Nice clothes for a nine year old girl. Where to look?

[treaclesoda]

I need to clothe my nine year old. She is tall for her age and very very slim.

We have reached a horrible age where she is too grownup for the little girls clothes but some of the 9-14 ranges are just too grown up. She is not really keen on jeans and trainers, but will wear jegging type jeans. She does like her clothes to be 'pretty' in the sense of things going together and the colours matching. She likes bright colours and is happy to wear jersey dresses etc, but ultimately her favourite clothes are really things like leggings and T-shirts or tunics. (But an awful lot of the T-shirts available in her size have really horrible writing on them - either unsuitable or just irrelevant). And I want proper cotton T-shirts, not those horrible polyester mix ones that fade and go ball-y.

She loves Boden clothes, but our budget only stretches to the very odd thing from there.

Where on earth can I buy her clothes? Preferably online, because she hates shopping too!

Morrisons leggings, H&M boys tops. That's what dd lives in.
We do have the (very) odd Gap or M&S item in there, too.

Tall skinny 9 year old (yesterday in face here - most of her clothes come from Fat Face tbh (in age 11/12 and 12/13 for height and I often adjust the width!).

John Lewis own brand has some nice things which aren't too with it.

I reckon that is it tbh, we stopped buying Boden a few years back because anything that fitted height wise was just massive everywhere else.

in fact!

When DD was younger I used to look up a lot of the Scandinavian websites then search eBay for cheaper. Not too girly. Now she lives in jeans and refuses to wear much there's no point. Also good for the taller, slimmer girl. She actually likes a lot in Zara too and some of the H&M. Finding less she will wear in H&M as she gets older.

My DD1 is very similar build/age.
Her clothes are from Gap, H&M, Boden, John Lewis (but in sizes way bigger, as there's are so short!), Fat Face, often with a few 'boys' things mixed in. I don't buy my children anything with pictures/slogans on at all.
I'm lucky in that I can pass her things on to DD2, but we've also had hand-me-downs from family friends and colleagues etc, so I don't spend huge amounts on her wardrobe.
Sainsbury also will often have 100% cotton basics (long-sleeved t-shirts in plain colours or stripes) which wear and wash well.

I was in Benetton today. There were lots of 100% cotton things and I was fatally attracted to a flowery cotton peasant blouse...
