Fed up of not being able to find what I want

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 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

£££ for denim, but lovely

MrsUltracrepidarian House of Fraser have the Uma dress in a 10 and Harrods appear to have it in all sizes.

Lots of grey graphic t shirts at Uniqlo

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/05/2015 18:00

Thanks so much for these.

LOVE the MV grey denim - but too expensive, and I really want jersey. Will investigate the Espirit one.

Like the AllSaints skirt a lot - will go and try it on and then wait until a sale, if I like it!

Like the Next shirt but would prefer it minus the pockets.

No to the trainers - I hate the big tick.

Am super-fussy, sorry, but I don't like any of the Uniqlo t-shirts.

Right, am giving up on the trainers Grin not really sure what you're after... last ditch attempt

Was the miss Selfridge shirt no good?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/05/2015 18:36

Neither am I - but I will know them when I see them. Grin I like these except for the big silly N.

Hard to tell re the shirt - will go and have a look irl later in the week, I think.

Ooh I like the anthropologie drape skirt. V nice

tethersend · 26/05/2015 18:42

Quite like these...

tethersend · 26/05/2015 18:44

could you live with a star?

tethersend · 26/05/2015 18:45

or a chevron or two?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/05/2015 18:56

I think my problem is that they all look a bit 'heavy' and little boy at football-esque. I have little feet and skinny ankles and need something fairly delicate looking, I think.

The Reebok ones are probably less offensive than most. Thanks for trawling, as always! Flowers

I wish, Rhonda- then I would have got paid this afternoon Grin
