I'd honestly save your money and buy items you know you're going to wear awhile. Monks can get by with pretty weak gear - weapons and getting a haste item are going to be your top priorities.
6/65 rings (or 5/55 if youre on a budget) are a good option as well.
Back in classic my monk was still rocking some regular newbie cloth items during my first planar raid, so you can really get by with garbage gear for quite awhile. With how small the market is for low end items on this server, any plat you sink into lower end items is going to be a worse investment than saving up for something decent you can eventually resell.
I'd probably snag some rings, maybe round out whatever empty slots you have with some cloth or cheap cure silk, and then start saving up for an FBSS or decent weapon. Just collect items that drop while you're leveling and use those until you can afford more long term items.
If you're not familiar with items you should be aiming for, use the wiki. The monk page will have some era specific load outs, and you can always use the equipment search as well. I'd suggest ordering searches by STA or HP, and of course be mindful of the item weight.
