I am a sucker for Sainsbury's clothing and often splurge when they have a 25% off (which also applies to the sale stuff too, so even better bargains can be had!). Their underwear is nice too.<br />My local Tesco clothing section often looks like a jumble sale with sale rails all over the place.Flossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-86371467933558294362017-11-26T19:28:41.270+00:002017-11-26T19:28:41.270+00:00I love the top and skirt - I thought it was a dres...I love the top and skirt - I thought it was a dress at first. I find supermarket clothing more miss than hit, it often feels cheap. I do like Tu for the kids clothes though - my daughter says they feel nice on, probably because they don't have horrible scratchy labels.

That is the real problem. The problem that will affect each and every one of us sooner than we all think. <br /><br />Before I became consciously aware and began thrifting I bought stuff from Joe Fresh which is the brand that our super markets carry. At the time they had really decent items that were very well made and reasonably priced. Now though I avoid the whole area. <br /><br />Style blogging is an enabler. No doubt about it. <br /><br />Suzanne<br />http://www.suzannecarillo.com<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-4732047027020396332017-11-22T14:49:10.436+00:002017-11-22T14:49:10.436+00:00The supermarkets could really do well with clothes...The supermarkets could really do well with clothes if they made the experience a little more enjoyable. Their margins on milk and other grocery products are fast diminishing so it makes sense. I can also see from their POV that the only growing area of the fashion market is the cheaper end. So they probably don't want to increase their overheads.Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-55291263737773239462017-11-22T09:38:39.420+00:002017-11-22T09:38:39.420+00:00What a great thought provoking post Gail!

Poorly display, clothes on the floor, not very inviting. You really have to hunt for gems. I agree with you about the fabrics and cut. Very cheap and the finish is often poor. BUT having said that I have been able to find a few gems so I persevere!<br />I think you find a couple of gems with the jumper and skirt. Looks really good on you.<br /><br />https://petitesilvervixen.blogspot.co.uk/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140833533512536372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-47858214604705575502017-11-20T19:12:27.618+00:002017-11-20T19:12:27.618+00:00Look forward to seeing your Christmas jumper!Look forward to seeing your Christmas jumper!Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-90711287046049907902017-11-20T19:11:39.906+00:002017-11-20T19:11:39.906+00:00Thanks Patti - I think the ethical issue is very i...Thanks Patti - I think the ethical issue is very important.Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-31280584837091231352017-11-20T19:10:58.204+00:002017-11-20T19:10:58.204+00:00They are indeed the same boots, and quite comfy so...They are indeed the same boots, and quite comfy so I think they'll be getting a few outings!Gail Is This Mutton?https://www.blogger.com/profile/16624214724309633433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819679183857426219.post-72639440328457776762017-11-20T17:50:22.075+00:002017-11-20T17:50:22.075+00:00Yes I know what you mean about not showing the clo...Yes I know what you mean about not showing the clothing very well.
