I am fascinated by other peoples clothes so I love the threads where everyone goes into detail of what they wore. I would also like everyone to tot up the cost, as I am really nosey and also I still think about that Daily Mail article that the average woman has £250 of clothes on her back.

Blue straight leg jeans-£40, River Island
white vest £4-Asos
Green tropical fruit sandals-£1-Primark
Grey Waterfall cardi-£60-Whistles

So £105, pretty good I think. This does not include accessories, as I my sunnies and bag would push me over the £250 mark.

ragwort I know what you mean, I am so interested in what women will spend on clothes. When I was younger I would spend hundreds at the weekend in the shops and not really bat an eye, but now I have a mortgage, a DS and well, I like lovely things, but bargains is where it is at for me.

I once got a hand knitted cashmere and angora wooly jumper from Selfridges for £9!! It was over £150 full ticket price. God I love a good sale!
