What was your stupidest clothing purchase?

The worst clothing-related expense is probably all the money I've sunk into my StyleForvm subscription, particularly the Senior Member upgrade.

Even though I got in before the prices went up, I now feel it was probably a foolish purchase. I might sell it on B&S...assuming there are takers.

9 years ago, I bought a brand new from CHINA in plastic wrapping NORTH FA(K)E Faux Gore-tex jacket for $144. A relative uses the bonafide fleece that came with it. I didna know Gore-tex from Your-tex and learned that the hard way during a downpour at a football game.

A pair of Dolce & Gabbana pants. I paid full retail but wore them only twice.

Many years of purchases on clothes that was an enitire size big, wish I would have made that realization earlier than I had. Ah well.

Spending time on Styleforum is probably my biggest waste of money when I can be making $6.75/hour, instead I spend like 3 hours per day here.

They went to Goodwill last year. Nice pants though, but were more fashion forward than I actually am.

I wasted money on a pair of Prada pants, too. Big mistake dollarwise and stylewise, at least given my trad leanings.
