During the 'drama' over the weekend (our neighbours breaking up in a violent and revengeful way...) It was revealed that my neighbours like expensive clothes. For example, he owns a pair of £240 Diesel Jeans (which she threw into the mud and tapped danced on them) and She owns a pair of £290 D&G shoes (which she gave to us to 'guard with our lives). I also recall our receptionist telling me that her handbag cost just under £900.
Now the most expensive piece of clothing I've ever bought for myself was £60 on a pair of shoes (and I wouldn't wear them for months incase they got dirty, which kind of isn't the point...), but I have justified spending £450 on a guitar before now.

So, what is the most expensive piece of clothing you own? Is it normal to spend a stoopid amount on clothes or am I just a big meanie? (piss off Cat...)

Ok.

Well, I haven't owned any expensive clothing lately, but in the past I have paid £450 for a dress which I only wore once - and no, it wasn't even my wedding dress (that only cost £200).

I had a gorgeous leather Chanel handbag which I paid £380 for, but it lasted me 15 years.

I bought a black wool coat in Selfridges for £250 in 1986 which I still wear every winter. Its back in fashion now, too!

See, expensive can often be the best way to go.

I bought a pair of Ray Ban Tortoiseshell Wayfarers in 1990 for £80. I'm still wearing them, so on average they've worked out at less than £5 per year. They're pretty much indestructible! It certainly worked out cheaper than my husband buying a £10 pair every year and then breaking them by the end of our holidays.

Me too, me too!

I have bought a pair of Diesel jeans, but not the top end stuff, only about £75. I think that's about the most I've spent on one item of clothing.

I would like to watch a violent argument that suddenly turn into a tap dance.

As for expensive clothes - I think it was about £70 on a pair of boots. They've got me through many muddy festivals so they were well worth it! I don't spend much on clothes as most of my money goes on more interesting things.

I dont spend much on my clothes, I seem to buy lots in tk max or on ebay and get it cheap, except jeans/trousers where i end up in the big and tall shop being ripped off(its discrimination against people with long legs I tell you)

But I did buy a suit that cost £370 last year *eeek*

I think a black dress I bought some time back, so I could have "a little black dress"!! Only ever wore it the once. That was £40.00, I seem to remember.

I think, for me, it depends on quality and the fact that you "get what you pay for". A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Dr Martin boots and I think they set me back about £150, but then they lasted me at least 6 years which means it was worth it - however I cannot and could not ever bring myself to buy say a Gucci handbag for £500 JUST because it's by Gucci, it's just a name/brand.

Another example is that I will only buy bras from Bravissimo as they're the best make and quality for me, where as I find bras from other shops (like Primark or even Marks) tend to break quite easily and usually within around 2-3 months, which can get annoying if the minimum spend on a bra for you is £16.00. Even though I'm looking at a MINIMUM spend of £20 for a bra in Bravissimo, I'm guranteed a longer lasting wear.

Do you have big knockers then Rusty Bike? (Is 'rusty' supposed to be rhyming slang for 'busty'?)

hehehe... I like that... "bustybike" but no, I defintely wouldn't say mine are small. However not big enough to cause me back ache.

On the same note though; do you usually just come up to women and ask whether they have big knockers Tophs??

Easy. My kilt outfit, complete with Bonny Prince Charlie style jacket, waistcoat etc etc. None of my regular clothes even come close to that. Seriously, I shop at George. If I like it, I don't care if anyone else does. Another thing I learned at school - people who care what you wear are fannies. May not be strictly accurate, but it's a good rule of thumb. At least it was at school.

To be honest, I always kind of assumed that 'Rusty bike' was your own kind of alternative rhyming slang for 'busty dyke'.

No.. I usually know because I've seen them in the flesh.

You know, that is probably the real reason why my friends call me rustybike. I could have sworn it was something else... but that makes more sense. I like it!

At least you still have to tell people that. Most people know about your enourmous norks because you've sent them pictures.

I refuse to comment on you because it would be wrong. Busty dyke is over the age of 21, however, so she's fair game!

Well, there is that. Cat, you need to do a Tit Risk Assesment for Health and Safety purposes. Until its completed, you and an area of five metres surrounding you are now a designated hard-hat area.
