Cindy McCain burns up ~$300k for RNC convention clothes/accessories

John McCain has launched a campaign calling himself as a “regular” guy whose heart beats for the blue collar worker.  Well his wife’s heart beats a little faster for good things in life ostensibly.  Last night she came in stuff that was ~$300k.  Below is an estimate of the damage Laura Bush and Cindy McCain did to their family’s (or tax payers?) wallets.

Laura Bush
Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

(All prices except Laura’s shoes and Cindy’s watch are estimates, and the jewelry prices are based on the assumption that the pieces are real.)
