Oh man lemme play.

Underpants/base layer t-shirt: like $10?
Shirt: $18 (Target)
Sweater: $45 (Dockers)
Jeans: $40 (Levi's)
Socks: $5 (Gap)
Shoes: $50 (Vans by way of Zappos.com)
Cap: $15 (Target)
Coat: $9 (Steve & Barry's)
Belt: $35 (interpunk.com)
Scarf: It's Rachel's scarf, so I dunno

And like Linds, I'm not counting glasses. I think they were somewhere in the $275-325 range, though.

Total: $207

(PS: Jon, try 520s)

Oh, if I include my coat, it bumps my clothing cost up another $100. That was one of my last major purchases, but it isn't a ridiculous decadency, as I really needed a new coat. Yay for almost knee length tweed coats!

Fuck you all, I greatly prefer the original idea of this thread, where I can say that within the next couple of months my floor in our residence hall intends to take limos off to a Brazilian steakhouse in Richmond, which will be awesome.

Also, fuck all if I know how much what I'm wearing costs -- a fair amount of my clothing is rather old.

I will break down today's outfit as well.

Sweater: $15 from Old Navy
Tank: $4, also Old Navy
Jeans: $15 from Plato's closet, originally $60 from The Limited
Boots: $8 from Payless
Necklace: $5, Plato's Closet again
Belt: Free (hooray friends!)
Bra/underwear: $15
Socks: Also free (hooray sister!)

So... $62 for an outfit that I must say looks much more expensive. If you add my outerwear that's $7 for the jacket, $1 for the gloves, and $0 for the bag, as it was a gift. But it's from Wilson's leather so it looks real nice.

How do your undergarments cost more than boots?

Anyway. Literally everything I'm wearing today aside from my boxers and socks is from a consignment shop on State Street in Madison. I got it all for about 15 bucks.

0bsessions · « **Reply #308 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 13:22 »

Bras. That's where they pass us on underwear pricing. My girlfriend can go out and get like six pairs of panties for what I'd pay for cheap boxers, but then the bras cost enough to make it all a wash, especially when they get nice ones. A non-boring bra will run a girl some pretty decent change.

Boots, meanwhile, can be gotten really fucking cheap at places like Payless (I dunno if they have those out there, but here in the US, Payless is serious business).

Liz · « **Reply #309 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 14:01 »

My bra was about $12, underwear therefore $3. The boots I wore today were on clearance and I used my employee discount as I work at a Payless store.

This is how you bargain shop.

Art isn't immune to criticism though.

If one can judge music, film, literature and so on, why should the sum of an outfit be any different?

True, but that doesn't mean all criticism is valid.

Liz · « **Reply #313 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:20 »

This bra is most definately not boring. I want it. However it is $50 and I cannot fathom spending that much on a bra. Well, it would be $40 with my discount but that's not much better.

Hat · « **Reply #314 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:33 »

Everything I am wearing right now cost $10 but thats just because I'm sitting here in my union jack boxer briefs.

Quote from: Objects inside Clouds on 16 Mar 2008, 21:44

My fashion is basically jeans, chucks, band tee, some hat, and a hoodie.

This is what I meant when I said I dress like a knob (sorry), except I don't wear hats unless I'm drinking.

Ladybug · « **Reply #315 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:36 »

Man, this thread is making me realize (again, but even more so) how fucking expensive this country is as opposed to the US. I get that we make more money etc, but it still sucks. $50 for a bra is pretty much what I'd expect to pay if I wanted something I knew would last me more than a few months and actually be comfortable. And $40 Levi's jeans? Damnit, $75 is considered to be cheap for jeans here - if I wanted something with a label anyone's actually heard of, I'd have to spend way more.

Patrick · « **Reply #316 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:38 »

I don't wear hats anymore unless they're those tight-fitting knit ones. I love those things. I have an awesome one from the GAP that my sister gave me for Christmas one year. It is blue with a red reindeer. If I can manage it, I will post pics.

And hey Ladybug at least you're not in a country where a pair of Levis costs like $120. How these people afford clothing at all...

Ladybug · « **Reply #317 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:40 »

$120 for a pair of Levi's sounds "reasonable" to me - in the sense that 120 and more is what I've seen Levi's cost here for the last few years. I know my cousin got a pair of Levi's at about $150, and they were on sale.

Patrick · « **Reply #318 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:49 »

I've always bought mine for like $50 or less, sometimes as far down as $20 (yay for 501s), and those are the exact same jeans that cost $120 here. Fuckin' ridiiiiiculous.

Now, if we were talking about raw organic denim with non-synthetic indigo I'd have no argument about $120 jeans. Those fuckers had better fit like God put them on me, though.

Ladybug · « **Reply #319 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 16:58 »

I just checked this Norwegian online store, which is sort of "normally priced", meaning they're not particularly cheap or particularly expensive, and a pair of stonewashed or black 501s were $137. Insaane, imo.

Which pretty much means I stick to the $75 jeans with random store-specific brands, at least for now. I really want nice looking jeans, though.

thehollow · « **Reply #320 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 17:09 »

I can't justify paying more than like $30.00 for the jeans at old navy. I can't imagine ever spending $100.00 or more on a pair of pants, or almost any other article of clothing, for that matter. Excluding shoes, the most I think I've ever paid for a single article of clothing was a $50.00 pair of dockers (the stain defender pants are so much fun) I bought for work.

pen · « **Reply #321 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 17:20 »

I'm gonna do the whole outfit breakdown too...

Bra - H&M, $14.90
Panties - H&M, $5.90 (matched the bra)
Socks - Walmart, about $2
Brown slacks - Deb, $8 (sale)
Black jersey shirt - Old Navy, $9 (sale)
Brown ankle boots - Payless, $13 (sale)
Guess watch - gift from Macy's, retail $88

All in all, not bad, I think...

I spent 20 bucks on my last pair of jeans (australian) but then again they look like dogshit and make me look like I have a hard on whenever I sit down.

I kind of want to buy a pair of nice jeans, but its not like I go out anywhere nice anyway.

thehollow · « **Reply #323 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 17:30 »

suppose I could do the outfit thing too.

Shirt: $4, Ragstock
Sweatshirt: $20.00, old navy
Jeans: $25.00, old navy

boxers: $4.00
sandals: $12.00

VS bras tend to average at about $40. They are definitely worth it. True, you can get things on sale that are pretty decent and cute and stuff, but honestly the only bras I have ever worn that were as comfortable and fit me as well as VS bras were from a specialist tailor who does only women's undergarments. So that is like one bra ever.

I have four of them and they are the best things to happen to my boobs in a long time. Inanimate things, I mean.

I miss that thread, it was like a cool criss-cross of the Photowhore thread and the one with cool outfits like we have now.

I'm not doing the "how much money am I wearing right now" because it is a fucking stinking hot day so I'm just wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #331 on:** 17 Mar 2008, 22:08 »

Why do I get the feeling Khar is going to regret his most recent drunken posting session?

Jeans: $2-20 (not sure where I got these)
T-Shirt: $30 (most expensive one I have, got it at a hard rock cafe)
Hat: $30 (Driver's cap from the mall, almost permanently affixed to my head)
Boots: $100 (military surplus paratrooper boots, non-surplus costs $200-$250)
Socks: $5 for 8
Underwear: $5 for 6
Jacket: $50 (brown duster coat, I wear it whenever I can, doubt it will be good for 90 degree summer weather though)

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #334 on:** 18 Mar 2008, 01:08 »

The last bras I bought it was buy one get one half off, and the total came to $80. I basically will ONLY wear VS bras, because I have huge boobs and I won't wear a bra that's not lightly lined (to avoid being used as a thermometer).

This bra is really cute and not boring.

Apparently at some party on Saturday this boy was teasing me about being poor. He was trying to be mean, I think, but it was just funny because I AM poor. As for decadence, I got a new mattress that will hopefully be wonderful with my back.

We don't have Hot Topic in Austraila. What is it?

Nodaisho · « **Reply #341 on:** 18 Mar 2008, 02:59 »

It is... Not really sure what to say, it is a store aimed mainly (from what I can tell) at mallgoths and emos, I was not meaning to insult the store, I have actually got an Iron Maiden shirt from there, it was cheaper than any online store I had seen. Most of the merchandise I wouldn't ever even consider buying, but they do have stuff from a few decent bands.

I was merely saying that from my experience, people tend to be pretty damn negative about the place.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #342 on:** 18 Mar 2008, 03:01 »

Yes we do actually. There's only one that I know of and that's in campbelltown.

Think Dangerfield, or Holy Moley. They would be the best equivalents I could think of but I don't know how many of those there are outside of Sydney (though I'm sure there are Dangerfields in Melbourne).

normz · « **Reply #343 on:** 18 Mar 2008, 03:05 »

not enough thats ridiculous!!!!!!!! .... i want to hear some decadence and I'm going to start

- Dress $230 (It's a corporate style dress that it beautifully tailored and is fully lined from Cue)
- Suit Jacket $270 (again corporate and fully lined in an amazing fabric from Italy)
- Bra $120, Panties $50, Stockings $25 (ok so normally this would not account for that much but today I'm wearing Pleasure State lingerie cause I can)
- Boots $350 (knee high cream suede)
- Handbag $175 (guess bag)
- Silk scarf $300 (It's hermes and I had to fight for it on ebay)

and I'll be nice and not count my DKNY watch or pearl necklace and earrings that I'm wearing along with 3 rings (all of which have either sapphires or diamonds on them) and I'm also not counting my reading glasses or even taking into account the fact that even the lipstick I'm wearing costs more than some peoples entire outfits

i still end up on $1500 of ridiculous decadency right here on my body...... and you know what i love it cause i know i look amazing and it makes me feel happy so thats all that matters

Fuck me, I wish I had that sort of money to spend on anything, let alone clothes. I feel slightly ill.

Uh. I'm in my work uniform? It's probably the most expensive outfit I own.

Black t-shirt $30 for two at Dotti
Black slacks $79.95 plus $15 of custom tailoring at Portmans
Bra $40 at BNT, boyshort knickers $10 at Kmart, red socks $3 at Big W
Doc Marten 8-holes (falling apart) $180 at Rock Shop six years ago
Leather Watch (falling apart) $110 at Fossil three years ago

cupcakeonastick · « **Reply #349 on:** 18 Mar 2008, 10:28 »

My turn!

Blue jeans from Old Navy - $29
Brown tank top from Old Navy - $8
Maroon peasant blouse from Old Navy - $20
Black lace bra and undies from Target - $20
Red dangly earrings from Target - $8
Black flip flops from Target - $8

TOTAL = $93

and for work I'll be switching out the pants and the flip flops for:

Brown corduroy pants from Maurices (I loooove these) - $30
White converse - $35
White socks - $1

TOTAL = $122

all of my outfits are fairly interchangeable and thus, remain around the $100 mark. And I'll basically wear something until it disintegrates on my body.
