Best items to buy?

I'm finally at the point where I have most of the cheaper gear from the bazaar, and I'm saving up for the more expensive items that cost hundreds of echoes. What's a good order to purchase those big ticket items?
Obviously I can compare stats, but some items are necessary for storylets or unlock cards. And some items may be made obsolete by quest rewards before long.

The three slots for BDR equipment you will have to buy (assuming you're already someone who needs to care about notability) are Hat, Gloves (oops! Forgot this) and Boots. Everything else can be gained in game in some fashion (or through fate).
(Eventually you'll almost certainly want an Overgoat or its older brothers. But you don't need it up from for +2 BDR as there's another way to obtain that. )

I recommend not buying ANYTHING! Hoard EVERYTHING and then sell it all much, much later. Trust me, sitting on a pile of cash is much more satisfying than having some gear that, for the most part, isn't even necessary. Plus, that way you'll be able to spend money freely if you find out you actually need to buy something specific.

In my opinion, The best equipment to buy when your starting to have a surplus of funds are hats, gloves or boots that have a Bizarre Dreaded or Respectable quality (the are better BDR equipment for the other categories) and check the item of your tier 5 profession. After that get equipment of what ever stat you need.
