I don't buy often, used to, but lost interest in it years ago and spend most of my time now in practical, weather related stuff and leggings/yoga stuff, haha.
However, I am in dire need of a couple of light frocks for summer. To wear with my birks and my old superga.
Problem is, no matter where I look, everything looks shit.
John Lewis, Hush, White Co, places I once kind of gravitated to. Stuff looks thin of not well cut, and either too voluminous or shiny - which is nothing new these days, but you used to be able to get something if you paid a bit extra.
The only place ive seen decent looking dresses is toast, which is extortionate, but since I don't buy often, I don't mind. That said, ive seen the threads on here saying they are performing badly with deliveries and returns.
Where can I find decent stuff that isn't too trend oriented, but will last a few years?
Ive tried Plumo (too arty), COS (too structured and not really me), fat face (bland) and M&S and so on. I kind of like Poetry but nothing is in stock until July (sod that).
Nothing!
I just keep returning to outdoor stuff, which is always good - like Fjallraven and Arc'teryx. But they don't do frocks!
Any ideas?
