Is that a pouch - kangaroo style??

[thegrowlygus]

and only £125...

[verylapsedrunner]

Bizzare

[midnightexpress]

. I quite like it, though with a funky pair of trainers or flatties rather than those hideous shoes, and a different top. But the yellow get-up on the lhs is monstruous.

[cremolafoam]

so thats what they do with all the left over sweetie wrappers

[midnightexpress]

That's the one cremola - argh.

[cremolafoam]

lime flares
WTF?

[turquoise]

Another corker

[cremolafoam]

oh yes - and with the patent wedge natch.

i'm thinking a casual weekend in Venice look.

[thegrowlygus]

my eyes....my eyes...

How about this skirt with this jacket and for the finishing touch, this mac over the top (or maybe the pink version)?

They are VILE! Is that representative of the whole collection?! On a slight tangent, does anyone else's M&S smell really bad? We have a huge one close to us (recently refurbed) and every time I step in there it smells like a mixture of wet wool, dry cleaning fluid and smelly socks!

[midnightexpress]

this season's It bag?

[JackieNo]

And look at this delightful skirt - it really is a load of charity shop scarves stitched together. and the strange ruffly top too.

[wessexgirl]

I am speechless with horror . Truly grim.

[cremolafoam]

jakieno nonono- its this skirt with that top obv!

[JackieNo]

Strange pattern, and I've never liked those shoe boots. ANd this is just plain nasty, imo.

[JackieNo]

cremolafoam - you're probably right.
How about M&S tries to do the Boden hotchpotch?

[JackieNo]

Bleeurgh (and the pic makes it look like a dress - must be a matching top somewhere).

[JackieNo]

SHe doesn't look any too happy about the whole experience, does she?

[JackieNo]

(and lol at the text on that hat one, 'featuring a large corsage at the side to give it that Per Una touch').

[flowerybeanbag]

I am confused. I am genuinely confused. Surely no one is buying this stuff year in year out? Why are they still doing it? Surely they can't possibly be making any money out of it?

[PuppyMonkey]

In the interest of balance, i would like to say i quite like this:
