Unsurprisingly ITV viewers didn't agree with her assessment, and slammed the segment as unrealistically pricey.
One viewer took to Twitter to vent their frustration, and wrote: "That wardrobe would cost you your electricity and gas bill!”
Another user Tweeted: "Yep, that £99 coat sure looks affordable and stylish(!)”
A different outfit included black trousers from Arket for £59, reports My London.
“People struggling to pay energy bills and #thismorning telling us £59 for a pair of black trousers is great value,” tweeted another disgruntled viewer.
The most expensive fashion choice was a pair of £100 boots from Topshop via ASOS, and one fan couldn’t believe the price, writing “£100 for boots?”
“Your fashion segment is totally unrealistic and unrelatable in the current climate,” one viewer told This Morning on Twitter, “Are you completely tone (deaf)? That's what it costs to feed the average family a few days!”
While another viewer added: “Over £200… they call that AFFORDABLE???”
The cheapest item on the segment was a £15 Primark cardigan, which people found more relatable, with one Twitter user saying: “Primark all the way!! It's not what you wear it's how you wear it!”
