For something like that, no, I wouldn't pay that much.
But for Lolita, I'm willing to pay the price for high-quality and good design.
I'm about to drop ~$130 for a blouse, for example.
If it's one-of-a-kind that you can't really get without buying brand, then I'm willing to pay the amount.
If you can get near the same thing [same quality, similar design] for cheaper, then I'm all over it.
Meh, my whole "Tanzania" excursion set is from LL Bean! Its pretty awesome, I even told my dad it was unnecessary, but he was like
"IF IM SENDING YOU OFF TO AFRICA FOR 3 WEEKS YOUR GOING TO HAVE THE BEST EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE OK!!?!?!" sweatdrop
I'm not paying any more than $40 for a sweater, skirt, or pair of jeans. I'm not paying more than $30 for a top. I'm not paying more than $50 for a pair of shoes, and I"m not paying more than $80 for a jacket.
I will look at something, decide in my head how much I would pay for it tops, then I look at price tag and if It matches price or is lower, I try it on
I will pay about whatever for something I think is unique and fits my style
