Ok, after reading this article, I was kind of interested. So I took inventory of what I'm wearing and decided to figure out how expensive my outfit is today:jeans: $19.99 - from Cato (one of 2 pairs I own)
tank top: $9.99 (on sale) - ditto
button-up shirt: $9.99 (also on sale) - Cato again (can you tell I love that store?)
belt: $7 - ditto
unmentionables: $1 (Wal-mart) and $17.99 (Target - but again, one I wear every day)
hairclip: $3.99 WalMart
jewelry: earrings $5, WalMart
socks: $1.50 Target
Skechers: $39.99 (sale) and once again, I wear them every day
so far, $116.44 for my clothes (which is actually a little more than I expected...)
if you add in the accessories I always take with me, my cell phone, which I think was about $150, and my purse, which was a $5 find from Savers, and my diaper bag, which was a gift from a friend but let's say it cost $20, which is all I would spend on a diaper bag, I'm up to...
(hang on, crunching numbers....)
(ok, just kidding, I am using the computer's calculator!)
$291.44 to dress me and get me out the door. Wow, I'm expensive! At least that feels bad to me. And yet, it is not quite 1/5 of what they're saying the average woman in the UK wears every day. Yikes!
Of course, if you add in my most important accessories, namely...
Joseph
James
and Gabriella
well, let's see, they cost about $2000 apiece just for hospital/midwife fees while being born, then add in all the diapers, wipes, clothes, food over the last 3 years....
I am probably pushing more like 10K. Yup, I guess I am one expensive woman!
Sorry, honey. ;-)
