Yup and that's exactly what I did. I bought the expensive CK and Tommy jeans and the Polo shirts with my own money (I was a 90s teen). My mom bought the Doc Marten's boots for me because she knew they'd last forever. I bought my own special expensive soccer cleats. She also bought me a nice Jan Sport backpack, but it was at the beginning of sophomore year and it was expected to last through the rest of school (and it did). Aside from that (and stuff like underwear and socks), I bagged groceries and refereed soccer to buy that kind of stuff on my own.
