in , put and ok for this season

[cod]

out..
high strappy sandals
stripey jumpers

botocut trousers
boho belts
wrap dresses
military jackets

I know it is, but I think it really looks it too, IYSWIM. The creased layered look they seem so fond of (in the windows in my branch anyway) even looks dodgy on the mannequins (sp?) ! Naffola

hunker, me too. Only good thing I ever got was a top by Plein Sud for work.

HOw cjoudl we forget ZARA and Mango

I must forget about them mumsnetminx because my arse is too big
got stuck in a pair of trousers last time I went in MAngo
never again

Zara are great. Never seen anything I like in Mango.

Lol Hunker - I used to think that. Used to hate TK Maxx. Trick is to go without kids and rummage.

I don't bother w/TK Maxx. I can never find FA in there - it's laid out as if someone on speed organised the shop.

I also cheat by ordering a lot of clothes online at US sites, have them sent to my mother's address and then she brings them up w/her when she visit.

I really like Zara.

last time I went to tkmaxx everything I tried on smelled of vomit

New Look good for one season clothes, I think.

I find Next a bit boring but keep getting drawn back because of having the directory so can warm to items in there and also because of going to Next to Nothing.

I want some cheap skinny jeans. Where to go?

lol @ 'someone on speed organsied the shop'

Used to love Sisley, but they closed my local branch .

Reiss is another great one. Not cheap but have some gorgeous stuff. Thougth this season is not good

Is it just me then that thinks Zara and Mango sell trousers for giants?

I love Reiss mens stuff, they always choose really stunnign models too for their campaigns

FCUK

Seriously, NdP, it's worse than a market stall in Mexico City. Things are just hodgepodge thrown together w/no regard to anything. It's like surrearlism in a shop.

yes theya re long

I like Zara's leg lengths, but then I've got a 32" inside leg, not hugely long or at all rare but you'd think it was with the 'standard' lengths of some shops. Grrrr

Does anyone else panic if they get stuck in a garment in a changing room?

I am a short arse though

i avoid changing rooms entirely, hunker. i'm the type to buy it, take it home to try it on, and if i don't like it, i take it back.

Have fallen out with Zara after I bought a coat in November - last night I had to sew back on every single fastening button plus one on the shoulder. Most of these buttons have already been sewn on several times. I am really cross about it.

If you can get over the carnage that is TK Maxx you will find some fab pieces at fab prices.

I have bought seven jeans, lovely knitwear and going out tops from there. My best bargain was a Betty Jackson wrap dress for £3!!!!

Ok, I know they are not in now but I love it.

me too, expat. Changing rooms are generally either too hot, too crowded, too open plan/public, and have you noticed that the curtain NEVER, ever pulls all the way across ?!

I can't get over the carnage.
