were both around $125.

Snow ski gear: $300 a piece for bibs and a jacket. I've had them for 8 yrs now, still in great shape!

$40 on a formal dress in high school. yay for thrift stores!!

I was going to say my beloved Coach sandals I splurged on last summer for about $115. I love them. Well, I got them out this season and wore them twice and noticed this weekend, they are splitting on the sides where the strap meets the sole. I went back into the store and they told me to bring them in and they will send them for repair. Guess they're worth the money!

My long coat- it was about $150 when I bought 8 years ago.

$300 for a custom made corset and then $150 for a pair of Doc. Martins.

$50 for jeans (and i bought two pair!). DH got them for me for Christmas 2007. not worth the money - one pair got a hole in the knees within 6 months and the other pair is almost there. i still have jeans that are more durable than those that I bought almost 10 years ago at the salvation army for $2.
