I think clothing is a good idea but I think saving money is also important. What you should do is set up a new bank account with a different bank and don't get a card for it (or if you do give it to your dad - if anyone'll keep it safe, it's him.) Deposit a certain amount of your pay each month into it (say 10 - 20%) and the rest you earn is food and clothes money. If you don't have enough money for clothes then save up for next pay - you are a really good saver from what I remember!
I know this is hard to do and I'm rather guilty of it too. I mean I earn too much money to be broke every time it's finally payday so from next month I'm going to be a really good girl and deposit that money into my other account.
As far as choosing clothes, I think once in a while you should practice your sewing skills. Buy a pattern (make sure you ask for it in your size because they do have them!) and ask for advice. Yeah this can be a bit expensive and what if you screw up - if you do, turn the cloth into an accessory to pin to clothes you already have. Practice makes perfect, right? Now if only I'd practice some Go and drawing - hmm think I'll do that today. ^_^
