I hadn't really shopped in them since my student days, but I recently made a new friend who always looks incredibly stylish, in that sort of cool, laid-back, not-really-trying mode I would love to achieve (instead I have two modes - over-dressed, and scruffy, with no middle ground), who claims she gets most of her clothes from them, so I thought I'd give it a try.
It's been a revelation! I don't always find stuff, but when I do they tend to be gems. In the past couple of months, I've found a wonderfully soft, thick and warm Uniqlo cashmere jumper; a Boden cashmere dress with the tags still on it, and today a gorgeous real leather jacket which will be perfect for Spring for the bargain price of £17.50!
And I get the feel-good factor of helping a charity and not contributing to landfill/worker exploitation with more cheap, throwaway fashion. Win!
