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.

Work uniform. Cost about £20? Shoes were from Clarks for £55.

thatsnotmymonkey · 30/08/2010 20:56

I think the vast majority of us are rather under the £250 mark. Good. I knew the DM was talking its usual stinking pile of horse crap.

However, in winter I guess it will be a different story....

As you will note although these items added ££££ to the look they didn't exactly enhance the look!
