I became debt free yesterday, save for a car loan. As a reward, I have $1,000 to go shopping for clothes with. What should I put on my shopping list??

    well since all i tend to wear is Khakis (Eddie Bauer), button down shirt, polo shirts and jeans, I am not much help.

    I would spend 1/2 on clothing, and the rest on camping equipment .... no I wouldn't I have all the camping stuff I need. :)

    Express.....they have the best most comfortable clothes, and their stuff out of season is always on sale. That or a nice pair of lucky jeans....they last literally forever and are as comfortable as wearing sweatpants

    I'd buy a pair of Louboutin pumps, a pair of jeans, and some fitted knit tops.

    I'd totally do this too. Not truly debt free until ALL the debt is gone (except maybe a mortgage -- that's another option: put the money in a savings account for emergencies, or a down-payment on a new home!)

    Either setting it aside for car/house payment or take a trip even a mini one. Make it healthy and fabulous

    Half off the car, half to spend I'd say. That's way too much to be blowing on clothes!

    Congratulations!!! :drinker:

    I'm planning to buy some new pants when I get the dough to clothes shop again. But A1's idea sounds great, a vacation (big or min) sounds great too!

    OOOOOhhhhhhhh! I have played this exact game!

    My dad got me a $1000 gift card to Macy's when I grad'd college. So there was no "make a car payment" or "put it in savings" allowed :bigsmile:

    I spent $250 of it on a watch that I still wear all the time and love, a Citizen eco-drive that will never need a battery.

    I spent $100 of it on a pair of black scallop-edged lambskin gloves that now fit my hands ...... like a glove...... LOL

    I spent $300 on a navy blue wool peacoat.

    The rest I spent on a bunch of clothes I no longer fit into, and a pair of shoes that I rarely wear.

    IMHO, the watch was the best part of my spending, because I wear it so often. I wanted to invest in timeless/classic pieces that would last, and the gloves, the peacoat and my watch are BIFL items.

    You are not debt free, you have a car loan.

    I would use it on the car loan.

    I'd purchase a bunch of balls like the ones you get in a ball pit and then fill up the entire house with them. Then I'd cut a hole in the roof so I could jump down into all of them and we'd play hide n seek.

    This!

    Also body peeling, massage, body wrap.

    For the rest of the money it's better to buy the best skin care.


    Or I'd buy a Gucci dress. There's one on sale right now, about this price, but it's size 38, too small for me.

    Or these Cristian Louboutin shoes http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524446596335

    I'd love these ones too but my calves are too big to fit into those :((( oh well, that's wh I'm ere too

    Clothes? :cry:

    ...but I already have like 3x that in pre-ordered things over the rest of the year so I wouldn't be able to buy anything else. (there's some t-shirts in there though!)
