Curated closet- Shops for bold but not fussy clothes

[anon2022anon]

What shops are your go to if you like bold and quirky print clothes, but not fussy?

I'm working my way through the curated closet, and so far I like:
A line/ skater/ fit and flare/ defined waist
A fun print- monki springs to mind, things with small animals, rockets, big flowers, bold, occasionally slogan t-shirts
Japanese inspired clothes and prints, kimono sleeves, wraps
On the knee length skirts, cropped cullottes, wide leg trousers
Red, turquoise blue, emerald green, ocean colours

I really dislike on me:
Puff sleeves
Biggest hate: tiers on dresses
Peplum
Balloon leg
Chiffony floaty type things (floaty skirt on a dress is fine in a defined material, if that makes sense!)
Mustard and yellow doesn't suit me in the slightest, or nudes, much prefer summer shades to autumn
Boxy
Oversized

Sorry if this is a really boring list 🙈 but I'm trying to look for inspiration while doing the book, and I can do with a few pointers for where to look. So far I have limited success with mango and zara (but their sizing isnt great for pear shapes) & h&m, monki, just branching out into & other stories on Vinted. Whistles maybe?

I can often find prints I like, such as by Joanie, but the shapes are often too boho/ wide for me. Or the shape is lovely, but the items are plain and in neutral colours which don't suit me or fit my vibe.

Anyone else doing the book and want to join in for inspiration on new places?

Hi,

I like similar style to you I think. I second Monki, hadn't shopped there before but I met an old friend in Brum recently and bought a nice A-line red leather skirt and a patterned fleece. For me the following work, bearing in mind that I'm 48, 5ft5 a size 10/12 and have recently had a lumpectomy so probably wont be comfortable in tight or strappy clothes for a while, due to not being able to wear underwired bras.

Likes

A -line short skirts especially those with a flat front
Bold patterns
Puffy sleeves, I'm quite pear shaped so find these balance my figure out
Bold tights (snag)
Smock style patterned dresses as long as I size down so they're not totally shapeless.
Bold leggings with long tops
Jumpsuits, as long as they are fairly fitted.
Love & Roses blouses, although I haven't treated myself to one yet.

Dislikes

Most trousers, long waisted and wide hipped, so jeans need to be mid rise
Coords, mainly cause my tummy isn't flat enough
Anything too baggy and shapeless
Dungarees
Wrap dresses and anything very low, dont work with small boobs
