That is true - mostly I look at the website and think "that would be nice but I don't like the asymmetric hem", "that would be nice if it came in a plain colour", and "that would be nice if it had sleeves" and never see anything that quite seems to be what I'm after. But I'm willing to experiment

I hadn't heard of Baukjen and don't really know Pure. Land's End I once bought some tops from, which involved a complicated argument on Twitter about their delivery methods and then when the tops arrived they were much more pastel than they'd looked on the website. They are now my summer pyjama tops. (There are some possibilities on their website, though there appears to be a shortage of sleeves. Why do so few people seem to think dresses need sleeves?)

(This malaise may well be due to the season! I am also sick of winter stuff, and spending weeks reduced to the things which work in in-between weather is not really inspiring.)

ETA: And the more I think about it, the more I think that lack of clothes is not the problem here. Having finally managed to get Boden to show me a view that wasn't all the clothes modelled by people standing at odd angles by a swimming pool in the middle of the night, my first thought was "oh, they have a couple of possibilities" and my second was "yes, but how many navy shift dresses do you actually need, and do you not think you may already have reached that number?". So I think I do have plenty of clothes, I just don't seem to be having fun with them as I would once have done.
