I went I to the Llandudno branch today, which is admittedly, a small one.
But such horrid clothes.

Garish colours, crimplene look alike fabrics, dreadful styles.
I am no fashionista, but I bought nothing. I may be a naturist this summer.

Is it just me? Am I on old fuddy duddy?

M&S have a particularly nasty shade of flamingo pink this season...and a blouse with actual flamingos on!

It could be interesting to compare the prices of items sold here to similar in the UK, we get terrible price hikes here on anything imported from the UK. Compared with items from other EU countries.

I will try the big branch at Cheshire Oaks- Glammanana, have you been?

I wonder if the long jumper I bought was a return from a bigger store - it has two pockets on the front and is in pure wool. I haven't seen them (other than that one) in our local stores.

And it is a nice rust colour.

I had a success yesterday at M&S. I bought a long wooly, it's so warm and was under £40. I feel like one of those scandinavian detectives in it!

Iam64, I do hope you don't mean Wallander! grin

I should retract my comments about jumpers; to my utter amazement I found a cashmere jumper in M&S yesterday- reduced from £170 to £19.99!
I know it'll be a whatsit to wash but.........!
BF not impressed, she'd walked past it 15 minutes earlier and not seen it smile!
