30 somethings... where do you shop?

[Trixicle]

Hi, I am going to need to go out and buy some new clothes soon. The last time I was this size I was in my 20s and although I kept some of my clothes they are very out of date now, and I think I need some grown-up clothes as I am now in my 30s!!! I have hardly bought anything over the last few years and what I have bought are things I could get into -not things that actually suited me or looked nice!

Where do you 30 somethings shop? I am a bit of a rock chick but don't want to end up looking like a teenage girl!

Charity shops and Ebay. I just won't pay shop prices for clothes! I like really nice quality clothes, and certainly couldn't afford to buy them in shops, but I have some lovely things which I have bought online. And I have a small Prada handbag which I bought in a charity shop for 99p. They were convinced it was a fake, I was sure it wasn't. I had it checked out and found that I was right, so I went back and gave the charity shop some more money - it was still a bargain though!

For my work clothes I have been getting phase eight and m&s. I don't ware trousers and I know my size and fit in these clothes so easy to order them from eBay etc as well

I like a bit of 'ethno-chic' and love Monsoon and Anokhi at East, although both are a bit pricey so I usually wait for their sales. I like Phase 8 too, but they don't really go up to my size any more (looking forward to being able to shop there again soon though, hopefully!)

Thanks for the replies

Going to look online now!

Another vote for charity shops! Last year I bought two Monsoon dresses from the PDSA shop for £15 - one was brand new and still had the tags on.

I also get stuff from Next and New Look, and M&S for basics.

(In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a bit past my thirties!)
