Well-worn (adj) showing the signs of extensive use or wear

Splurge on (phrase) spend a lot of money on something
Break the bank (phrase) ruin one financially, exhaust one’s resources

Button-up shirt (phrase) shirt with buttons closed tightly
Tuck in (phrase) to put the end of something such as a piece of clothing under or behind another piece in order to
