    Wedding dress - £900 - worth every penny! :D
    Real wolf pelt coat - £no idea - it's antique and from Russia - I don't like wearing it but it's been inherited and so I'm loathe to get rid of it... It's apparently quite old and has been passed down my step mothers family... was it worth it? Certainly not for the poor wolves :cry:

    By the way, FairyShazza - I love the idea of that yellow dress for an Italian wedding. Very Dolce Vita! I hope you paired it with a floaty white headscarf and bold sunglasses :) - and preferably arrive on a Vespa!

    I can't recall the MOST expensive, but as a massive Irregular Choice fan, I have almost 300 pairs of them, which have almost all been ebay finds - some bargains, some pretty expensive - most of them worn, and the few pairs that I haven't worn have been ebayed...

    Me too, I love those shoes. Always get compliments and the weirder/different the better :beer::j:D

    £120 river island suit

    wore it for the interview for the job i have now, so worth it

    i dont do expensive clothes, i'm a bloke
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)
    BH is my best mate too, its ok :)

    I trust BH even if he's from Manchester.. ;)

    all your base are belong to us :eek:
  • Think mine is a coast dress I bought for my brothers wedding last year at £165. I got everyone I could to give me House of Fraser vouchers for Christmas so I didn't end up spending that much on it. I lost 4 stone in order to fit into it and am wearing it for another wedding this weekend. It was definitely worth it!

    My other extravagence is my £125 Rigby and Peller underwear set I got my OH to give me for Christmas last year. I adore it even if the pants were £50!! Definitely wortth it to me as I feel a million dollars when I know I am well dressed underneath!

    The singular most expensive thing in my wardrobe is my Hermes Birkin, which was a 30th birthday present from my parents. I didnt recieve it until was was nearly 32, because it took so long to make.

    In terms of bags, I also have a Chanel 2.55, a Balenciaga Lariat, and a Marc jacobs Stam, as well as various Lulu Guiness pieces.

    Ive got a vast collection of shoes, including my YSL Tributes, and quite a few pairs of Manolos...


    Most expensive item of clothing though has to be the Vivienne Westwood ball gown that my parents (again!) bought me when I graduated...


    Im pretty lucky in that my old job meant I got to 'borrow' a lot of high end pieces, but even now, you'd never catch me in some old Peacocks piece of tat. I'd rather save my money, and buy good quality pieces once or twice a year.

    If only I had a daughter I could pass them all on to!
    You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....
