I used to be in your shoes when I was really budgetting myself in order to afford the house. What I did to cut down on clothing expenses is geat all my dress clothes from Value Village. For $50 you could get 4 sets of long sleeve shirts and khakis. Every so often you get lucky and find someone that donated the stuff with the tags still on. Just be sure to check the condition of the elbows since those tend to wear down the fastest. I've been using my Value Village attire for the past three years and just two weeks ago finally went out and bought some new first-hand dress clothes from a store. Even then I only paid about $20 per shirt.
