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.

Pants - 50p - Primark multipack
Socks - 50p +50p - unmatching cheap sports socks (I have lost the matching partners)
Bra - £20 - Bravissimo
Jeans - £20 - Love Label
Under t-shirt - £2.50 - Primark or Internacional
T-shirt - free - hockey club (not a make, I play hockey)
Hoodie - £15 - hockey club
Trainers - £50 - can't remember

So that adds up to £109.

I also wore my watch which cost about £100 for my 18th birthday.

posey · 30/08/2010 22:13

Jeans - £10 in Next sale
T-shirt - £5 M&S

so about £44 I guess
