Your mom is right. You need to spend on quality clothes, but you can supplement them with less expensive pieces. I coudn't get through a week with only 3 pairs of jeans. I like to have 8-10 pair of really good jeans for going out and 15-20 for work, hockey rinks, dog park, my sister-in-laws disgusting house, etc.
I won't wear 200.00 jeans to work. I work with a lot of people who are just barely getting by so I feel uncomfortable showing up in higher end clothes and I wear jeans almost every day. I'll stick to average brands for work and save my nice jeans for after work and weekends.
Agreed on purses, my compromise on that with my hubby is one per season. As far as the magic jeans go, there's no way hubby would ever understand spending that on jeans and I'd rather win other battles. (like purses, shoes and my Flames road trips)
I plan to stop buying jeans at Old Navy because they are mostly junk. I've enlisted the help of my friends to go with me for my annual tank top stock up and not let me be swayed by anything else in that store!
