To me, if you get out of an expensive car on Friday night, and are wearing jogging pants, your priorities are screwed up, but again that is just my opinion.

I'm guilty of having a high car to clothes spending ratio. Clothes aren't fun for me. I don't care what I look like getting out of my car. I care that it puts a smile on my face when I mash the throttle coming out of a tight onramp curve.
As for shoes... Ugh. I'm a size 14-15 and have a rough time finding dress shoes in town. Aldos never lasted 6 months for me so I refuse to go there. I picked up a pair of Steve Maddens and Kenneth Coles for $70 each at DSW in the states and they made it 2 years each. I need to find something like that online to get some replacements.
