I saw a nice Mac today but it was <whisper> Per Una...

What do you think. It's nicely tailored but unsure if collar is a little flouncy?

sorry too dressy for everyday wear I reckon

I prefer a pattern to amke a statement

Mmm, I like that one. Unusual print and not too floral.

That's gorgeous cyb.

its also still £120 in the catalogue which came today!

lady, I like it. Pity it only comes in brown though. I'm looking for something similar in a creamy/beigey colour.
Like the patterned one too, but limits what you can wear it with...pattern + another pattern = clash

IWILL it is more bronze than brown really. Not a dull brown anyway. And they have 20% off it today which makes it £63. < fiddles with credit card>

go for it then! :)

too flouncy for the summer! you couldnt wear it with teee shirt and jeans...its a wedding mac

I knew as soon as I saw the thread title that this was my mac! Impulse buy (esp given I am pregnant, not showing yet, but won't last the summer). I adore it, gorgeous lining too. It's not for everyday though, definitely more of a wedding/occasion/wear with killer heels mac but I feel fab when I wear it. Can't believe it's discounted - was £89!!

Nice mac Lady, I think it would look great with jeans and t shirt.
The patterned floral mac for me there's a bit too much going on and is more a wedding mac imo.

I reckon it'd be difficut to keep it pristine - the collar looks a bit difficult to iron!

Don't think you could iron it, it would melt I reckon. It is smart but I think you could style it with a plain T, skinnies and pumps. And yes pecan (congrats btw) the lining is gorgeous. I think you'll be able to wear it after the bump has gone, can't imagine it would date too quickly.
Have ordered

Oh why, oh why do I click on these things? Now I want cyb's Kew mac.

Lady, that is fucking hideous. Are you mad?

Cyb's on the other hand is a cracker.

cybs would be good as camouflage against wallpaper in a rundown indian restaurant.

the per una one - wtf with the collar

Sorry it looks like a dressing gown. A brown dressing gown.

at indian restaurant although still buying it

I want to like the M&S one, I really do, but I find the collar too speziale. Plus I find the use of the word 'repellent' slightly too honest off-putting.

Hmmm.... they just can't leave the frills alone can they? Per Una have done a nice looking mac there, til you get the the collar.

It's a no from me.

Don't flame me. Take it as my young-ness, but I really really don't like that jacket cyb. UGLY!

The original jacket on the other hand is uber cute! Who cares what is too dressy for day time? Wear what makes you feel good. I would definitely wear that jacket during the day! Collar is a little special true but it is pretty. :)

guffaw at 'speziale'

lady - I dunno - normally I would say, if you like it, then buy it. But, the frilled collar looks like it doesn't even do up to the top - so if it rains there's quite a bit of you unprotected. Brrrr.
