" well theyll ALL be wearing White stuff" said a mate of mine

[YoureGorgeous]

about a party she is off to.
is this true about wimmin over a certain age

arf
yes is it EVERYTONES birthday this w/e?
i was JOSTLED at the cards in waitrose

gor great plains catalogue through a strange mix but I am liking the second outfit along here

Not as in I look like a prostitute but that I am a messy dresser!

I do cards at moonpig a lot now. It's quite fun!

ah teh rolled up jeans and heels
is it faint or is it me

no its faint dunno why.

I was wondering that - I think it is because they are coming soon so you can't see them properly yet.

my only purchase since xmas

Woah, don;t push the boat out nodders

I have bought a couple of boyfriend jumpers to wear with skinnies for work and grey shoe boots bhs Ha!!

I know have been v good plus gave bags to the charity shop Have not much left!Am going to splurge in May

EAS - I promise I'm not your DH indulging a secret S&B fetish

Cyb - nice one, I like Great Plains, forgot about them too

I've got quite a bit of whitestuff, wear it for work manily but don't want to be into it anymore as it's too twee and dull but am really scuppered as to where else to look for clothes.

have alwys hated Next, Top Shop too young for me, H&M ok sometimes I suppose, french Connection overpriced, Zara crap quality, Gap boring and shockingly bad quality, tops go out of shape after just one wash.

Too old for Diesel/Miss Sixty/Fornarina. In the olden days of more cash/no dcs/tiny mortgage could go shopping in Selfridges for DKNY etc but those days are a misty memory .

Seeing as i can never be bothered to go further than John lewis and M&S on the A34 (too idle to even bother with M/CR city centre ), I'm stuck with M&S and White Stuff.

Feel like my mother.

Warehouse dress is lovely. I linked to it for somebody last week I think. Might have a look for it tomorrow.

I have nothing from White Stuff - have only ever been in one once and didn't like it; even things that looked quite nice on t'internet were shapeless and too long irl.

Went shopping last week and hated nearly everything - everywhere. Mint Velvet had a few nice things and Warehouse is sometimes good.

Other than that, I really don't know where to look anymore. Next is hideous. Zara stuff always seems cheaply made and nasty fibres and shopping there is like a jumble sale. Won't even look in H&M - can't stand it. Oasis is getting more and more lurid and more and more expensive. Ltd Collection has gone horribly downhill the last few seasons.

i want a mink velevt chez nous

agree re prices in oasis

I'm definitely over a certain age

But I didn't even know they did clothes! Other than pyjamas and stuff. Blimey, you live and learn ...

i like whitestuff for tops.. don't like the cut of their skirts though (why are they all the same shape/length???) and trousers are about three inches too long for me.

but then i also like fatface - so sue me!

wouldn't wear any of it to a party though.. unless a very casual daytime party.

Quattro.. you too mean 'white company'... 'white stuff' is different.

Don't like Fat Face.

Where DO you all shop?

All of the below do nothing at all for me -
Wallis
Next
H&M
Zara
Fat Face
White Stuff
Mango
Topshop
Dotty P's

What's left?

er those shops

Lack of reasonably-priced non-middle-aged-looking garments for the over 40's is ANNOYING.

Clothes shopping used to be exciting , now it just feels like an exercise in fending off nakedness.

Am already despairing about what do to when it's too hot to wear biker boots and leggings, that'll be most of my current wardrobe out of the window (and I've only just come round to the idea of leggings again, ffs)

i know
what WAS i wearing beofre jeggings

"Clothes shopping used to be exciting , now it just feels like an exercise in fending off nakedness"

ROFL

Have ditched jeggings and am a lot happier as they lull you into a false sense of security and make anything else feel tight Proper jeans much more flattering

I wouldn't be seen dead in leggings OR jeggings though.

So what CAN I wear, when naked isn't an option? ie never - our house is too cold!

ooh blimey not with belts sticking through long sweaters though
