M&S vouchers need spending: find me fab stuff !

[Lulumama]

c'mon fashionistas, find me some glorious things ! am pear shaped, and short! now there's a challenge...

have £75 to spend

any particular event in mind? Or just for the sake of spending the vouchers?

get a bag

What do you need? Anything in particular?

sorry ! i went out !

DH just bought me fabola bag from selfridges i have 3 very good handbags.

i need versatile everyday clothes, fashiony but not something i could not wear again next year,, IFYSWIM

How about colours? Styles/shapes?

they have some gorgeous macs in at the moment - I am tall but pear and was v tempted. will find link.

i like bright stuff

tunic tops, shirt dresses, maxi skirts, fitted (ish) tops

have worked out wearing big shapeless stuff is worse for my figure

want the boden rainy day mac, the blue one ! so thgank you for mac suggestion,but not from m&St

better in rl, as ever with M&S site

x post!

it is lovely, but i am coveting

this one!

lol - I have a similar boden one from last season, which is why I had to put the M&S one back!

it really is good for pears though.....

i am hoping to get the boden one for my birthday.

i will go to town and have a wander, just thought i;d get some ideas beforehand

Update your underwear drawer.

Lulumama, sorry but not sure the cut/style of the Boden mac is great for a pear shape, think a low neck wide collar A line would flatter more.
WIll have a look at M&S site and post back later.
Also agree that some lovely undies would be a great start, the "Body" range is super sleek and looks fab under fitted clothes.

Perkin Warbeck, your name has taken me right back to A Level History and fond memories of a damn cute teacher. Sigh!

really pannacotta?

bought new undies last time i went shopping, now i need something to cover them !

thank you all

Sorry Lulumama but think the Boden one looks a bit sporty/shapeless, I always think pear shaped women look better in really fitted, feminine clothes.
This is lovely, bit pale but really chic

DO you prefer skirts or trousers?

This is very pretty and the colour is good

i like the mac a lot

tops are nice, but want a bit more wow factor!

i live in jeans, and i like maxi skirts too

thank you !

Not sure M&S and wow factor really go together!!
Cant see any wow maxi skirts, sorry. Jeans you would need to try, as jeans cut is very personal/specific IMO.
Your best bet is prob the Autograph collection but again they are mainly quite understated...
Per Una often too frilly, but have no idea what you like style wise, other than bright and wow?!
How about some lovely shoes and skin care, they have fab skin care and make up these days?
For clothes I'd try Principles/Monsoon for colour and wow factor.

you are probably right ! i could do with shoes, i live in crocs and flip flops. so proper shoes might be good.

don;t worry, you have been really helpful x thank you , much appreciated

not sure i really have a style, you see !!

good shape
I like it. but will probably be in minority

it is very chic, but i would look like i was playing at dress up in it !

Perkin that dress is trec chic, but not sure how useful?
Do think there is some fab stuff in the Autograph range but not much colour....
