Don't tempt me. :)

Onesies are the work of the devil.

NewChoos · 08/01/2014 21:18

I saw someone in a onesie in a petrol station.. When do you get to he stage when you think it's acceptable to wear a onesie in public???

BaconAndAvocado · 08/01/2014 21:22

Tee hee newchoos the answer is I honestly don't know!

LadyofDunedin · 08/01/2014 21:25

I actually saw them in the 'style' supplement of a Sunday newspaper!!! Aghast ! Awful ...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/01/2014 21:31

Scroll down for mad floral jumpsuit thing. That's my spring/summer go anywhere piece sorted then.

Financeprincess · 08/01/2014 21:40

Yes, I saw the shoes in a mag also. Heinous. Somebody will wear them with the vile jumpsuit, you know that don't you?

MadBusLady · 08/01/2014 21:41

Now for the Percy Pig onesie I have no explanation.

Allinafankle · 08/01/2014 22:09

I saw someone - an adult mind, not a child - walking around Freeport Braintree the other day in a furry onesie and Uggs. Why would you?! Shock

A pop of trellis

ToastedTeacakes · 08/01/2014 22:16

ha, but i bet if these appeared on NAP in calf leather by Miu Miu a lot of people would suddenly be going batshit over them!

Not MN-ers, just people, you know.

Allthingsprettyreturns · 08/01/2014 22:21

I have seen the shoes irl and the height is at odds with what i am sure the design team may have been aiming for

My DDs are sitting on the sofa, avoiding bed, next to me (they are 12&15)

I said should I buy that onsie "NO!!!!"

AmberNectarine · 08/01/2014 23:54

I do actually quite like those shoes.

Coumarin · 09/01/2014 04:37

I was reading the description, waiting for the page to load, thinking, "well metal heeled court shoes sound alright, what's wrong with that? Tut."

And the the picture came up.

I think that it might work if it were a stiletto but the herl just makes them frumpy

I agree. The style is something the queen would wear, but the colour Hmm

I used to always defend M & S, but the last few times I have had a look round their store has made me rethink.

Who are their target market? I used to buy Per Una, but at 55 feel that the clothes are too old for me. Some of the Indigo stuff is OK and some of their jeans are OK, but they have an eternal problem with shrinkage.

M & S are still my go to store for undies though.

Has been the same for every year I have been on here.
