Hi Girls

I wondered just how much money we girls spend on our girly selves to create our feminine illusion per month.

Just recently I have been spending about £50.00 or $100 mainly on clothes, I just can not resist buying skirts dresses or tops.

How about you

And what do you mainly buy
1. clothes
2. makeup
3. perfume
4. Jewelry
or all 4

I buy very often clothes and nice underwear... I spend also some on makeup and on other beauty products such as depilatory cream... I buy some jewelry, but not really expensive one...

I would say that this amounts to about between 50 and 100 dollars per month...

I tend to be a compulsive buyer... At times, I just can't resist getting my credit card out of my walet to buy a nice skirt or a beautiful top...

Since Ive been only wearing fem clothes, for about six months now, I'm always "shop-looking". That's kind of like window shopping, but, if I see something on sale and I like it, I'll buy it. Trying to build up my wardrobe.

One SA in a thrift shop, after I'd been looking for an hour, said "Is that all you could find?", when I only bought a skirt. I do a lot of looking.

I would say that I spend over $100 a month.

I am in the same boat as Nikki, and I think we are sinking. Most of my spending is on clothes, since I rarely wear makeup other than lipstick. I also do not use a lot of perfume.

But clothes!! Oh yes, can't stop buying and I already have way too many!:happy:

Hi Gurls -Christie Ann Collier here!

Since I have a propensity to gain weight, I skip lunch every day and pocket the money which usually adds up to about $20 every week. I save the money, and about every three or four months, I go on a shopping spree with about $300 to spend.

It is amazing how may outfits you can buy for $300, and my sales girl at Dress Barn is always happy to see me because she knows that she will always get a big sale out of me.

Truth is that I think I have more clothes now than my wife does. If I could only wear them whenever I wanted I would be in heaven!

Hugs,

Christie Ann

J C Penneys is having a big sale this Sunday so I will probably do a bit of shopping. I have also found many nice things at the thrift stores here and 20 dollars goes a long ways.

I've always got an urge to shop, mostly for clothes and jewelry. I found it's good to have all the basic colors in skirts, tops, and dresses. Then add accessories to compliment and complete the outfit. I spend about $100 per month, but sadly don't get out too often to show off my wardrobe.

If I have the money - I spend it. I never spend into debt. I can go without spending anything if I don't see anything I like or doing $436 a week in skirt suit if I like 'em.

I'm happy with my small jewelry collection and don't need more!

There seems to be a pattern developing here. I also spend around $100 a month on all four items, sometimes a bit more when I find something that I really like.

I know that as the SO of a cder I have stopped @ Wally world and Sally's and spent just $20-30 on cosmetics in an effort to help my husband with his hobby. He already has one wig but hoping to get more. As for clothing, he only has a few pair of shoes/boots, some nightgowns and panties (he uses all my clothes currently) but I told him we get him some at the Goodwill and hit the Dept. store clearance rack - Like Susie said "a girl has to live in her means" and I am trying sooooo hard to be supportive but gotta keep spending on the downlow for now and since only he & I know, he doesn't need fancy party duds or anything. :tongueout

Just depends. If I see something lacey or just plain cute, I get it. I have been known to spend 100-200 a month.

Can't help it... EVERY TIME I get anything from an online store (Amazon, Drugstore.com, etc.), I always add in one or two lipsticks. Do this about once a week. Think I'm forever trying to find the PERFECT lipstick, knowing always that I'm hoping to somehow find that perfect shade of red/pick/coral that also has that scent of yesterday's lipsticks... like the ones I first brought to my lips way back when, back when my young teenage hand so trembled within its silent desires. (Actually, I know full well the lipstick I speak of. It was my mother's Avon Periwinkle Pink. Sadly, it's long gone now, but it's scent still lingers. Its fragrance spoke of such womanhood for me. And pressing it to my lips... Good lord, it meant so much. It gave me life!) :kiss:

But to answer the question, I guess I spend about $150 a month, mostly on makeup and new clothes. Not so much on lingerie these days. Got plenty of that!

Robyn
P.S. I have found a pretty close facsimile to that avon lipstick: Estee Lauder's Polished Performance Lipstick Woodland Rose. It's my number one lipstick these days! A wonderful red-coral, with that scent I spoke of. Found here (http://www.amazon.com/Estee-Lauder-Polished-Performance-Promotional/dp/B000BL0LAW/ref=sr_1_1/104-2692816-7075155?ie=UTF8&s=beauty&qid=1192252025&sr=8-1).

Hey - what a great idea to keep the costs down, but such a pity there's never any make up left on the washing lines ! :happy:

Now that I'm out shopping en-femme, combined with my late discovery of E-Bay my spending is out of control. I spent just over $2000 in 2 months on E-Bay and around $400 these last few weeks in the shops, but I saved a fortune since there were sales on at the time.

I'd hope to keep it to around $100 a month in the future - and so does my bank.

Well I'm still recovering from my last purge, so I'm spending way to much. But here shortly I'll be back to normal. Probably about $50 to $75

It depends on what I buy. My SO and I wear the same size shoes (size 9) and we share them so I don’t count that. I usually spend about 50 bucks or so, mainly on makeup, perfume, clothes, and pantyhose.

Being single I do not have to answer to anyone how much I spend, I don't have a set amount some months I spend very little, other months over $1000 or more. If you count the dinners, clubs, get away weekends and trips to Atlantic City Kristen goes out on, it is more than HE spends but I am having the time of my life and I'm worth it

I guess I am fortunate to some degree. I am basically conservative and like the business woman look. I like shopping at Nordstroms and Talbots. I would say that if I averaged my spending, it would be about $1,200 a month. :heehee:

I also live by myself and have noone to answer to but me. I spend on average about $600/month. This includes travel, lodgeing, etc.

About as much as I can afford, and then some. That counts for the wife and I. We both like to shop, and Lane Bryant is our favorite store...BJ

I am a longtime dresser - been out socially about 3 years. Like alot of the gurls i have be carefull with the money for Robin's life. I usually go out 2-3 times a month. Normally dining/clubbing/etc. AND sometimes something very femme. Rently bought a lavender 2 piece top on sale at Kohl's for under $20. I used to buy way too much on ebay and my wife correctly asked me to slow down. Hugggs, Robin

I don't have a "set budget" for Kenix. I will buy something that is on sale if I like the item.

Eventually I won't be buy much clothes at all. Once you have a pair of black pumps you don't need to buy another pair. :2c:

I live alone too. Have a couple of English Bulldogs that found their way into my household. My spending varies, this past weekend. I probably went over the top, getting myself ready for the TG weekend in Saugatuck. Two visits to the salon, $550.00 ( yes I'm high maintenance ) Weekend of fun ( lodging, food and spirits ) $360.00 Shopping spree today. ( can't waist the acrylic nails and waxed eyebrows had to show the world ) $400.00. Thats why there's Mastercard.

Huggs, Renee
