i bought hte first thign EVR from monsoon today

[cod]

and i am 36

is thatt eir target sad withered old fish kinda target audience?

I bought my first things from monsoon this year too (am 35). I prefer to think that it has become stylish rather than me being past it...

Tamum, I've been there a few times but it is hit and miss.

I love Monsoon, I spent too much in the Salisbury one a few weeks ago, the staff were v nice to me, lol.

Monwsoon stuff refuses to fit me. I am not an odd shape, really, but everything seems to look crap on me.
Agree about the sales for kids' clothes. I go once or twice a year and stock up for the following year. DS v well-dressed, occasionally.

ah you see lr

so when is the sale

I;ve been many times too littlerach :) Yes, it's a bit hit and miss but worth a look if you're heading in that direction.

I dig Monsoon tops and the odd skirt, the tops are great for bigger ahem busted ladies
As I sit here I have a green monsoon top on and a blue woollen Monsoon cardigan, I buy all my stuff in the sale though... Usually
Kids stuff I've really gone off it this year.

Aha! Piffle that is why the tops never fit me: no norks to speak of. [resigned face]

God I walk through Monsoon and salivate. It's the prints I like best I think, and the strokable fabrics. I really can't afford it though. Have never bought anything from there.

look at the Dory Daisy Dupion dress in the baby girls section

DD HAS to have it

I used to have a disposable income.
(See debt thread.)
Now I just stoop and shuffle past with the pushchair.

MMn I agree about the kids stuff - I stock up for the next year. I'm glad that I'm not alone. :)

Would love to waft around in Monsoon stuff - if only we weren't so broke. But when Trinny & Susannah finally decide to chuck £2,000 my way..... (spend many hours fantasising about the chance of a complete wardorbe overhaul)

so is their sale huge?
and when?

( note monsoon vigin)

the sales are good. They do further reductions a couple of weeks in with up to 70% off.
They tend to be popular round here and are really busy.

Start last week or so of July-- usually around the time the kids break up unfortunately, severely hampering shopping opportunities.

so ame time as next then

yes, just twice a year, at reg sale times.

I have bought the odd thing from monsoon. I used to love the children's monsoon range when it first appeared but it seems to have gone over the top lately with ribbons and beads. It's a shame.

I've got a few things from Monsoon, I find their size 12 fits me like a glove, and their jeans are a really flattering cut on me.

Back in the heady pre-marriage days, DH gave me a Monsoon account card for Christmas with a monthly "allowance". By the end of the Christmas sales, I was up to July...

I agree re ribbons and beads on kids stuff, socci.

Ah, Monsoon at Clark's, down that way next week, might have to visit.

What's the sizing like?

Monsoon sizes tend to be on the generous side.

That was just what I wanted to hear, lol, thanks.
