Sartorial Egoism Or Older Vanity?

[david small]

I have just spent £2,090 on clothes for myself. Two tweed jackets, one Navy Pea coat, five trousers, three jumpers, six shirts. Self indulgent? Maybe. I certainly look a lot smarter, though I do look and feel better. Opinions?

Oh dear, puts my £17.50 jumper at M&S Outlet this afternoon in the shade .

Harris Tweed jacket £350. Nice, but very expensive I think.

[Canary42]

P.S. Not egoism or vanity - buying nice clothes does make one feel better IMHO.

[david small]

Thank you Canary42.

If you can afford it, go for it! Makes you feel better I'm sure and lifts your spirits. Enjoy. 😃

You can spend anything you want on yourself.  I spent 5K on a watch for my birthday. I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks.

Are you going somewhere nice?

[Hazlinny]

Wow!  Very nice if you can afford it - is  it charity shop for your old ones or are they for gardening/bin?

[pastafreak]

Good for you! Everyone needs a treat now and again.

I could wear the most stylish clothes available - I would still look like a bag of spuds! 😥

[david small]

Not going anywhere particularly. Charity shop for things that are decent. Dogs charity for wool and cotton items that can be used.

I bought the pea coat as it reminds me of when I was in the Merchant Navy. But, 'you can never go home again'.

Thanks for your input .

Snap Davebro3! 
 

Plus I don't go anywhere where a sack of spuds wouldn't look out of place!

Remember Harry Enfield ? Loads of money!

If you can afford it, why not?

[netherfield]

Can't take it with you.

[elliemay1]

Did you buy then all in the same shop? 

[maggiebee]

If I could afford it I would do exactly the same.  It's your money and what you spend it on is really nobody's business.  I love a smartly dressed man.
