Default anyone bought from COS - 'upmarket' H&M?

I just went a few times to Collection of Style, but havent' found anything so far...

until today. the stuff is cute, I like the style of the shop but I am wondering if it really is better quality than H&M, or just 'better' prices .

it isn't that expensive IMO, but I always debate even $30 if I am not sure whether I will wear the piece more than once. could put it towards something I will wear a lot, kwim?

Anyway, so would appreciate your experiences. Btw, this top I want is almost sold out, so there must be something about COS???

I've not been in there but have seen a few pieces in Grazia and walked past the store but nothing seems to really stand out.

Like you I have to justify spending even a small amount on an item of clothing if I think it'll get very little wear. I'd rather spend £100 on someting and love it than £10 and wear it on a couple of occasions.

I do find if you buy cheaper stuff there is a much greater chance of spotting the exact same thing on a plethora of people

I've bought two things there: a grey/silver top with nice pleated detailing, and a cute leather/wooden necklace. Love them both, and wear them often.

The quality is okay I think, better than h&m and not much more expensive. And I like their collection.

But if you're not completely sure, then don't buy it.

so I finally decided to buy the top after all - especially as I found it in my size (last one) and it is just a simple khaki tunic, so a basic really. can't go wrong with that.
