Following on from the other thread, I need some more inspiration for retail therapy

Jeans from Gap - though may have to change that as sizing seems to have changed and don't fit as well...

Plain tops for layering from M&S.

Bits and pieces from everywhere else... at the moment I am wearing a long cardi from Uniqlo (last winter) a lot and a couple of cord skirts I got from Zara a couple of years ago but haven't worn much up till now...

cocolepew · 30/10/2009 09:59

Next
Asda for their jeans
Dunnes
M&S (not Per Una)
New Look
La Redoute catalogue

Umm think that's it. I buy cheaper stuff for work but now have a uniform and DH has just got a (much) better paid job, so I'll probably be buying from Boden soon [wipes tears of laughter away].

I am 36 and I buy clothes from:

Gap - jeans, jumpers, plain tops, denim skirt
M&S - plain tops, undies
Next - shoes, jeans
Fat Face - jumpers, accessories
Brora - treat myself to a jumper in the Xmas sales occasionally!
That is pretty much it - how boring!

cocolepew · 30/10/2009 10:03

Oh I'm 41 in Nov.

I do buy bits and pieces from other places, but the bulk of my wardrobe comes fron these shops.

Limited Collection at M&S
Top Shop
Some bits from Zara/Monsoon

When I am feeling flush I like DVF, See by Chloe, Milly, Tory Burch, Marc by Marc Jacobs.

When really, really flush I like Temperley, Matthew Williamson, a little D&G and a bit of YSL.

When I win the lottery I fancy a bit of Chanel

It's funny how we like to buy different things from different shops.

I wear jeans (I don't have any other type of trousers at all) or dresses only.

NickNemo · 30/10/2009 10:31

Lets see. I am 30, btw.

Basics from Esprit.
Jeans, Levi's, though I recently bought a pair from Reiss that I quite like.
Work trousers from Banana Republic (oh joy, they do a petite length that actually fits)
Work shirts from Marks.

That's it really!
