I've just bought a jumper in Bon Marche. Is this the end for me?

It's grey and unexciting but it's really lovely! Lovely shade and soft. Is this is? Do I have to hand in my style badge now?

I thought you had to show your bus pass to go in.

Blessedbe if that sweater was in Hush people would be lining up to buy it. If there’s going to be an uncool group can I join on basis I have bought shoes from Hotter 🙈 and bought an across body bag from Kipling that is decidedly uncool looking but is like the Tardis and perfect for shoving a massive amount of stuff into whilst still carrying around a small bag. Uncool rools. I bet your new grey sweater is gorgeous.

Didn't know they were still going

TheMarbleFaun · 27/03/2019 20:09

I thought that last week when I bought a Per Una jumper (in my defence it is bright yellow)

Babyfoal · 27/03/2019 20:23

Cut the label out and never speak of it again.

TotalNoob · 27/03/2019 20:25

I think we need a link to this lovely jumper pls op.

AlbusPercival · 27/03/2019 20:29

I’m 31.
I love their jeans, plus size and long length
I also only buy shoes from hotter as they stand up to Toddler chasing

Deathraystare · 28/03/2019 08:07

Harry - you cheeky thing!

They do have some nice stuff there but I do find some of their t shirt like tops are a bit 'thick'

Hoppinggreen · 28/03/2019 08:15

Teen Dd and her mate have been asked to model for a charity fashion show. The clothes are all from M& Co
I haven’t told her yet

Deathraystare · 28/03/2019 10:01

You've done it now! Peacocks popped up on my computer so I thought I would take a gander at the workwear. Tis a slippery slope!

Ratonastick · 28/03/2019 11:05

I’ve started getting ads for Bon Marche. This is your doing OP, not content with your own degradation you are going to take us all with you.

Seen a couple of nice things mind........

Deathraystare · 28/03/2019 11:21

Harry is evil (may work for them too!!!!)

StarlightLady · 28/03/2019 11:25

Not the end, but it is serious!

Ladygloss · 28/03/2019 12:21

I just checked the website - they have nice things ! Reasonably priced too. I might take a venture in

BikeRunSki · 28/03/2019 12:27

Their HQ is local to me, and I know several people who work in fairly senior positions. I am assured that they use some of the same suppliers as Topshop for some items - a particular example was a cotton v neck cardy.

HarrySnotter · 28/03/2019 15:42

I promise I don't work for them! 😂 I can't find a link for my jumper and now feel I need to apologise to all of you for the Peacocks adverts etc. 😂😂

I bought the Happy grey jumper lunchtime - it’s lovely 😊
Thank you to the poster who bought it to my attention x

twilightcafe · 28/03/2019 20:57

I like their swimming costumes.

SapphireSeptember · 28/03/2019 23:38

I own three dresses and a skirt (that I bought two of cos I liked it so much, so does that make it two skirts?) Anyway... Whenever I wear any of the dresses I get loads of compliments. One is a grey lacy affair. I wore it with combat boots, denim jacket, stripy socks and a spiky dog collar. It works fabulously. Smile

SapphireSeptember · 28/03/2019 23:39

Oh yes, and I'm 30!

onedayallthiswillbeyours · 29/03/2019 20:38

You are so brave to share this with the world. I bought 3 tops and 2 cardigans there before Christmas and haven't told a soul Grin. One particular top gets me compliments every time I wear it!

missmouse101 · 29/03/2019 20:44

I buy loads in there. Great for the short fatty I am. Lovely work trousers and some perfectly reasonable tops!

IPokeBadgers · 29/03/2019 20:47

Another short fatty here.... I've bought a small number of things from BM and have managed to find a couple of really nice cotton long sleeve tops that have washed and worn really well....but you do have to be selective!

florriepeck · 30/03/2019 20:38

OP, your BM jumper could be a gateway purchase: next thing could be one of those fleeces with wolves on.
