Or are you all too young? Just interested...

I got a couple of tops for work in there. Its okay I s'pose.... and I'm 27.

grr with your accute accent

Yes I've bought stuff in there a few times. I find it chops and changes - they have really nice stuff or they go through a phase of having only stuff suitable for your granny!!

I'm asking because DH just had an interview with them (fingers crossed for a second next week!) and was v impressed with the set-up and thought they seemed on the up, so I've just been on the website. I was astonished that it says for women over 45 - a) because it seems so arbitrary (why not 40 or 50?44??) and b) because I've never been in and always assumed it had stuff for all ages, not just old ladies (and 27-yr-old toothaches!)

One's just opened in our town and I had never been in before so popped in a few weeks ago - and out again pretty quickly! Thought the stuff was pretty awful and really for the - ahem - "more mature" woman. Given that I'm 41, I should only be four years off their target group but it'll be a long time before I'll be in again!

mm have bought a couple of 'work' tops there in the past but only because my nan shops there and she said it was cheap.

i got some stuff from there over the summer. some of its ok, but most of time i go in and its all too 'old' for me.

Yeah Ive always thought of it as a shop for the 'older lady'. No offence to anyone who has made a purchase from there!

Sorry but very cheap and very nasty-and I do quite often shop in Primark and in second hand shops but I think their stuff takes the biscuit for cheapness!!

I have been in but it seemed to be aimed at the more mature lady
