Think about it. If someone who doesn't know you would be describing you, what would they say? How would they evaluate you? How would you want them to perceive you? If you want to you can ask your family and friends, but remember that they already know you pretty well, so they look at you differently than someone who meets you for the first time.
So think about what you are saying by your appearance, clothing and manners.
I definately think that you should spend a good deal of money to buy quality shoes and quality clothing. Not only to look smart but to feel confident! Buy a pair of good quality timeless shoes that go with almost anything and you never have to be aware of you achy feet or shabby shoes in an important meeting and you can focus on what is really important. The same goes for a couple of smart suits (or other clothing, if you're working on another industry), socks, jewellery, watch and most importantly underwear!
Also get a low haircut that is easy to maintain, short or long, it's up to you, but keep it so that it doesn't steal the attention even if grows out a little and if there's a rainy day and no umbrella..
Ask yourself do you feel like the person you want to be? Do others see you as you would want them to see you? A good quality basic wardrope can make a world of difference to your confidence and your appearance, but go with it as you can afford it. The first suit and a pair of shoes you should buy no matter what. Buy them with your first salary or even use your credit card if you must, but the rest you should save for first! Buying good quality clothing is definately an investment on your self and your career, but you never ever invest on high interest credit such as credit cards or other loans as such!
