<prompt> Human: I am just about to start a new job on January 8 with the police in my city working reception. Its only for 6 months and I need to impress!! Im using to making 16.60hr fulltime and will be bumped up to 23.30hr. To be frank, I am currently wearing jeans with holes in the thighs and a milk-stained shirt. Should I justify buying 2 or 3 very nice professional blouses female w big bust here or should I go to the thrift store?Bear in mind that this job is with the police meaning I must be immaculate as hell, I am representing the city I work for and not... Starbucks. How do I justify spending the money that I dont have if I go for quality... Should I dip into savings? Maybe boxing day sales will work out for me? Maybe I should consider getting thrift shop finds tailored to me?  <response>: Try to find nice clothes at the thrift store but if you need to then definitely spend money on professional clothing. Just make sure you know what you have to do to take care of them so they last long. Also consider buying things that arent so unique so you can wear them over and over again.
