Pre-teen clothes - too old for M&S, too young for Top Shop

[iloverhubarbcrumble]

Help. 11 yr old DD, loves clothes, pretty stylish (god knows where that comes from).

Has done very well so far on hand me downs from 2 x groovy friends daughters, plus now what she buys herself from Primark, Tammy at BHS on long, long shopping excursions with friends where they spend £8 over a whole afternoon. She lives in skinny jeans, long cardigans and t-shirts with slogans. Oh and appalling small mini skirts, with leggings, which I occasaionlly lose in the wash....

I'm happy with this state of affairs, but she's grown out of everything recently and I need to get her some decent stuff to add to her tat. Boden and M&S would have been fine once long ago! We went to H&M, Zara, Top Shop (too big) and Tammy last night and after 2 hours had found a - yes - a cardi which was deemed suitable! Anyone know of any other shops we should try?

Looks like she'll end up another pair of skinny jeans... - maybe another colour!

New Looks 915 range?

h and m

H&M & Cult maybe?

definitely agree with H and M, spent a lot in there recently for tall 11 year old. have you seen a catalogue called Joe Brown's? Have good sales.

New Look and Primark and some stuff at M&co (up to 13).

Also, don't rule out Tesco/ Asda et al. Their ranges change but always worth a look.

Next? Agree with H&M and New Look.
Debenhams?

stick with primark if she can find stuff that fits. i have a similar problem but with ds1, hes 12 and small, he will no longer wear m&s or boden etc but hes too small for small mens wear and only a tiny amount of mens shops sell xs.

international I think their kids range goes up to 13 if I remember right.

Thanks everyone this is great. We'll take a look at all of these.
