what are the most expensive things you have bought for every day wear and did you get your moneys worth?

[indiasmum]

just being nosey!

mine are-
cacharel coat (from la redoute)- v cool and colourful, always gets commented on- sadly now looking more shabbyu than chic £280 worth every penny

ghost dress £90 reduced from £180. i only bought it a coupl of weeks ago but it makes me feel more sexy and fabulous than anything i have ever worn ever ever ever. want more now though!

ugg boots £140 the comfiest and warmest foot attire on the planet yet still look slightly trendy in them if a wee bit behind the times.

all brilliant brialliant buys but expensive for me (not including ball type dresses). yet i have wasted hundreds and hundreds on cheapo tat i have never worn

i dont wear all three together though. noone could pull that look off except perhaps kate moss

Me too for uggs!

Boots from Duo (about £110, I think) - but the only ones that have fitted my humongous calves. Have had them 2 years, worn them loads, and anticipate them lasting at least a couple more years.

Marc Jacobs bag.

To be fair, I used it every single day when I was working in London, and it is also scrummy, it is the one in Devil Wears Prada, if anyone has seen it, the one whatserface gives to her mate.

I am too embarrassed to say how much it was, but I paid half and DH paid half as my birthday pressie.

oooh flowerybeanbag am sosososos

but you know, price per wear and all that..... prob the same as buying a tatty old one from primark every week for a few (ahem) years...

Indeed.

Camper shoes. They were half-price (shoudl have been £100) but I have worn them virtually every day for 2 years, they feel like soft slippers and still look quite funky (for me!). I would shell out full-price for another pair of Camper's if I was in love with them.

god am trying to think of something I have paid a lot for.........

nope I am too cheap.

Did get a lovely suede jacket(denim jacket style) reduced from £165 to £35 and is so fab I would pay full price to replace it.

Oh Oh ,just remembered ,russel and bromley ankle boots,expensive for me ,but well worth it as have worn them loads for about 3 yrs nnow

My MBT's. They cost £133 but I wear them nearly every day and are brilliant for improving your posture and consequently my back problem has eased off a lot.

Marc Jacobs winter coat.... TOO ASHAMED TO EVEN REMIND MYSELF OF THE PRICE!

My O'Neill fleeces - much better quality than cheaper fleeces and really warm. Deffo worth the expense.

..ralph lauren evening dress

oooohhh
I bought a lovely winter coat in a boutique not far from me, set me back £275.

A handbag for £250 - such wonderful leather, totally in love 2 years later...

It is not a habit, I am usually quite modest in my own clothing choices, but now and then I see something and I MUST HAVE IT.

Which Ghost dress, IM? I have two pairs of Ghost trousers which would fall into the category of "eyewateringly expensive but really worth it" as I have worn them most weeks since I bought them, including through most of my pregnancy. I have had to replace the elastic in the waist as my giant mega-bump stretched it so much though.
Also Camper boots and Russell and Bromley boots and a Mulberry handbag, worth every penny.

Ugg boots-looks like wearing cornish pasties on your feet!

God I feel cheap - my most expensive was a £60 coat, closely followed by £55 bras.

If my boots hadn't been in a sale they would have been £160 - but they were and were about £40 by the time I got them

Dr Marten boots (not the bovver boy ones - the knee high zip up the back ones)

Worth every penny of the $300 I paid. I've worn them every day and they still look brand new.

A windproof coat - very handy in NZ and now 8 years old and still looking brand new. Again it was around $300.

fenn wright manson cardigan that I wear alllll winter - long chunky knit in very dark green that doubles for a coat. have had it for 5 years. paid £125.

Prada sunglasses, which were approx £250. They are soo much more comfortable than cheaper ones & have lasted for years.

Another vote for Camper shoes, the most comfortable footwear ever, also Duo boots as my calves are like tree trunks work suits from Jigsaw also well worth the money
