What article of clothing or footwear do you consider worth the huge amount of money you spent on it? Why?


For me, it would be the pair of boots I bought at the Marikina Shoe Expo for PhP 2,000 a year ago. It's great for wearing either to school or going out on gimmicks. Not to mention, baha-proof!

A shirt, but not just any shirt! I like shirts with cool designs, like anime drawings and stuff. I don't go for the brand, but the design. Once, I shelled out 1000 bucks to get a Ghost in Shell shirt. Another time, I bought a Final Fantasy 7 shirt for P1200.

I agree with you Glass House -- Marks and Spencer is my all-time favorite clothing chain.

Yes, Marks & Spencer is one of my favorites (next to bookstores). In Hongkong, my brother and I would troop over to M&S at the first hour of shopping and come out with lots of bags.

I once bought a really expensive black blazer (don't ask how much). But it was worth it because it made any work outfit look classy.

hi ChiQui! crush ka pala ng bayan! anyway...

clothing?...i have so many favourite pieces (meron pang mga runner-ups:lol . but i agree with the others about M&S. i used to give my white school socks a lot of punishment in grade school/high school and they STILL lasted the whole year! last year they came out with these classic cropped round/vee-neck tees. loved it sooo much i got it in 5 colours! anyway, i use them all the time and they don't look the worse for wear.

footwear...i got these black sandals with velcro straps and rubberised soles from Fornarina (or something like that) 2 yrs ago. i used to wear them everyday so they're really ratty now but i REALLY love them!

worth it??

almost all my stuff from diesel and banana republic are well worth the price i paid them for. And a lot of my stuff from M&S since grade school are still with me...ok nga sa quality e. For shoes, the JP TOds i have..got it for 250 dollars...it's been with me for 8 years. as for bags, all my coach and gucci bags look like they're good as new.

The ones I consider worth the small fortune I parted with are my Bally shoes, Italian boots, clothes from Mango, and Coach bags. They retain their quality inspite of the amount of abuse I manage to dish out on them.

I'd have to agree that although Marks & Spencer is quite expensive, it's still well-worth it lalo na yung mga pants na binibili namin ng mom and sister ko from that store. Ganda kse ng fit.

I hope that color change is because of the detergent or I might be puking. It's like saying my white briefs became yellow to orange! Ewww!
