Oh I used to love Boden. Must look up their website- not that I can afford the stuff!

www.birdsnest.com.au is really cool. Lots of funky bits and pieces, fast delivery and 100 day return policy.

Other than that site, I use Myer, Jeans West, Cotton On, asos.com, nextdirect, M&S is a bit old for me but I shop on there for my children's clothes as the quality is good.

I don't really mind where I shop, if I happen to be in Big W or somewhere and I like a top I'd buy it.

I hate clothes shopping, but will be getting my work stuff from the UK if I dont find any bits I like from Rockmans.

I was in Betts the other day looking at leather boots and they sell more non leather than leather

Most of my clothes come from Rockmans, especially my work stuff but also my casual stuff. Very limited in Darwin for clothes shopping. I occasionally get bras from Target when they are on special offer.

Default Re: Where do you buy your clothes from?

I don't tend to order clothes online as I am hard to fit. I just get depressed when I try on clothes, as I don't fill the tops, and if they fit on my waist they are way too big everywhere else. (33 bust and 28 waist, 35.5 hips) and they are always miles too long as I'm shortwaisted.
Even more depressing when your daughter tries on the same clothes and looks good in them- she has a 36 bust to fill the tops out.

Does anyone shop at Rivers? We stumbled across a clearance store yesterday and got some jeans, clothes for kids etc, seemed ok...

Ive bought heaps of shoes from there and some tops and they were quite OK - shoes were fab but they have closed our local store and the one nearest to us doesnt seem as good, went there the other week and the quality had gone downhill.

I used to love the sandals I got from there.

I just bought a pair of trousers at Ojay in Hay St Mall. Everything was 50% off so had to have a look. I may go back in next week to see what else I can pick up.
