And, yes, I realise it runs both ways so I *really* need to get around to buying that new pair of trousers–but short legs are such a pain to buy for…

Personally, the most I've spent on an item was about $50, I believe, one of Polo's sportshirts. I may spend twice as much on a coat. I can usually get shoes for less than that. I'll wear most designers and am willing to try out new ones. I've never been a practical shopper, if I see a good sale, I'll buy items I may not need at that time, out of season. Like trousers, jeans, or a nice sweater. I'm a sucker for expensive pants and fine sweaters. Thin, comfortable, quality sweaters are hard to find for cheap. The one time I did find some shoes worth stretching out for, Bally's for like $60, I couldn't find them in my size. I wear a 13 mens, for me a good deal usually means Timberland or Rockports. Keep shopping though, it's a bit easier for men to find a deal, I think, because the clothes don't have to fit quite as well. I still wear my clothing sort or loose or baggy, whatever. I like shopping for purses though, not for myself, but it's an easy purchase for a woman because everyone can use one and they're always fun to look at. You can never go wrong buying one for someone, if you have some sense of what they may like. Perhaps you’ve slowly and surely becoming a serious shopper.
