I've fallen into a complete slump - I've got 2 DC under 4 & I never have the time to go clothes shopping so I buy on sale Boden & Joules cos I know what sizes fit & the quality is fine. But I keep seeing my clothes at the school gate & I'm starting to feel like a cardboard cutout (without the great hair & figure!!) So where else do I go? I need easy, flattering clothes that I can throw on at 8am while wrestling a pre-schooler & toddler!!

I regularly throw on clothes from Gap, Top Shop and H&M in order to wrestle with my three year old!

I like White Stuff's clothes. Expensive but they have good offers.

Have you tried Atterley Road? Their own label stuff is incredible.

Gap, Seasalt, Uniqlo, h&m, Kin or Weekend by John Lewis, Warehouse and Oasis

White Stuff and Fat Face sometimes have nice casual wear stuff

(looks down at self)

Gap, Seasalt, Cos. Seasalt in particular do great Breton tops (nicer than the Boden ones) and print dresses, though you need to be careful with the styles: some are gorgeous, some are weirdly frumpy.

I've got kind of disillusioned with Boden lately, the quality and sizing are a lot more patchy than they used to be. Though they do have really good shorts.

Ooh, that Atterley Road own-brand stuff is niiiiiiiiiice.
