Fed up of not being able to find what I want

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Okay. I realise that I am bloody awkward. And I realise that what I want isn't necessarily what the shops want to sell me. But surely it shouldn't be so difficult to find:

• a lovely soft, slouchy, white cotton button down shirt, that's about mid thigh length

• a cotton grey t-shirt with either a nice graphic or something non-stupid written on it This sort of thing but it counts as stupid

• a pair of black and white trainers which are comfortable and don't have a giant tick or N or something one, and which don't cost the equivalent of a night in a hotel. I found these but they were not very comfortable.

• a grey cotton casual jacket, maybe a biker style or bomber jacket

• some grey, skinny jeans with zips on the ankles

I forgot something:
A jersey skirt like this but grey. Could be midi rather than maxi but must be draped.

Zara have some charcoal grey skinny jeans with zips on ankles £30.

Thanks, Toriana.

I went into the new Brum branch of Zara today. Sadly, it was just as bad as the old branch and I didn't see a single thing I liked. I didn't look at the jeans though.

Do get this !!
What I want is a navy dress, shift, knee length with 3/4 sleeve.
They would sell loads!
But none out there...

Sleeved shift dresses? Try h&m I've got a couple of variations on shifts - more like tunics but a size down might be more shift shape.

I'm after a thigh length white shirt as well and have seen this one. I'm not sure it is long enough.

Or this one

I like the second one, Bun, thanks - but we don't have a Tesco with clothes near to us.

The Whistles Uma dress is shift-y with elbow length sleeves. It's lovely and I got lots of compliments when I wore it.

Just found this at Dotty P's - anybody seen it irl?

River island has loads of long shirts

This shirt from Topshop is knee length and slouchy - I think it looks great and is really easy to wear but might not be quite what you're looking for this
Also, MrsUltra COS tend to do navy shift-type dresses. Worth having a look.

I really like the Topshop one, and in fact had a long thread on here a while back about it, but it is too long (nearly knee length on short arse little me!).

Aw, is it? Yeah, it's pretty long on me too now that I think about it, although not quite knee length. I sometimes worry that I look a bit drowned by it!

It feels so lovely that I was tempted to get it anyway, but it really does drown me. Basically, I want that, but about 8 inches shorter!

I'm sure you probably checked, but do they have a version in the Petite section? Maybe we should lobby them to make one

They don't. :(

Ach, balls!! How annoying

Thanks - that Uma dress is perfect! ( But sadly out of stock except in 16...)

This shirt is nice I have it in Navy

Basically, I want that, but about 8 inches shorter! buy it and take/pay someone to take 8" off the hem, then

Thanks, Tween. I don't want linen though.

Cycle - the Topshop one is already about the limit of how much I would be willing to spend on one. Can't afford to then get it altered on top, and cba with the faff. Am lazy and just want to be able to buy what I want!

I have just bought this from Next. It seems to tick all the boxes.

Right, I'll have a go... But I do think that you HAVE to start ordering online
