I was 16 and with my very first pay check I bought a new bikini and a cute pair of pink moccasins.

Only the bikini and a full pic with only the moccasins or, if you prefer, knee high boots.

Knee high boots? Oooh, that's lovely. I'll go put both on and clean my house in that get-up. Hubby will be thrilled.

I bought a portable radio from my first job. That was in 1952 and transistors hadn't yet been developed, so it had valves and was BIG. It eight about 20 lbs (around  9 kg) and half of that weight was the batteries. But I loved that radio and carried it everywhere.

@Superfly: It was certainly different. There were lots of good things, and lots that weren't so good. Anybody born recently and time-travelling back could expect a bit of culture shock. :)

@Tom: My memory isn't quite that good, but they were certainly whoppers.
