What was your best clothes buy? I have a knit set (skirt and tunic top) that I have worn
for the last 12 years. It was bought for my cousin's wedding. It is both black, grey and silver and cost about $150. It fit me 60 pounds ago. It fits now. I've worn it to funerals, family gatherings, etc. And it still looks nice. very classic style. When I compare it to a dress I bought in the 1980s it is a fantastic deal. That 1980s dress was a black velvet bodice, cut on an angle at the waist (did I mention it was the 1980s), and a green taffeta attached skirt. I wore it once. It cost me the same. I am much better off now that I am not a slave to fashion. I'm kinda like a man in that I have my one formal uniform that I use again and again. Men have it so easy (except for the tie around the neck part). Men's stuff doesn't just last a lifetime, it can be passed on. My dad has passed his kilt on to my brother.

I have had it for ages. That's probably the oldest thing I have that I still wear. I have tons of old clothes though, including my prom gown! (I only wore it once, of course!)
from Ben Sherman that I get constant complements on, slim-cut, wide-collar. A real headturner. I put it on with a white tie, slate-gray suit and I look great. I get hit on constantly in this shirt, even just walking down the street.
It's this color, but not this shirt.
