When I was a child, I learned somewhat of a clothing mantra: Buy it on clearance, hand it down, repeat.
As the youngest of four girls, I quickly became familiar with "new to you." This was, generally, a practice I was fine with. My wardrobe did occasionally include a questionable piece from say, the mid-'70s (keep in mind I was born in 1984), but it was OK. And to be fair, I did get clothes now and then that weren't the pre-worn type.
My childhood "fashion" gave me the hand-me-down 
mentality. When I shop, it's usually a beeline to the clearance racks. While I'm willing to spend a bit more on things that will last, generally, I stick to the marked-down merchandise.
But every once in a while, the rebellious bug strikes me, and I find myself in the checkout line with a full-priced Anne Klein dress. (To my credit, it was full-priced at T.J. Maxx , but still.)
Sometimes I wonder if other folks have the same reaction after a frugal upbringing. Do you ever just get the urge to spend on something you usually are frugal with?
