to feel annoyed that clothes in shops are so crap

Why is it such a struggle to buy decent clothes. I went in Gap today and everything was reduced but it was all awful. Just dreadful designs, fabrics, unflattering things.
I went on holiday in Italy recently and could have bought everything in a couple of clothes shops I visited - simple tops and t shirts in lovely fabrics and loads of great colours. Here I can't get anything similar to that, we just don't seem to have shops like that.
And yet with M & S going down the pan and the High street in general not doing well, why can't we just have clothes shops with some decent good quality good fabric not too expensive things in them?

My Bon Marche t-shirt came today. 100% cotton and a lovely shape and weight. V-neck but not too low. Long enough in the body... hip length. £6.

Will be ordering more in other colours.

Agree about some of Toast's stuff, but the apron dress is fabulous, in dark denim or black. Fabulous design, very flattering. Every once in a while they come up with a gem.

I bought a dress from here yesterday and it's lovely. Made in the U.K. too (so no sweatshop labour) and 97% cotton.

@GirlfriendInAKorma -thanks, never heard of this before. Cotton, made in UK and not too pricey! I love the print with the lemons.
