If you are in your late 20s, where do you shop?

I've thrown all my clothes away, and I'm in desperate need of a Big Clothes Shop.

I haven't had a proper shop since before I got pregnant with DS1 in 2011. I'm now in my late 20s and the shops I used to shop in are full of teens with their bums out. I feel like I need to move on now, but I'm not sure where to.

I don't suit my old style anymore - lots of bodycon, skinny jeans with little vests etc.

So if you're in your late 20s/early 30s (or are just knowledgeable) where do you shop and what do you wear?

I think it's a tricky age too - I have quite a smart office job which makes matters worse. I'm also an awkward shape with big hips & boobs and a small waist so a lot of fashionable stuff just doesn't fit me.

I tend to get stuff from a mix of places but:
French Connection - dresses, tops and coats especially
Karen Millen - sale, being selective to avoid the major WAG stuff but some gems.
Hobbs - more for work, although have a lovely casual cardi. Avoid the stuff that was designed for my mother!
Great Plains - occasionally nice dresses
Phase Eight - Sometimes do nice fitted work dresses, and I like their cowl neck casual tops with skinny/slim leg jeans
Ted baker - Blazers, dresses, occasional top
ASOS - dresses mainly but had some good coloured skinnies and tops too.
Pepperberry - for dresses and tops again - can be a it frumpy but they have some gems and they fit me very well
Get quite a bit from Debenhams - mainly Jasper Conran but not always
Next - their lift, slim and shape slim leg jeans are very good

I'm 28 but apparently look young for my age.
I shop mostly at H&M, ASOS, Next, new look, primark for basics like vest tops & pyjamas.
I do have a very casual style though, my entire wardrobe is jeans, leggings, jumpers & cardigans with colourful scarves? I mainly wear knee high boots with chunky heels or converse/flip flops in the summer.

Glancing inside my wardrobe I would say about 60% of it is H&M

I've just turned 29 I usually wear dresses with thick tights (different colours) cardigans, scarf and dms or uggs/oxygen boots. I buy from dorothy perkins, tkmaxx, asos, joules, French connection, newlook (for cardigans). The scarves I usually buy for under £2 from amazon they have a huge selection, quite thin but very long Smile

I'm 27 and I am also lost in a where I belong style rut. I'm trying to stop buying crap clothes and start buying quality stuff this year but I'm struggling as I've never been a big spender on clothes. I buy a lots of stuff in H&M, gap for jeans and then bit from all over for other stuff.

I'm not very inspired but current trends too, nothing suits my shape.

I shop at Topshop, Reiss, All Saints, Hollister, Fenwick and Urban Outfitters.
