As the titles says I've only got three items left in my wardrobe (no not a troll!) - this follows on from the makeup thread a couple of weeks ago. (thank you for all who helped I'm now make up ready for all occassions!)

So where do I start, I've been into Chester today and didn't see anything not one thing that I liked or wanted to buy.

Help me I have lost my fashion mojo and I'm in serious need of clothes.

I need/like/want:

Navy Mac Single breasted
Camal Wool Coat knee thigh lenght (single breasted nice collar)
Trouser(s)
Skirt(s)
Dress - Day
Dress - Christmas drinks
Tops
Shoes - flats and heels
Heeled boots

Who wants to come shopping with me? Ideally I'd like a couple staples

I'm brown haired, blue eyes, 5'8 size 14 average norks and mummy tummy.

Can't do empire line or wrap dresses as make me look very frumpy.

HELP!

I think wrap dresses are frumpy full stop.

I'd check out Phase 8 for dresses and tops
Laura Ashley and Monsoon do some good trousers
M&S for smart cashmere. Some surprisingly nice shoes there too.
Have you thought of getting a personal shopper at Brown's?
Hobbs do good boots. And Russell and Bromley. Expensive but they last.

Have you been to Cheshire Oaks?
Some great bargains in the LK Bennett and Phase 8 outlets.

For coats, I'd check out John Lewis website from home. Good for dresses too.

If you can afford to splash out, Nicole Farhi do wonderful smart wool trousers that will last and last.

Jesire can do good occasion-wear.

I find Uniqlo is very good for the basics: vests, T-shirts, simple jumpers and their jeans are not just for the skinny. The website is good if there is no branch near you.

I second John Lewis.

Thank you for the information - I think my problem is I'm shopping/looking in the wrong shops.

Will try Phase 8, monsoon just looked old lady to me today and Cheshire Oaks - I only go for Mulberry, RL and Gap never thought to look in LK Bennett!

Will also look into Nicole Farhi and Uniqlo

Think a coat is my first think to find brrrrrr
