Buyer's remorse

Big head versus little head.I spent $175 on a single dress shirt this past week (more because I needed too rather than wanted to), and regretted that purchase by next morning.
Yet, I can drop $250 on an SP and not think twice about it afterward....
Weird?
Well $175 is still overpriced for an SP so if you have money to burn, why sweat it?I spent $175 on a single dress shirt this past week (more because I needed too rather than wanted to), and regretted that purchase by next morning.

Interesting comparison.
Off hand, a buck 75 for a dress shirt is not out of the park. Go into Holt Renfrew and see what women drop on a blouse. It will make your head spin.
Clothes are tricky things to buy. It's definitely THEE industry where you don't always get what you pay for. (Some industries - like plumbing fixtures I'd say for example, you truly get what you pay for.) But clothes, no way. Although there is a huge variance in the quality of clothing out there, there are no guarantees that a $200 dress shirt is any better than an $80 dress shirt. (Though I would pretty much guarantee that an $80.00 dress shirt is far better than a $35 dress shirt. Often times with fashion, you pay for the name.

Sometimes I do stupid things too: $250 for a flowery silk blouse at Holt Renfrew. Being seated for dinner, beside a woman wearing same blouse at Four Seasons Truffles - priceless.
Not stupid at all. $250 gives you bragging rights. $400 gives you even more bragging rights. Hee, hee, hee.
Query: Do they still make shirts that are a polyster/cotton blend? I hate these 100% cotton shorts because they don't "breathe".
You've got that right... (Although this is far from obvious brand-name mark-up)
I'm still getting over the 'what the fuck was I thinking' stage, but at the same time planning my next session!
Well consider it this way. That shirt is good for many uses so long as you don't stain it, shrink it or get fat. Sounds like you needed the shirt for a special occasion or whatever..... there will be more of those events.
lol I have the same problem, stupid poker but lately I've been doing the mini bacc 25-200 a hand no though otherwise....
