cheaper alternative to White Stuff?

[bethylou]

I have finally lost the baby weight from DS2 after 8months and have been looking forward to updating mywardrobe which currently has only 3 tops wihtout holes in or stains on (due to a very sicky baby!!) I thought I'd be bakc at work by now, but due to my poorly boys, I'm home till after Christmas and can't afford to go shopping but desperately need some new clothes that aren't falling apart. I know if I had plenty of money, I'd like to shop in White Stuff. Can anyone suggest anywhere that sells similar looking clothes, but without the similar price tag? I admit to knowing nothing about shopping/fashion and have only been to town once in 15 months!!

soccerwidow, I had the same thing - plus, the quality was just awful. Jumbles of threads on the seams, buttons misaligned - WS has gone really quite wrong.

And also not sure I want to be in the WS 'uniform' - so recognisable and v expensive

I think WS is very variable with quality too.

I was in today and they've got a lot of wooly tanktop things I thought would look lovely and cover allsorts-sadly not. I came out very depressed.

Thanks for all of that. I shall enjoy spending some time browsing through this lot in the coming days.

Esprit is really good quality, in my experience. Fantastic for basics.
