Wow,
This sounds familiar! I have more shoes than any other man I know. Most
of them cost at least $100, but none of those are suitable for daily wear!
My regular shoes are cheap and I wear them untill I just can't get away with
it anymore. Sometimes beyond that. People often dont recognize me out of
costume because I dress well in period, but shabbily out! I actually have
just started spending some money to amend that, but it is money that I have
been forced to spend out of embarrassment.
I wonder how common this is on this list?

And then there's the strange folks like me--I'll buy the cheap modern
clothes so I can spend my limited "leisure" time doing what I
love--historical sewing. I don't get any emotional "charge" out of running
up a modern blouse on the serger, but lots of fulfillment in doing fussy
work on a period project.
My time is limited and so are my resources, so I like to spend both
judiciously.
