I held a very high position at a Fortune 500 Company and world travel was part of the job. I HAD to dress well so I can understand spending alot of money on clothes, but $30,000.00? If you have it and can do it good for you! I have always been a bargain hunter. I discovered that the Salvation Army has incredible options and agree that high end second hand shops are amazing for incredible buys. they have a great selection of clothing that I can now wear. I know it is not for everyone, but it works for me. I also made quite a bit of money selling my items on Ebay. Ebay is also great for other favorites of mine, Eileen Fisher, J Jill, Soft Surroundings and Talbots. Pinterest has quite a few boards that show you how what pieces to buy and how to build outfits with those items.
