How much money have you put into your look?

[Marla16]

After recently returning to dressing after a divorce and living on my own, oh my, I have spent thousands. I do have a lots of nice clothes from casual to dressy, lots of lingerie, several wigs all human hair, tons of makeup and forget about shoes. I have been on a shopping spree for the last month. Im getting close to having more femme stuff than mens. I really missed dressing and I,m so happy to be back

[Lesley Ann]

Like most of the replies to this thread I don't dare to add up the cost. The guy me has three suits, Lesley has three skirt suits, two dress suits, three 3 piece suits. Guy has three pairs of shoes, Lesley has so many she's lost count! My list could go on and on (boreing) but I am sure you get the idea.
One other point Lesley has hundreds of photographs, the guy.........?
Love, Lesley Ann

I hate to even think

[Suzy Harrison]

Well, let me think:

Clothes
Make Up
Travel to the other side of the world for the SCC
SCC hotel for 10 nights
Laser hair removal treatment
Voice Lessons
Blood Tests
Endocrinologist visits
Phycologist visits

...I don't even want to think just how much it has cost

[Chari]

With all the $ spent on feminine clothes, makeup, facials, manicures, hair styes, wigs, jewelry, shoes. etc - I could have paid cash for my Porsche 911.

I want to say I'm clear over the $2,000 mark in a 4 month period....and counting haha.

Are you trying to make me cry? I've spent a lot, far too much . . .

[Sally24]

Makeup..............$200 a year

Clothing............$1000 a year

Electrolysis........$2200 so far

When I'm going good, dressing frequently, I'll spend $200 a month, easy, sometimes more. Guess that puts me in the $1000 to $2000 camp. Then there's the *cost of clubbing*.....

You *know* I wouldn't go clubbing as a guy...so that probably adds another $1000 a year, or more.

...and I though I did this on the cheap...

The Metro Times has a column where they show a gal all dressed up and then the cost of the look.

$225.00

That was getting hair, make up, and nails done for free by ggf's who do that in the workaday world. They were very helpful in helping me come out into the world. The jewelry was borrowed.

Over the 25+ years I've been dressing-mucho dinero

$4 at last count... well..unless you count sleepwear, lingerie, makeup, shoes,... all that stuff.... Ha ha ....Marny

Couldnt have said it better!

I feel like this question is going to cause me to go to confessional and I'm not Catholic.

Since I began accepting myself 2 years ago, I have been building up a wardrobe and doing multiple other things to prepare to get out of the closet. I wouldn't come out of the closet until I had gotten everything ready. It seems sort of silly now, but that is what I did.

So here is my confession:
1) $5000+ on laser treatments on chest and back. I was Grizzly Adams in real life.
2) $2000+ clothes
3) $750+ on shoes
4) $600+ on coats / jackets
5) $300+ on wigs
6) $250+ on purses
7) $150+ on makeup (I couldn't figure out what I wanted)
8) $300+ jewelry (A girl can never have too many earrings and necklaces)
9) Now I am preparing to have my beard removed. I have no idea what that will cost yet.

Wow - that looks like a lot of money. As I have said before, I have more female clothes than male ones. In fact I would be much happier wearing women's clothes 24/7, but my business wouldn't survive that one. Maybe one day I can figure out how to do that. I hadn't gotten out of the house dressed due to my schedule for 1.5 weeks. Tonight I finally got to go grocery shopping dressed. It was so relaxing to get out of the house and do something as Michelle.

I don't think I want to know. Probably could have bought a Ferrari by now.

Not all that much, I tend to keep it simple more thrift store shopping then anything.

At the local Maurice store, I'm in the top 100 customer club, and at a nearby lingerie store, I've acheived top 50 status. Not that I'm trying for any sort of record, it's just that they have so much nice things, and of course I just HAVE to buy them.

Probably spent well over $2K so far this year, between clothes, makeup, (Mary Kay ain't cheap) lingerie, shoes.

[Janetmichelle]

Well I am not sure but I am sure it is in the thousands some where and I just purged the closet about 3 months ago. Pre maturely I might add. Now I have to start all over. Silly me

[Carly D.]

I think I would be way too embarrassed to try to figure a sum.. I think I've had over 100 pairs of shoes.. and with that figure you can almost guess how much I've spent, because as you know for every pair of shoes I have had I had at least five pairs of pantyhose/tights... so.. man that's ... never mind..
