OMG this is good, haha….

Love the Walmart underwear next to all the fancier jewelry! And also that the engagement ring is only $175!! Are you actually engaged or is it just cuz you love the ring?

Thanks for playing along… Might have to revive this post and do a current update :)

Yesterday was fairly cheap.

Beatles Junk Food tee: $15
Just My Size jeans: $20
Walmart underwear: $1.50
Walmart socks: $.50
Torrid Bra: $28
Blood Milk Talon necklace: $150
Blood Milk Engagement ring: $175
Casio digital watch: $30
Dr. Martens 1460 boots: $100
Marc Jacobs handbag: $60

Total: $580.00

Total without jewelry: $225.00

Those jeans are my least expensive, I usually wear Levi’s and that t-shirt is less expensive than I normally wear. I usually wear $20-$25 dollar shirts (mostly band tees). But I do also have shirts as low as $5.

My most expensive outfit would be:

Vintage Nirvana band tee: $60
Asos Leather jacket: $143
Torrid bra: $28
Walmart Underwear: $1.50
Levi’s jeans: $41
Hue socks: $3
Dr. Martens 1460 boots: $100
Cast of Vices bracelet: $50
Casio digital watch: $30
Blood Milk engagement ring: $175
Blood Milk Tarot necklace: $120
Blood Milk Labradorite necklace $220
Catbird diamond earrings: $88
Marc Jacobs handbag: $60
Vintage Coach wallet: $30

Total: $1,149.50

Total without jewelry: $466.50

I could swap out the shoes for more expensive ones like my $150 Bailey UGG’s or my $110 Nasty Gal heels but that wouldn’t match my outfit.

As you can tell I’m way too brand oriented but all my really expensive stuff has been gifted from others. All my jewelry is gifted. All those expensive shoes were gifted. The leather jacket was a gift. All handbags were gifted. The only time I really get clothes and jewelry is at Christmas and my Birthday and if I really, really need it for some reason.

Calvin Klein suit jacket (1/2 of $60 set so $30)
Express shirt on sale ($10)
Express pants ($60)
Socks from Nordstrom Rack ($3?)
Boots from Aerosoles on sale ($25)
Engagement ring (free to me!)
Gifted necklace (free to me!)
Gifted bracelet (free to me!)
Underclothes ($12 or so)

$140… not bad for a corporate attorney right? ;)

Random little piece of useless information, our oath was written by the same guy who wrote The Jungle Book.

Slightly unfair that I’m reading this on a Saturday, so I’ll post today and yesterday (a work day) totals.

Today – total of $2:
Sweatpants $0 (hand-me-downs)
T-shirt $0 (also hand-me-down)
Socks $1
Underwear $1

Yesterday – total of $39:
Pants $2 (from garage sale)
Polo shirt $1 (from garage sale)
Belt $12 (from Walmart)
Shoes $5 (from Goodwill)
Socks $1
Underwear $1
Wedding Ring $17 (replacement ring purchased on eBay since my original ring “shrunk”…)

Also, other than the undergarments, every other clothing item is 5 to 10 years old or older. Did I mention that I’m not really into clothes?

And since we’re talking budgets, our family’s “Clothing” budget only includes clothes for the kids and occasionally for the wife. My own clothes purchases come out of my discretionary spending, which means I don’t buy many clothes, ever!

@Ella – Haha, well that’s good! It seems those picks should last longer than other brands too, right? I bet it looks hot on :)
