The average woman buys 271 pairs of shoes in her lifetime

Referencing the study I was talking about:

The average woman buys 3,109 articles of clothing over her lifetime, including:

271 pairs of shoes, which cost $21,716

185 dresses, which cost $11,951

145 purses, totaling $8,414

The study of 1,000 adults found that 41 per cent admitted to changing outfits at least twice per day, re-applying make-up up to five times per day and one in four checking the mirror five times or more every day.  

 

Ten per cent admitted to buying at least one item of clothing or accessories every week in the middle of the day, just to attend an event straight from work.

 

And 14 per cent claimed to have hidden purchases from their partners.
