I rarely buy new clothes for myself. It's an annual adventure at best. With that, it's understandable that some of the favorite ties I tend to wear during the week are many, many years old. Shirts usually get replaced on birthdays and at Christmas. So it was nice that one of my co-workers mentioned a significant sale at the downtown Macy's.
Long story short: three new dress shirts, four new ties, all for $85. All legitimately good looking stuff. Best part was that the receipt showed the original price on all of the items. I wasn't paying attention when I was picking things out, just wanted to add some variety to the wardrobe -- some different colors and patterns that I don't usually wear.
Total price if I'd gone shopping before any discounts? $320. Nice.
