I thought we were boycotting M&S?
You can boycott if you want to. Some people apparently are. I am not.
They are one of the few places I can get clothes that actually seem designed with my shape in mind so I won't be cutting off my nose to spite my face. I shall just refuse to use mixed sex changing rooms - easy enough, I know my size for everything I buy there anyway.
I like the M & S ankle boots. The New Look ones are a bit too chunky for my liking, though I think some people could carry that off. Not me though. I am too prone to looking like a duck waddling if I get it wrong (short-arse here).
