I am a reasonably trim, fashionable late 40s- look a bit younger so I am told- but am so depressed at lack of suitable summer clothes this year.
Everything is either sleeveless and very young, empire line and smocky ( don't want to look PG), or floral like curtains.
I am not old enough for Kalico, or CCs, don't like Hobbs ( all those spots), Phase 8 and Fenn Wright Manson are all to floral and droppy, and mother-of-the-bride, Monsoon looks garish, White Stuff and Fat Face are aging hippy...
Jesire and Whistles are drab this season...I could go on!
used to love Jigsaw and Kew, but Jigsaw is now silly prices, and everything this year is purple, navy or black ( not my colours), and the dresses are either too formal or too floaty.
Have bought one colour block dress from Boden, and one skirt Jigsaw and one skirt from Kew.
Anyone else in the same boat?
