This question brings back great memories of my childhood and crazy teen years. I grew up with four sisters ahead of me so most everything was hand-me-downs, and whatever my parents deemed appropriate with their money or allowance. Then came my first job and with that -- my first paycheck--- This girl went shopping with no need for parental approvals. I bought a beautiful two piece skirt set. The top was off the shoulders with a deep ruffle in a pseudo tropical print, a matching full gather skirt down to my ankles. I also bought shoes for this skirt set and, to this day, are killer!! 5" pointy toe set off with thin leather bows in bone color. Got a purse to match. And yes, 40 years later I still have it. Classics never go out of style. It just meant so much to me that I worked and bought it with my own money.
