i went to Marks and saw some nice stuff. - Marks fans this way

[Armpitt]

I liked ( and bought) this in black www.marksandspencer.com/v-neck-jumper/p/p22379655 - obv usual website disclaimer. Pity not in a better fabric but will look ace with a vest under and my leatherette trousers.

also this coat was LOVELY in grey www.marksandspencer.com/buttonsafe-wool-blend-double-breasted-coat-with-cashmere/p/p22312160

and would have liked this if not so long www.marksandspencer.com/cotton-rich-striped-pencil-skirt/p/p22357825 here

That grey coat is lovely though

I agree Bill. I don't know what half of these things mean.

frankie
Yes,that is the one.
It is really nice.
I had some navy ankle boots from Marks before Xmas that always get compliments too.
I think there are some gems in amongst the rubbish.
I have said before the problem with marks is too much stuff aimed at too big a market.
Simplify!

I actually think this season's Per Una is better than usual - less twiddle for the sake of it. I got the grey/yellow duffle coat - it's beautifully made and cheers me up every time I put it on.

Also a lot of love for M&S jeggings which actually FIT.

Ive just ordered this thought it looked quite whistles-esque. www.marksandspencer.com/palm-print-bodycon-dress/p/p22357670 hasn't arrived yet, also can't work out whether there is blue in the dress or if print is just white. We'll see. I haven't managed to buy anything from marks for ages it just never fits.

I really like the shape of the jumper - very me, and I like a little peep of back of an evening - but HATE that their knitwear is nearly all either acrylic or cashmere. I'd love a wool/silk/cotton mix for example.

I went in last week and thought nearly everything was absolutely disgusting, and I'm usually a Marks fan for certain bits and pieces. The Birmingham store was all icecream pink, paired with apple green, with occasional splashes of orange. It was hideous.

This is a good example of the disgusting pink stuff

I quite like that dress remus, just wish it wasn't in pink!

Unusually for M&S, it is even worse irl.

Haha I have the jumper! I LOVE the coat but bought similar recently in Cos.

I like the skirt length I am not tall enough for the stripes but have a friend who wears that sort of length and she looks so good in them. Its an adjustment as I wear a lot of fuller midis and now wouldn't be without.

I love Mark's but remarked on the frump thread that when I went in yesterday, it was a sea of yellow and green cashmillion, it was all a bit overwhelming

I don't mind a bit of synthetic in some things helps the drape/skim if you have boobs!

They have beautiful array of green and blue shades in their cashmere. Beautiful. All shoved at thd back of marble arch in plastic.

I like their cashmere, but I'd also like to be able to buy other nice jumpers there, which are not as warm/expensive as cashmere but are not bloody acrylic or, even worse, 'cashmilon' i.e. acrylic pretending to be something nice.

I'm quite bummed that their cashmere round neck looks awful on me. Even DH commented on how unflattering it was. It made me look heavy - I could return it fast enough. Really disappointing as would love to buy my cashmere there - lots of colours, discounts, and M&S lady said they use long fibres. So, they are prob fab on a different body shape than mine.

The problem with clicking on the links on this thread is that I am now getting ads featuring the worst M and S has to offer down the side of my Mumsnet.

I wish I hadn't clicked on that vile pink dress

Nice palm print dress, Brillenbar - hope it works out as a good, slim print dress is great, but hard to find.

Bunbaker - but it's, 'This season's must-have' dontchaknow?

I bought an emerald green sweater from PER BLOODY UNA last week. I'm only 42. Help!

I was in there yesterday and today. I hate that shade of green that M and s are currently selling. Does anyone look good in it?

I went in there looking for a sweater this week I just wanted a black, round neck, merino or fine wool sweater. Surely not too much to ask?

Frankie, I ordered that blouse yesterday after they sent me a 25% off voucher, glad to hear it's nice.

That bodycon palm dress looks fab, I love that shape and the print is classy.

they do that palm print in a silk shirt too
