Hit me up with some quality clothing shops....

[Scatternobrains]

Now the kids are at uni, I have lost a bit of weight and feel like I am growing up I am beginning to invest a bit more money into my wardrobe.

I feel like there are loads of shops out there I haven't really tried, and probably not even herd of. I have always been a Next girl, then a nothing girl for a few years when I was a couple of stones heavier and skint.

Recently I have bought some things from Boden, Phase Eight, Sezane, Monsoon. I am happy to spend up to £100-200 on an item although less is even better. Where else can I look to bring my wardrobe up today with some quality pieces? Would love some new inspiration.

Thanks

I always find it difficult to spend loads on clothing and go for secondhand via charity shops or vinted. I love reiss, barbour, zara, fairfax and favour, crew clothing company, nobody's child. Although I am on a good income there are so many good quality clothing you can pick up secondhand

after going through some posts on here till early hours I have stumbled across these sites and thought I would add them to my post just incase anybody else didn't know of them.

The first two have stupendous lists towards the end of all the brands mentioned. The third is ongoing.

They’re all completely outside the usual run of MN Style and Beauty - and well worth your time if you really do want wider inspiration.
