Last Saturday's purchase, made in Jermyn Street at Favourbrook
www.favourbrook.com
A Frock Coat, reduced from £450 to £217 and I've worn it every day since, so cheap.
The cost per wear is plunging.
My mates think it's well cool.
ps MASSIVE bargains to be found at expensive shops at the moment

Let's have a look at you in your frock coat then. I love frock coats.

umm. my instinct is that it has to be shoes - because i have several pairs of shoes i've never worn (as opposed to tried on and pranced around my flat in)... but then i think there were components of my press and bastyan suit that i never wore, and i only wore the skirt once, and that cost hundreds, so probably that.

I'll ask a mate.
ps I also wear a Prince Edward (not quite as long)

I have a sequinned turquoise dress and matching shoes I bought for my friend's wedding 10 years ago. She said when she saw me 'that is amazing but you're never going to wear it again'. And I never have.
I still think it's fabulous though
ooooh sequinny. that sounds

So many particulars. So many questions.

oh god, i've just remembered... i bought a pair of leather trousers years ago, my bf of the time encouraged me to get them. anyway i dumped him not long after and gave the trousers to a charity shop because i couldn't bear to wear them. what a waste of money, think they were about 150 quid tooI have a pair of Donna Karen leather trousers that were reduced from £500 to £200 and I haven't worn them even once - I hate leather trousersOh, and they were slightly too long so I did a diy job on them with sizzors - you can't really tell but...
Im expecting a series of posts saying 'wedding dress.'
To be clear: Im not necessarily talking item of greatest value, Im talking Cost Per Wear.
E.g1. A pair of genuine Ugg boots, worn everyday for a year would have a CPW of just pennies ... but worn just once, and you'd be a mug (with Uggs).
The highest cost per wear item in my wardrobe is a handmade 4 piece suit (skirt and trews). All of it unworn in 3 years.
god where to start...
id feel like a proper cunt posting a lot (most) of the stuff ive worn only once on here...
but i may do it anyway once i get it figured out in my head.
or i may just PM it to you Melinda

I've got several items..
Made to measure corset + long skirt + short skirt + shrug = £500.
Worn = 0
Made to measure suit = £can't remember, but maybe 300-400?
Worn = 0
Then there's the Jed Pheonix outfit, but I think I only paid about £120 for it.
Worn = 0
Handmade shoes = £500
Worn 2/3 times.

It is pretty amazing but I should sell it really. It's a Patty Shelabarger who is an LA designer
(obv that is Anna Friel, not Patty)
but I really like it. I might get it framed. As it's sequins, I don't think it would fade would it?

Thank you. It is a pretty amazing thing. And it survived me sitting on a beach in Italy in it until 5am very well (no bare bum, honest
)

Here for the football.
Probabley my suit. Only really ever worn it for interviews so say less then twenty times. Think it cost about £500 maybe £600.
So thats a pretty bad ratio.
Oh actually tell a lie. A pair of joker jeans, only worn them once (maybe twice) so far(bought xmas) and cost £60.
Thats worse then the suit. But wont be for long.

I too like that dress trashy and I can see you wearing it iykwim
Think my most expensive cpw is £50 tbh, a bit paltry compared to butterfly child. It is an evening dress that I bought for a xmas meal 9 yrs ago. Mandarin collar, velour/velvet, can't remember now, deep blue. It is lovely and I'm sure I will wear it again.
