How much is TOO much?

Okay I can face reality - I have way too many clothes to the point that I don’t get rid of things anymore, I just buy more hangers and rearrange things in the closet. I do my best to hold off on shopping too much by avoiding any sort of store or just fake online shopping but when it comes to a really great steal or I find something I love, I have to have it. The only thing that stops me is pulling out the price tag and seeing an obscene dollar amount. I try to rationalize as much as I can and talk myself out of buying things because a $58 tank top, $280 jeans, $90 leggings, $430 boots, are all a little ridiculous. There will be times I consult myself and say that I really need those $430 boots but then I think about all the other things I could buy in exchange for those boots. I want to know how much is TOO much - how much are you willing to spend on one article of clothing, pair of shoes, or new purse? If you do find something that is just over the top but you absolutely love it and leave the store without - do you go back to make the purchase if you can’t stop thinking about it? That is me about 20% of the time and it’s unfortunate, but I will say that the items that I spend the most money on I really cherish and wear to death (mainly shoes).

A couple years ago I bought a pair of black flats from Italy and spent an undisclosed amount of money, the most I’ve ever spent on ANY of my shoes, and they are the best flats I have ever owned. They are still in tact and get worn! Share your thoughts, stories!
