It seems I have abruptly hit the point in my life where I have acknowledged that I am a proper grownup, and my clothes should probably reflect that. In the past, I've shopped at a wide range of high street places with a sprinkling of Asos, but I've come to feel that I would rather buy fewer, nicer things, preferably in natural fabrics, that are well-cut, hold their shape, and last.
Can people give me some places/retailers I need to start shopping in? I like to nod to fashion/incorporate some trends, but I'm over really adapting to it. I've fallen in love with Boden quality lately - Reiss is a little out of my budget, and I'd describe my style as 'classic with a twist' eg I have a fab Mint Velvet collarless jacket with zip details that edges it up a bit. I need smart clothes for work and flattering but reasonably comfy and machine washable stuff for weekends with DC. I'm checking out Cos also. Hobbs is a bit too stodgy for me.
Vital stats wise I'm early 30s and a petite, hourglassy size 8-10. Hit me.
