    I don't know how to name my style. Probably preppy. Most of my clothes come from Urban Outfitters, Jcrew, BRepublic, Thrift Stores, etc. I buy what I like.


    The most expensive thing I own are a pair of jeans. They were originally 180$, I got them for 80$. To most of you this probably sounds ridiculous, but it makes me happy.

    I'm the same way there.. I buy what I like and that's that.. Most of my clothes though are name brand but I'll pretty much shop anywhere I can find things I like.. I'm a colorful person so I can make anything match.. :D

    Posted this before:

    Mostly 1920s with a little bit of 1940s (young girl in the 40s, not some bombshell from the 40s) and a touch of librarian. :)

    I shop at the thrift store so much. Mainly for t-shirts and long sleeve button ups. Its rare to find a good pair of pants at the thrift store.

    I would say the most expensive thing I own would probably be a hoodie of two from PAC sun. I never bought them but I received them as a gift. I would never pay more than 40 dollars for a hoodie.

    I love shopping at thrift stores or any places where you can get cheap clothes basically. I look for colourful, eyepopping things

    My style is like a dressy hippyish casual. For example my favourite outfit is a knee-length flowy creme skirt with a black tank-top, and a tye-dye tee and my birkenstocks. I wear thick black framed glasses so I guess my style is a bit nerdy too.
    The most expensive thing I own is actually the prom dress I wore this year. It was $240 USD. But I didn't pay for it, and I have only worn it once, so really the most expensive thing I own and wear are my birkenstocks $109 USD.

    Thrift shopping is by far the best. There are so many amazing things there that people just throw away.


    Most expensive thing- One of my Ren Faire outfits. All around they cost us about 150 to make.

    hummm............. I don't know that I have a style........everone I know just calls me a hippie (original, eh?).
    I basically buy clothes that are on sale really cheap or at thrift stores. Other than that, I make all my own, which is what I prefer to wear...only the ladies on here make the kind of clothes that I like to wear.
    As for the most expensive thing I own......probably would be the maternity outfir that I wore for my wedding...a nice 3-teired, flowy white skirt and a matching shirt.

    I like funny and weird clothes, and comfortable. My friends says I'm bohemic, so maybe I am :p

    I've never really felt like my style fits into any one specific category. I have moments where I love to dress up or wear costume-like clothing (or actual costumes), but day to day, I wear a lot of brightly colored, plain t-shirts and jeans. I love vintage clothing, especially styles from the 1920s-1940s, as well as Victorian inspired clothing. I make and wear reconstructed denim skirts fairly often, and I recently worked in an American Apparel store, so I racked up a lot of free or super-cheap clothes from there that now seem to dominate my wardrobe. I used to do a lot of thrifting, but I haven't done much in awhile. As far as shoes go, I'm a total sucker for cowboy boots or boots in general, but lately it's too hot (here in New Orleans it's been in the high-80s almost all the time lately), so I usually wear the same pair of fake-Vans that I got from Target.

    I guess I'm mostly lady-like vintage. I like smart clothes that match and look well groomed.

    People call me a hippie, so I guess that's my style, eventhough I wear some punkish things too. I buy whatever I think is cool and on sale or really cheap. I usually look for things that are really different. I just hate seeing 10 other people wearing the same thing I am. Plus I make some of my clothes. I pride myself in my under $20.00 outfits. The most expensive thing I have right now are a $20 pair of levis and I paid for half of them with a gift certificate. I'm really, really cheap.

    "style" - something that changes every day


    coulours is the main thing i go for, though - always looking for some new, bright (preferably uv-active) item

    probably nothing i own is worth more than ~40€ (except those pairs of converse shoes...)

    if looking through my wardrobe, one would probably find
    ...various jeans
    ..."combat" pants
    ...sarongs
    ...some skirts for the summer
    ...and loadsa tops in/from different colours/materials (ahh i once bought this pink furry....bra-like thing in london...lol...), everything from neon green to silver or hemp
    ...and i'm some sort of hat fetishist, too...some of my favourite possessions include the "festival hat" (bright orange & red tye-dye!), "pimp hat", french beret and an absolutely nuts-looking army-style cap which i decorated with a leningrad cowboys [​IMG] pin

    I make pretty much everything I wear. It's mostly patchwork. We have a bunch of (purchased @ shows) batik t-shirts I wear once in a while too. Mostly, though, I wear patchy dresses, skirts, bloomers, "baby-doll" style tops, etc. I used to wear a lot of my own backless tops and stuff as well, but gained a lot of weight with an illness a few years ago, so I've inda shied away from that. I find myself (with my bf's urging) leaning more and more towards a more modest, "prarie" style of clothing. He digs the way I look in a long apron. Is that wierd?

    As far as the cost, like I said, I make it all. The nicest thing I've got is an outfit I would've sold for $125-150. The most expensive thing we've ever made was a men's wedding outfit, worth about $650. Of course, when we were almost done, his dad (who said he'd buy it) decided he thought a patchy wedding outfit was blasfemous so we ended up giving it to him for $420, cuz we love the guy and we knew how much he wanted to wear it. It looked awesome!

    My daily uniform is bluejeans and stretchy v-neck tshirts. sometimes I'll wear a long skirt with my tshirt. v-neck because I'm breastfeeding, and need access to the flaps on my nursing bras, stretchy because I absolutely refuse to shop in the "womens" department or "plus sizes" when all of me is a size 12 except my boobs. Most expensive item of clothing would be shoes, I have a pair of birkenstocks and a pair of danskos that DH gave me for my birthday, but I think my NewBalance sneakers may have cost more than those did.

    If I'm around the house I just slum it in jeans & strappy tops, out of the house I guess I'd be called a hippie.
    Most expensive thing? A pair of sandal type things that cost £30, $55 I think.
    I mostly make my own clothes and bought threads tend to last for years too.
