I try to stay loyal to M&S, really I do, but this morning's trip made me really angry.
Things I could not buy for love nor money:
a plain cotton or cotton mix work dress with short sleeves
a cotton jacket, or mostly cotton jacket, for work, without a polybloodyester lining
a skirt for work that was in mostly natural fibres and wouldn't have looked like a rag after an hour
a t-shirt bra that wasn't padded to high heaven, had at some point been near a natural fibre and was in my size
Things that I could have bought, had I been mad enough to do so:
a brown dress that looks like something a flasher would wear in the park and would have come to my ankles here
a skirt made of tinfoil here
a strait jacket here
something that looks like a cross between Lady Macbeth, Mr Happy and Abigail's Party here
A lab coat here
My own personal circus tent here
Who the fuck designs these monstrosities? And who the fuck wears them?

at the canary wee willie winkie dress!
I went in on the 20% day and had a good look round the entire store. All I came away with was a pair of wide sandals, a slip and a multipack of knickers.
When I was plus size I used to get half my wardrobe there, as it was one of only 2 stores on the high street that stocked my size.
I'm smaller now, so have a lot more choice. This year I got a lot of decent summer clothes from oasis, zara, h&m and uniqlo - they delivered.
