My best fashion "accessory"-my VS bras and not because they're lacy(yuck!) but because they hold the ladies where they should be.

That's pretty much me, too, right down to the VS bra that I own (just one), though my boots come up to my knees. I basically wear one pair of jeans every day until they wear out, with a couple of pairs of other pants to wear on laundry days.
My one big "fashion" investment recently was a pair of low-heeled Camper shoes (Mary Janes) in Barcelona, and that was mostly because ktsp said they looked more "feminine," and I decided to take a chance. I guess one item that helps dress up almost any outfit is a long black wool coat, which is a staple of my cool-weather wardrobe... but those never go out of style, which is why I like them.
I just don't really pay much attention to trends/fashion, dunno if that's a good or bad thing, just the way I've always been.
I will say that my biggest clothing investments are in outdoors/hiking clothes, which is mostly a practical thing... but I suppose there is some "fashion" in outdoors clothing, just not based on aesthetics, more on functionality. I will heartily splurge out on hiking boots, rock climbing gear, fleece jackets, waterproof jacket and pants, hiking poles, merino wool socks, etc... because they are the best quality.
