How much does your outfit cost?

Re: How much does your outfit cost?

    Okay, if you have a handbag that's over $500, can you tell me what kind?  I'm not judging.  Many bags on my "lust" list are well over $1000, but I've never been able to get past the Big Names (LV, Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga, etc.) to discover something unique.

    So I'm just wondering what y'all have and how you like them. No flames. Promise!

    Mine is an LV.  And a wallet to match.  I love them both and am about to ebay them so I can get a new model.  I've had mine almost 3 years.

    I don't think the handbag should count.  Mine is a mortgage payment. 

    But see this totally works with handbags. The price range on here is from $20 to $3000 (and AshlyM's mystery price Wink). So your handbag totally gets to count!

    Wedding rings skew things, though. (I hope I'm not offending anyone with this, but) I think most wedding rings average over $500, and in many cases add thousands to the total. The jewelry number in the article is $500, which definitely does not sound like it's including wedding rings.

    I think the point is that you're supposed to count your wedding/e- ring.

    My outfit today including all jewelry and handbag would be about $1200 probably.  Not counting what's in the handbag.

    But ditto everyone else - my actual clothing is not expensive at all.

    Now I am curious what's in your handbag!?! an expensive wallet perhaps?

     

    Ha, sadly no.  I do have a banana in there today though. :)

    Mine is an LV.

    Ditto, mine is also LV.

  • Shirt - $20

    Bra - $40

    Shorts - $30ish

    Shoes - $20

    Panties - $20

    Earrings - $900 (Tx Bride's purse made me brave enough to post this!) Smile

    Purse - $400

    $1430ish... that doesn't include wedding ring or engagment ring I'm wearing.

    ETA:  I just read thruogh the thread and saw it should include wedding/engagement rings... that takes me up a lot... between 8-10k. 

  • Mine is my Birkin because I never switched it out after I used it to travel the other weekend.  As day to day bags go, TX-Bride has me beat by a lot!  My most expensive "everyday" bag was $1500ish.

  • MrsAJL - check out Mulberry.  All of the bags I've seen you with always have really pretty leather.

    I've recently become a Cole Haan fan. They make very nice leather handbags at a good price.  The only downside is that they can get really heavy.

    I'll check out Mulberry. I also really like Tod's.  I'm a preppy at heart, I think. :) lol
