I'm working at home today so wouldn't leave the house in this outfit!

Craghoppers thin fleece jacket probably around £15 as wouldn't pay more than that.
Freya bra £7 from eBay
Underwear from a multipack so probably £2 or so.

Good question, @Tobyjanet. I remember how much my boots were because I was really poor at the time - I clicked around every site that sold them all day on the Black Friday, until I found a pair for the £80 I'd saved up!

I’m really enjoying what I’m wearing today!

Blouse from Boden - think it was about £80 but I never pay full price for Boden so take 15-20% off!

Dungarees from Lucy and Yak - £45 (BNWT from Vinted).

Celtic and co boots - £225.

Today is :

Free People thermal top in sale - £35.
M&S wide leg sale jeans as before - £12.50.
M&S buckle teddy coat in beige - £70 odd.

Lazy day, mooching around at home today.

Popsy dress £39
Primark cardie £11

and to walk dogs also,
Amazon snowboots £28 (not the trendiest but oh so warm and comfy!)
New Look biker jacket £5 (Vinted)

About £15. Assume not underwear, tights, shoes

Today I am wearing a dress I bought about 10 years ago - I can't remember the price but I think in accountancy terms it should be written down to zero by now!

Magic pants £27
Sweatshirt ((Next) - £25
New Balance trainers - £110
Jacket (Scamp and Dude) - £139

Black Levis jeans (bought on my DD's student discount) so probably £60 ish.

Uniqlo long sleeve t-shirt several years old - guessing £20.

M&S pink chunky cardigan - £60

Bra £20, scants £5, socks (Primark) £2

Same Moshulu slippers as last night - £30, dunno they were a Christmas present.

So I think I'm saying £197.

It is interesting, I don't care about clothes at all. I buy everything in navy blue, charcoal gray or fire engine red because I pretty much exclusively buy supermarket clothes and think if the colours are all cohesive they look more put together.

I am very serious about jewellery though. I have some novelty pieces (I love a bit of plastic dinosaur or duck earrings).

This thread has inspired me a bit though and yesterday I bought some non-supermarket black jeans (£50) and a multicoloured woollen loose sweater which has a mulberry base (£28) and am wearing that today. It looks pretty good IMO!

Primark socks £2
Charity shop trousers £2
New look t.shirt £12

Bra £12

WFH, Zara blue v neck jumper approx £25, H&M grey long sleeved top, think £15-£20, M&S autograph black jeggings/leggings, at a guess £10 or so from EBay, old socks and new NB 327, £100 or more.

Joanie dress (yes, I love Joanie!) £34.50 in the sale

Free People cashmere cardi £50 BNWT from Vinted.

Seasalt woolly tights - think £10, but I did a 3 for 2 thing so maybe they were £6.66 (I have had tights on everyday, not been running around with bare legs in November, but this is the first time I thought to mention them).

Celtic and Co Boots - £225 - think my cost per wear is pretty good on these!

My son was at nursery today so I met with some friends and went out for lunch, it was really lovely 🥰

Blouse, Doen- £250ish
Jeans- H&M- £35
flat Mary Jane’s, Boden- £110
Wool coat- M&S- £70

I have a bag problem 😫

Shirt work (free)
Trousers are ancient m&s ones probably about £20.

BAM socks supposedly about a fivers worth now but again a few years old so may have been cheaper.
Bra £30
Most of the time the bra would be the most expensive piece of clothing on apart from...
Trainers... Still a bargain at £45 from the outlet store.

£100
A lot more than I thought actually

I would certainly enjoy your bag problem, @Isitfridayyetsophie!
Everything5pounds sells remaindered stock from high street and catalogue retail so the quality, while never high end, varies within the range you'd expect to find in everyday shopping. I did a big summer shop by starting with a search for 'cotton' and was happy with my finds.

They do returns the old-fashioned way: pack it up yourself with your proof of purchase, send it to their address yourself, and wait. I have always been refunded correctly.

They pitch it as a more ethical way to buy clothing, as well as (obviously) cheaper. The garments are getting another chance to be sold and worn, as opposed to going straight to some miserable dump.

@Garlicpest thank you, that’s really helpful! I saw some items that said “high street brand”, such a brilliant idea. It looks like you have to be quick though, none of my sizes were in stock! Saw
some nice fluffy slippers but alas not in my size. I’ve bookmarked it. And yes a bag problem is quite fun but I really don’t need any more and every time I type out the cost on this thread… well, it doesn’t make me feel good!

One of my lower days but it’s still far too high for what it is!

This thread has made me realise something I've never really clocked before: that my casual wardrobe is generally more expensive than my formal work/ party/ "dressing up" wardrobe, because I tend to buy it new rather than second hand.

I don't buy T shirts second hand because I find them either bobbly or just icky, I CBA trying to find jeans that fit well in a charity shop, I have two elderly North Face coats which I bought new and wear every day in the winter, and I buy my trainers new of course. The only exception is a couple of men's' lambswool sweaters from Save the Children for a tenner each which I've worn to death.

But it's easy to get tailored jackets, wool skirts, mint condition silk blouses, funky dresses, virtually unworn leather court shoes etc, from charity shops, and I can't resist them.

Today is a wfh day so I'm in the world's most boring outfit of M&S jeans, Uniqlo T shirt, M&S jumper, M&S loafers and my student DD's abandoned parka. Probably about 130 quid in all.
