Daft Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 £107 wont get you very far these days in terms of clothes! Well in those shops it won't It would in those shops. Stuff is absurdly cheap in places like H&M... I'm guessing because of all the slave labour they use.
nightwolf Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Specially when you buy jeans it doesn't! Though primark atm is great the tshirt are loverly and like 3quid. I find h&m quite expensive...heh ^_^
Letty Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Recently Ive bought: some fake hair (blue, ligt blue, neon green, pink and hot pink) staple bar and a date with Mr john 7 or 8 scarves little neon elastic bands dress from a charity shop
Raining_again Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Specially when you buy jeans it doesn't! Though primark atm is great the tshirt are loverly and like 3quid. I find h&m quite expensive...heh ^_^ yeah, river island is like...o_o My sister shops there and she could spend well over a hundred on 3/4 things. H&M is kinda in the middle, not exactly cheap, but not that expensive. clockwork orange....don't even go there. My friend paid £100 for jeans.
nightwolf Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 dreads? ^_^ ouch 100quid for jeans? I'd DIE! I tend to go in new look except for hoodies unless I can get to manchester for the tall section...which is tiny or h&m, h&m are pretty ok with sizing hoodie wise which is good. But I don't tend to shop anywhere else because I just can't afford it.
nightwolf Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Aye - I got convinced Should be good! yaaaaaaaaay love dreads prefer roving (wool) to actual hair dreads.
Mr-Paul Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Topman and River Island are pretty expensive. H&M and New Look are OK in price. H&M kids section = mega cheap Yay for being short!
Ashley Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Urrrm. 9 i think. 2 of those was the £3 tops from H&M for the beach XD The money? Pocket money ^_^ Pocket money! [old age mode] When I was young I got five pounds and that lasted about three weeks and my parents gave up giving it us[/old age mode] I did see some awesome flipflops in Topman yesterday, but not in my size alas. Oh and speaking of expensive jeans. Bought a pair off ebay for £5ish, looked at the label when they arrived and £50 from Topman. Now I can look like I have more money than sense. Win! (although my housemate does, she spends hundreds on bags, tops, shoes. I went shopping with her one day and she spent £125 on a pair of flipflops. Madness!)

Yeah things weren't as expensive in those days though! *sigh* /memory lane
Ashley Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Went a little bit happy on hellomerch. Although in my defense I did cut it down by about half still; £35 in total, including P&P from USA. Although the yellow one is "youth medium" which while it will fit me, it may be more like a belly shirt :/ If it is I'll just layer up. But look how awesome and colourful they are! (except the last one but I really like the design)
Guest bluey Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 rather predictably i like the blue one!! ^__^!! today i bought a very battered copy of "about a boy" for 100yen. i wanted to re-read it and i really liked the cover! ^_^
Babooo Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 yeah, river island is like...o_o My sister shops there and she could spend well over a hundred on 3/4 things. H&M is kinda in the middle, not exactly cheap, but not that expensive. clockwork orange....don't even go there. My friend paid £100 for jeans. I love River Island! I think its reasonably priced tbh. Obviously its not Primark cheap but I think its good quality for what I pay. I hate the cheap feel of the material in Primark...I bought 3 shirts from there but I just don't wear them anymore. I think it depends on your disposable income on which shops you go in. As I have no job right now, I'm not interested in shopping (exams have taken over my life anyway) but when I was working and getting a reasonable wage for a student, I loved shopping in the likes of Topman and especially River Island:heart:
Ashley Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Never been a big fan of River Island. I get bits in there; bags in the sale, ties and the occassional hoody. Im more into Topman, but thats because they do XXS. And bluey, I should have figured :p
Guest Jordan Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 In my honest opinion, fashion is all bull shit and some of womens clothing isn't worth the material its (hardly) made of. Plus shopping is crap also. I made this observation after being dragged around shops in the North of England for a week. Not pleasent.

Mr_Odwin Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Just bought camouflage and doodlebug from threadless.

I made this observation after being dragged around shops in the North of England for a week. Not pleasent. Shopping can be fun when you have money. New York was awesome because I pissed money up the wall (specifically, £1400 in a week.) But yeah fashion is what you make of it. I don't go for the newest Topman shirts and that because at £16+ I don't think they're really worth it. I shop the sales and all that. Nice, i'm ordering some clothes from the US later today too. It's gonna come to about £80 for 9 T's and some funky show laces The only problem is the wait. Last time I ordered from hellomerch (or theformatmerch as it were) it took at least four weeks to come :/ Although my 'Trust Me I'm Rich' shirt did arrive from the US in a few days.
Caris Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 The place i order from takes 4-5 business days, there awesome.
Ashley Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Well I suppose last time they were pretty backed up because they offered their new DVD free when you spend $35...ah well. Don't mind waiting. Nice when it randomly turns up rather than knowing it should be here in x days. And Odwin; keep meaning to order from Threadless, they've got some pretty cool stuff.
MoogleViper Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Clothes from Topman only seem to suit tall, skinny people. For T-shirts FCUK are the best.

nightwolf Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Clothes from Topman only seem to suit tall, skinny people. For T-shirts FCUK are the best. No they don't it's for short skinny people. I have never come across jeans long enough for me in that place.
Ashley Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 No they don't it's for short skinny people. I have never come across jeans long enough for me in that place. You're fault for looking in Topman :P And its not just for skinny people (and I would argue its still not, I class myself as skinny and its still too big, or at least they seldom have the smaller sizes in stock). They do XXL large too.
MoogleViper Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Yeah NW you really will look silly in Topman clothes. @ Ashley: Yeah they doo the larger sizes but it doesn't suit everyone. It only suits one type of person.
