I looked on a thread earlier and was introduced to Farm Rio
I've totally fallen in love with all of it, but I need it to be 1/4 of the price.
Any ideas?
I'm going on my first foreign holiday in 15 years this year and I'd love this look, unfortunately my budget is not playing ball.

Sezane has some floral dresses in that kind of style. And even looking carefully at Zara and mango for odd bits here and there, I have a Zara dress that has a similar vibe.

vinted / eBay?

Thanks all.
I'd checked Ebay and vinted, but it's all still v expensive. And there are no outlets here so it would be a real gamble on size.

I think you've hit the nail on the head why I love it Thelongrider it's good print. I usually hate print, which is why I was so shocked to fall so fast in love. Good print hasn't been on the high street in 25 years.

Thank you for the ideas. I will investigate. It may well be just a lovely dream

@LuckyShark

If you like Farm Rio, you will probably also like Alemais, La Double J, Zimmerman and Manoush. They are pretty expensive but you might find something online in the sales.

@LuckyShark I could have written your post !
Saw it on here, had a look and omg, I love their dresses and playsuits.
I'm going on a long haul holiday later this year to celebrate a relatives big birthday and I want at least 4 items.
Probably cost a grand. I'm waiting for a tax rebate, so fingers crossed 🤞 🤣

I do like all of those as well, I've developed a bad Net a Porter addiction.
Scrolling for hours over clothes I will never be able to afford😫

But I have a massive wishlist and an energy for charity shops and ebay....you never know😉(most will be dupes obviously)

And maybe a rich relative will come out of the woodwork.

I saw some nice tropical prints in tkmaxx recently, good fabric too. Not Farm Rio but you might get lucky.

Also, Anthropologie, maybe on sale or 2nd hand? Lots of nice prints there.

&Other stories sometimes does printed linen short and shirt sets.

Farm Rio did a collaboration with Adidas you could look for - more jackets etc than dresses
