Wow, what a great thread! I'm afraid to do this, but we'll see. I didn't go out today, so this was my lunch outfit yesterday:

Design History cashmere sweater from BlueFly, $50
Some random cream cami from Nordstrom Rack, $15
Charter Club Jeans from Macy's, $30
Cole Haan flip flops from Dillard's, $60
Hobo International clutch from Amazon, $20
LeSportSac wallet from Endless, $30
Pink coral necklace (free as this was a gift, but it doesn't carry a high retail value anyway)
(Not counting wedding ring or sunglasses as I wear those everyday)
Grand total: $205

Ok, I can live with that.

White jeweled tank - $35
F21 white lace tee - $15
Aritzia Talula black skirt - $60
Aldo silver sandals - $30
K2 (HK brand) paint splatter tote - $20?

I think about this a lot. I also think about cost per wear a lot.

Jeans - $17 (thanks torrid clearance rack)
Joe Strummer t shirt - $22
Old Navy flip flops - $5
Undies - Lane Bryant's 5/$25, bra $25
Leather Coach Carly - I paid $370 although that's not what it retails for (got it on PCE a year or so ago)

The most expensive item on me on any given day is always my bag because I only have a couple and they're all around that price. I have no idea how much any of my jewelry cost because all of it was gifted to me. Also, being plus sized cuts down on clothing spending because I can only shop at like three stores

This is a lot like my thread in the wardrobe section. If interested....come and check it out! It is all about how much your outfit cost (the cheaper the better!!)
What a Fabulous Outfit....and it only cost....
Mine today is an anomoly for me, as almost everything that I buy is thrifted. Today, I am actually wearing a MW top for H&M that I paid OVER retail for. I think it is the first time I have ever done that!

Matthew Wiliamson shirt- $90 Ebay
Wrangler "boyfriend" jeans- @$20
Jessica Simpson shoes- $90 Macy's

At work today - and my outfit is slightly more expensive..

Givenchy Jacket - $500
Old Stockings - $5
Christian Louboutin Insectikas - $180 on sale
Fendi Skirt - $180 on sale
Banana Republic shirt - $20
YSL Muse II Handbag - $450 ebay
Rayban Wayfarers - $80 sale
Chanel Wallet - $650

As said earlier though - I don't feel too bad about the expensive items because I do use my handbag, sunglasses and wallet every single day. I also wear my Givenchy jacket every single week.

On a daily basis, the most expensive things that I wear are my glasses (I paid an obscene amount for the frames + nice lenses) and jewelry (gifts from family). Excluding those things, my handbag is usually the most expensive thing that I wear/carry. Today:

James Perse dress $70
JCrew black leather knee-high boots $110
Botkier Christie satchel $200
Hayden Harnett clutch wallet $90

Like much of my wardrobe, today's clothes & bag were bought on sale. :)

I'm lounging around at home right now, but will be heading to a Twins vs. Red Sox game in a couple hours. Just about everything in my wardrobe was on sale/clearance... I don't often buy regular priced items, unless it is something that never goes on sale.

- grey t-shirt from Pacific Sunwear $1.50 on clearance!
- Victoria's Secret PINK sweatpants $25 on sale
- black flip flop sandals from J. Crew $9.99 on sale
- MN Twins baseball cap from Target $15.99
- Louis Vuitton Damier Neverfull GM bag
