"An interesting report in today&amp;#x27;s WWD says that college students are cutting back their spending on apparel, and instead investing in things like computers, cell phones, and MP3 players. It made me wonder...what did you spend more money on this year? Okay, so I&amp;#x27;ve been out of college for a few six plus years now, but I decided to compare myself with the kids in question anyway. This was an unusual year for me with electronics--my clunky old laptop finally died and I invested in a shiny new MacBook, I lost my camera at a bar on Halloween and was forced to replace it, and I had to get a new Blackberry after dropping my old one in a martini (yeah, really. And yeah, I had insurance, but the $50 deductible counts too!). Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! And then there were my wardrobe purchases: A new pair of Louboutins. A Marc by Marc Jacobs winter coat. A little shopping spree in Amsterdam, and oops, another pair of Louboutins from the sample sale...and an embarrassingly high number of last minute trips to H&amp;amp;M, Zara, and Forever 21. And okay, I&amp;#x27;ll be honest, a buuuunch more things I totally forgot I even bought. In the end, there were actually no surprises at all: I spent more on my wardrobe than I did on electronics, even with the new computer and camera. How about you dolls? Did you hew closely to this report&amp;#x27;s findings and splurge more on gadgets than you did on clothes this year? Did you make any major purchases of the flat screen TV variety? Or maybe you invested in an insane pair of designer shoes for the first time? What did you spend more on this year, fashion or gadgets?
