<p>A $5000 shopping spree wouldn’t begin to cover the clothes it’s taken me twenty years to accumulate. My favorite jacket–handpainted silk–cost me more than 500 dollars ten years ago. I’ve gotten LOTS of wear out of it, too. Oh, and I have a handwoven jacket I wear a lot, too. That was a little less expensive. (That one is twenty years old. I guess I’m due for something new.)</p>
