If you can splurge on one piece of clothing or accessory, what would it be? Would it be shoes, a nice piece of jewelry, or a fancy messenger bag?

I'd buy some new shoes. Something not black or brown (red?)

A good jacket.

I would buy the perfect little black dress, so it would never go out of style and I would always have something to wear that is versatile. Just add accessories.

I would buy a good sturdy pair of leather soled shoes. I have some that I have had for years, re-soled once. They're very comfortable and seem like they will last forever.

I would buy a high quality handbag. One that goes with anything and can be worn day or night... probably black with silvertone hardware.

I would splurge on a dark suit. One great suit can be useful for a wide array of functions, from weddings to funerals and job interviews to fancier dates.

Also, it's something a guy can put on, look in the mirror, and feel instantly empowered and as confident as ever. Even that little boost can make the difference between an effective day and a defeating one.

If I had to pick just one, it would be a good pair of shoes. Something that would go with everything and even though I love the look of heals, I would get a flat because I never really wear the heals much. And they would have to be leather.

As much as I love handbags and shoes for me, I would get shoes for my twelve year old son who is about to have the same age and shoe size. He needs all new shoes - athletic, dress, casual...

I would buy a nice winter coat. A black wool one. I love coats.
