So what online fashion store sells casual/durable/easy to wash stuff like the GAP but is slightly more funky and less mumsy?

hmmmmmmmm

Oh god. Gap is mumsy?? I thought it was all a bit young for me last time I was in there. I am not yet 30. There is no hope for me.

Um, Fat Face and White Stuff?

Fat Face
White Stuff.
(and also rather about Gap being mumsy)

ah, well I haven't been in a GAP for 4 years, so what do I know, but I just have visions of it being very Soccer Mom-ie and now I live in deepest darkest suburbia and drive a volvo I need all the help I can get.

gap very "On trend" these days

Fashion Republic?

Gap isn't mumsy ! I shop at White Stuff too - you'll prob. think I'm now too old for such things and should gracefully submit to M&S separates

wong there MUST be shops in ozztraylia

whAt's soccer-mom btw ?? sounds nasty...

an americanism

yes there may well be shops in Orstrylia but every other bastard will have been to them and i wan tto be diffrint.

Gap don't sell online in the UK.

hehehe at wongs attmempts

... just farking Gap career advice, some other website masquerading as Gap, Groups, Algorhythms and

because of course no one makes any money online? which century are they in?

Sorry suzy, not much help with your search. Where in Oz are you? In the UK I would go to French Connection if I was feeling flush, or H&M.

... or Topshop, although I can't pretend all their stuff is top quality.

Have noticed GAP clothing much poorer quality these days. Anyone else?

GAP aint what it used to be, that's for sure.

Guess they all go down that save-money-knock-out-cheap-gear route at some point.

yep, lots of loose threads and badly sewn seams,plus this week I've sewn up a hole in both ds's polo shirt and my stripy t shirt

Material has become really thin and rubbish. I only go there for jeans now, but maybe not much longer.

LOL at MargaretM's M&S analysis. When I married DH i asked him to threaten to divorce me if I ever buy anything from M&S. I'm sure he's long forgotten, i haven't.
