I don't think this can be answered without more details & context, but in general I would say IMO neither spouse should have to discuss small/routine purchases with the other. The exact definitions of "small" and "routine" are going to be different from couple to couple depending on their situations.

If you're going to say "very expensive," then I assume it's an amount that probably needs some discussion. I personally wouldn't give my wife a gift that cost so much that the expense would bother her, but sometimes this can be a gray area. Would she like to have a 52" LCD television? You better believe it. But I'm pretty sure she'd be too hung up on the price to really enjoy it. So I'd say it's definitely possible to buy an outfit that, however sexy, costs too much to be comfortable.

Edit: Just to point out the obvious, that Cloud said "sexy".. not "expensive."
