Any fashion Blogs that actually feature high street fashion?

[nowitsenough]

I've yet to find a blog (or pinterest board) that features (and links to) high street fashion that I can afford and would wear.

Anyone like to point me in the right direction? I'm 50 and dress quite casually, apple shape, 5 feet 7 and size 14/16 at the moment, dark brown hair and eyes.

Bumping because I'd like to know too!

There's just been a thread on 50+blogs.
There aren't many around but quite a lot 40 +

I read
Does my bum look 40,features some high street but usually higher end

Re:style, very high street orientated
Mid Life Chic, Boden plus high street
What Lizzy Loves, ditto
What Lou wore, ditto

My midlife fashion
Fashion mum of 40
I won't wear sludge brown

I like That's not my age which is higher end plus The Online Stylist, she has lovely photographs.

Apologies no links am on phone.

well, what can you afford and which shops do you like to shop in??

[nowitsenough]

Thanks Georgina, I'll have a look at those

My budget is as cheap as possible I often try to find things I like on eBay. I sometimes shop at M&S, Dorothy Perkins, Debenhams, But I don't have a style really. I like jeans and slouchy long jumpers, knitted/tube skirts and long tops/jumpers with thick tights and boots, I love long cardis and waterfall cardis, I tend to wear a lot of grey and black or dark teal.

Thanks Georgina, I love Re:style. I had never heard of it and she's right up my street.

Thanks for adding my blog georgina

I read all the same as you do, just checking my blog roll for others.
Forever Amber wears a lot of ASOS (I love her)
Avenue 57 also high street plus supermarket gems
All Worn Out are great for pricier high street finds / The Workwear Edit

I'm definitely guilty of too much Boden, it's the free delivery that works for me plus 2-3 day delivery. As much as I see great things on the H&M website for example I know it'll take 10-14 days to arrive and I hate trogging around town with two LOs in tow so tend to stick with online shopping.

Hmmm, looking at the lists of blogs that they also read there are a lot of similarities aren't there? Khaki and stripes seem to be a 'thing' as does standing with your toes pointing inwards.

[GeorginaWorsley]

Lou I love your blog and I agree re the 'ease' of shopping with Boden!
I use John lewis a lot for brands like Mint Velvet, Whistles etc for the simplicity of it.
I like the way you re wear lots of your things too

[nowitsenough]

I must admit I've never found anything at boden that I like apart from a pair of shoes that were beautiful but extremely uncomfortable

[GeorginaWorsley]

I only do plain stuff.
No patterns.

[Picastyle]

No patterns here either. An occasional stripe but no patterns.

Thanks Coup! I like the Mini hotchpotch tops for my DD. There are some summer ladies items that look like Mini clothes & I was a bit rude about them on the blog a while back. One such item is priced at £69 - they're trolling Mumsnet I'm sure.

I used to buy women's patterns although nothing named "Fun". These days I'm at saturation point but I do love the striped bretons. In fact now I'm done BFing I'll be coming back to all my old stuff, it's been very much separates & plainer stuff the last 7 months since DS was born!

I think you're me

Well the 20% off code lasts until 7 March so Frugal Feb then a small treat...

[nowitsenough]

Boris And where do you so? Any tips to share?

I don't wear stripes or many patterns, prefer plain.

[nowitsenough]

"Where do you shop?" !!

[princessdave]

OP I just came back to say think about joining the Avenue 57 Facebook group. It's a closed group and there are hundreds of us adding OOTD pictures, high street shopping finds and recommendations. None of your friends on FB can see yours posts as it's a private group but it's very active with women of all ages, shapes, sizes and tastes.

I thought I'd included it in my first post but I only included Fiona's blog, not the FB page she subsequently set up.

[nowitsenough]

Thanks Princess, that's great, I'll go and look now.

Hi Coco,
The shameless self-promotion of your own blog is pretty obvious when you resurrect 4 old theeads at once.
