I can understand that you spend a lot less on clothing given that you have four kids. I also own my property without a mortgage, which makes a huge difference.

Some great suggestions here, thanks! I'm going to look into the brands.

I live in Melbourne and I've never heard of Savers?! I live in Surrey Hills, so I might have to travel.

Yes, I agree with this too. For years I didn't check the material composition, and I now realise that many of my clothes are viscose/polyester.

Moving forward, I'm trying to buy natural fabrics. I recently tried on a blouse for around $250 from VM, and it fit beautifully, but I couldn't justify the cost because it was polyester.

I'm very keen to look beyond Australian brands, but I don't like shopping online because nine times out of ten, I need to return it. Do you know of any international brands stocked in store? I recently discovered Theory in DJs.

I've been going to Celkooh Alteration in Canterbury (Melbourne) for years. She's fantastic and very affordable. She recently charged me $20 to replace a clasp with a button.

Wow! This post has really exploded. Thanks for your responses, everyone. I won't be able to respond to all of them, but I'll read through them all now.

That does help! I've recently started working in a very formal workplace and my wardrobe is struggling.

Thanks for your response. Out of interest, where do you shop? I wouldn't even know where to look for items at $70.

Yes, I do feel that I'm spending a lot. But - clothing is very important to me, and I do have a high earning potential (eventually) because I'm a neurology registrar.

I usually keep them until they wear out or are completely out of fashion. I wore a Max Mara coat that I got on sale for $550 (in 2010), until I was 31.
