I second this.

I've done it two ways: clung to clothes that were the size I've wanted to be, and I've also donated them and gone shopping when I've lost weight. The latter has been a happier option for me. The guilt of seeing the stuff in the closet didn't help motivate me.

I think that's a lot to spend on any item of clothing, but then when I think about it, I spend that much on a biking shirt and shorts that I won't be wearing several times a week (depending on how good you are about doing laundry!). So, if it's a fabulous bra, maybe it's not all that much. All depends on perspective, I guess!
