    i love this question

    shirt - kd 40 reasonable but would pay up to 70 if its slimming and original…

    handbag - 400 but im finding myself less attracted to the expensive brands these days… since everyone owns them… my recent favourite purchase was a jamen peuch and it satisfied a craving for a new bag…

    evening dress - KD 1000 max

    shoes - kd 250

    most i paid for a couple evening dresses at 950 - ouch since since dont like them that much anymore… 7asafa…

    I second Kharbota
    I never set that ceiling! lel asaf ya3ni!! I follow my budget and taste.. and then decide if I really wanna buy it or not. I just started buying my own things when I started work last year… so far my highest purchase (that I actually made myself not mom or dad heehee) was around KWD 400-500 for a handbag!

    an evening dress? I don’t like dresses but an outfit would be around 200 (whole thing with accessories)

    It seems that most girls rathar spend more money on evening dresses, I don’t. Why? you spend all this money on an evening dress that you only get to wear few times. I rather spend my money on bags, shoes or day dresses.

    This has really turned into an interesting discussion. Thanks everyone for participating! If you can, try to get more people to share because I’d love to know what everyone’s price threshold is.

    So far the most someone has spent on a Shirt is 250 KD.
    -Handbag 650 KD
    -Evening Dress 2500 KD
    -Shoes 350 KD

    Most expensive purchase: Wedding dress for 880-990 KD

    I’d have to agree with shopa, I can’t spend that much money on an evening dress if I’m going to wear it a maximum of 3 times (if that!). I also can’t spend that much money on my shoes because I am merciless to my shoes and feel bad paying so much money for something I destroy so easily :(
