I have been to Marks & Spencers and found things I want to buy!!!!!

[Gingernaut]

Like title suggests, really.

The really have dialled down the crazy for Autumn/Winter 17/18

I bought this rose gold tunic top.

And look!! They've turned that dress the right way round!!!

Look what Twiggy's wearing!!!

Yes, why not do those shirts in plain? I quite like the dark blue one though.

Does anyone on the planet actually LIKE cashmillion? It's so static-y I get shocks off everything, my hair goes mental and to top it off I end up with sweaty smelly pits cos it's not in the least bit breathable!

The dark blue is the best of them, but it is blue (I hate blue). Sorry to be right about the t-shirts. I've just bought this one from JL which I'm hoping might hold up a bit better.

Cashmillion is indeed horrible. I just don't understand the point. It's relationship to cashmere is not even at the level of the margarine:butter ratio. Why bother with it? The world, surely, did not need another non-natural fabric. I cannot understand what it brings to the party.

I saw a lovely purple-ish cashmere cardigan, that I was very drawn to. Sadly, I really do have enough in the way of cashmere cardigans.

A lot of the dresses don't have pockets. Cos, for all their 'architectural-chic' vibe, have pockets. I don;t know about you but I think there is something quite off about producing women's clothing - for adult women - without pockets.

Cashmillion is acrylic. It has that smell problem.

I saw the purpleish cardigan too - it's beautiful.

They have these classic cardigans, round necked in loads of colours. I find them quite useful for work as they are not bulky or too warm. I have lost weight and I need to get a size smaller. This year the ones they have produced are hideous. Look really cheap and hang funny. I will have to go elsewhere.

Their t-shirts are always off too. Funny shapes, weird long sleeves to elbow. I wonder why they don't do Breton tops.

As it happens I just spotted this stripey but not seen irl.

I got really excited by that stripey top, until I realised it was blue and not black.

marks and Spencers used to be great for basics but NOTHING in there fits me, there is always something wrong with the fit of all their clothes and they cut corners.

Aw Remus, I live in navy.

A M and S close to me had a range of Bretons. I'm sure I didn't hallucinate it. It was a veritable wall of Bretons, and installation of Bretons.

Glad you spotted the purple cardi too, Remus. I hovered around it and had to have a firm word with myself.

I've got the stripey 3/4 sleeve top with the embroidered flowers on it. ♥♥♥

This one.

I was in m&s today and there was actually quite a few things I liked

I bought this to wear out to dinner this evening (just pizza!)

I saw that. It's very nice. Bright, colourful and a simpe design.

Simple. Simple design.

I had a Breton from m and s last winter. There were a number of colour options.

I went in last week. I do think the trenches could look ok on some people, and I did buy some of their scoop neck t´shirts and this stripy tee.

I also bought some white jeans though so don´t listen to me. I don´t know what came over me.

M&S clothing business is failing with good reason.

They should stick with what they're good at: Simply Food!

Were they the Limited Edition white jeans, with a zip at the ankle?

I quite like white jeans and have a pair I like very much. Sadly, I've decided I'm a bit too Klutzy for them at the moment. For some reason, I seem to be doing too much to guarantee they won;t get a major spill all over them.

I'm not a fan of those half sleeves on me - prefer properly short or three quarter length.

The half sleeves are fine for me.

They fit as 3/4 sleeves.

3/4 sleeves fit me to the wrist.

Are you a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

I can't remember the last time I bought any clothes from M & S. OK for pop socks and tights but that is about it. Also, not impressed with receiving an email about their beauty box a few weeks ago and when I attempted to order a qualifying purchase when I returned home from work, they were all sold out. If that kind of promotion is supposed to drive customer loyalty, no wonder they are doing so badly.
