Phase Eight

[Pennies]

Is Phase Eight a lot less frumpy than it used to be or am I just getting older and frumpier?

I think it varies - some of it is very 'respectable', and some of it is much more fun.

I do think this is luverrly:

If only there was a code around.

I love Phase Eight

yy - I've got that maxi dress in red and black. Didn't realise they did a purple. Might have to get that one too...

I"m sure they used to be much more mumsy in a kind of Boden / Joules kind of way.

i think tis grooving up a bit too

you have to have boobs to shop in phase 8

but i got a fab roman-esque green thing in designer outlet for fraction of the price

love it, but don't have any (yet)... dunno what it used to be like as i've only recently discovered it.

I love the fact that their trousers fit me well (I find they are, ahem, a little more generous than other makes).

I have always thought that phase eight was for the stylish and (a bit) wealthy.

Then my mother died and I had to go through her wardrobe.

There was more phase eight in there than anything else

I won't touch it with a bargepole now.

Then again, she died two years ago, so maybe it's had a makeover

Yes I think so, I have bought a few bits later and am not frumpy!

NomNom - admiration for your trendy (late) Mother .

I have that maxi dress and it is boobalicious! You do need a cleavage! I also have it in the long sleeve, knee length one they did last winter. Both very useful dresses. Thats all I have though, I do find most of the stuff very expensive. Look out for 20% off days.

I used to think it was a bit 'mother of the bride' but actually have had some wonderful cardigans,linen trousers,camisoles from there this season,as well as a fantastic grey and white top tha tI love.
I am 43 though

GeorginaW - you are young .

I've just bought this
www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/warehouse/Dresses/Amanda-Jersey-Dress/201022019?colour=multi

it's not really a summer dress as is double jersey ( fine) but it's a great fit and I can wear itinthe winter too with boots and cropped cardi.

I used to poo-poo Phase 8 as being a bit Country Casual but recently have been surprised at how it has got a bit more up to date.

Agree Purplepeony

I bought a silk camisole from there last year and a purple shrug and wore it all the time over christmas.
I think it is good for us women of a certain age,but like any shop,you need pick the look you want and accessorize accordingly.eg.
I wore Monsoon linen trousers,Topshop vest,Phase Eight grey cardigan recently,

GW agree

I'm 43 and clearly old and frumpy. I love it.

code Woman and Home did a code last month- might still be on their website- was for 20% and I used it.

Oh the frustration! can't find it. If you logged into Phase Eight, Purple, and went to the checkout screen, might it still be there in the box?????

You could try searching MN voucher codes- that's where I found it about amonth ago.

Was it ELV22 from Easly Living? Has expired, sadly, but thanks for the thought.
