Good quality clothes/shoes?

[vodkaanddietcokeplease]

I'm planning a wardrobe overhaul in the New Year!

I have very few work clothes (dress smartly) and even fewer day-to-day clothes that I actually like and go together. Had a date night with DH last week and got myself worked up trying to find someone to actually wear that I felt comfortable in and didn't look scruffy. I'd like to look more polished overall.

I'm 29 with 2 young children (so need to wear fairly practical things) and work full time - don't have loads of spare cash but would like to buy fewer items that are better quality.

Where shall I look?

Also interested in hearing everyone’s thoughts on this...

Uniqlo.
Their extra fine merino wears well and is good value.

Following. Although most clothes are christmasy party clothes right now. Or polyester that needs to be dry-cleaned.

I do most of my clothes/accessory shopping online. A lot of the higher end stores have sales at the moment so there are some good quality / well designed things available for better prices than usual. You're a few days late for the best of the sales but have a look at websites like Coggles, MyTheresa, Net-a-Porter, The Outnet and Wolf & Badger. If nothing else, it may help you find designers whose style you like and/or give you some ideas of looks you can put together.
