Just being nosy really! I'll start;

I'm 34 and shop at new look and asos. I've just found 'anthropologie' and would love to shop there but it's too pricy for me.

You?

Oh yeah, forever 21!!! When I can face a real shop (do they do online??). Great accessories and good plus size range.

Zara, Urban Outfitters, Mango, American Apparel but to be honest there are many days I find myself head to toe in Zara Blush
sometimes Topshop, Cos

Kasey86 · 02/05/2015 18:43

29 and I mainly shop at House of Fraser, Selfridges, Zara and all saints. Mostly I shop online for convenience :)
Beauty wise is either Debenhams or boots.

I'm 46.

John Lewis (Mostly for work) All saints, Urban outfitters, The outnet, My wardrobe, Coggles, Zolando, Whistles, Jigsaw, nelly, and sometimes net a porter or matches.

In my 30s, I wore a lot of Boden, gap, next, phase 8, white stuff and fat face.

I think I am more sure of my style, now, so less conservative.

Or maybe I'm just mutton.

Shonajay · 03/05/2015 03:17

I'm 47 and use ebay a lot, like Diesel coats, Izabel London, some ASOS, some Next from ebay, like Desigual reduced on asos.

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 03/05/2015 03:24

41, I shop on etsy with a fair bit of anthropologie and bizarrely Dorothy Perkins for jeans (right shape for me).

squigglehead · 03/05/2015 06:50

Very almost 26. H&M are my absolute favourite. Fat Face and White Stuff too. I supplement with New Look basics. Think 90s grunge mixed with hippy, that's my style Grin

hiccupgirl · 03/05/2015 07:34

42 - mainly Sainsburys, Next, Debenhams, Fatface and Boden in sales, M&S for selective bits.

AgentCooper · 03/05/2015 07:49

29: Uniqlo, ASOS, Esprit, New Look would be my mainstays but my last few purchases from elsewhere were dresses from Phase 8 and People Tree, a jumper from Biba and a trench coat from Jaeger (all in the sale).

I struggle a bit from shop to shop as I am tall with big boobs and often find that there are certain shops where nothing fits me, and need to find this out through trial and error but hate going into town and trying stuff on!

Stinkersmum · 03/05/2015 07:56

40 in two weeks. I shop mainly at newlook and next tall sections. That's about it really, nor much choice when you're over 6 ft with 37 inside leg.

Chips1999 · 03/05/2015 08:02

I'm 30, I really like Fat Face the clothes seem to be better quality and I like the colours and styles.

I used to mainly shop in New Look and H&M but had too many disappointments in there recently with clothes not fitting or bobbling too quickly which is a shame as I like the clothes.

Looking for new shops and trying to find my new style now I'm 30 and have two children and a wobbly tummy Blush

Shop in River Island , EBay, New Look , Asos , few items from Tesco .
Mostly shop online , buy about 80% of clothes online due to not having enough time to go shopping.

I regularly check out Outnet.
Whistles.
