new clothes

So after getting my first full doctor wage with an on-call supplement in 30 months (40% more than my generous research doctor basic wage) I went out and bought some new clothes today. I haven't bought any new clothes for nearly 3 years and I was starting to look a bit like a tramp.

I picked up a new pair of Levis (75 quid), a shirt (50 quid) and a top (40 quid). It's all nice stuff but when did clothes get so expensive? Is it VAT or have prices just shot up over the past year?

Anyway, I'm happy to be looking a bit less trampy.
