Will M&S ever learn?

The white shirt and leopard print skirt is the outfit to take you from day to night?? Maybe if she ditches the boots for a pair of comfy slippers and pours herself a glass of

Ooh, merlot- you are naughty!!

I like the coat but not the shade of pink. The dress is too short and looks like school uniform and as for the boots....
I would feel very self conscious wearing the cocktail dress as it doesn't look like you're wearing any underwear.

Gracesmum my petite DD always finds excellent outfits in M&S!

I think I am the wrong proportions! Too top heavy as t-shirts/blouses too tight but trousers are too 'generous' in the hip area compared to my waist & I look as if I have jodhpurs on.

I liked the pink coat too - but wouldn't want it in pink! Wonder if they do it in other colours....

I thought some of the outfits were quite nice - and I rather like Per Una - especially the jeans.

It's also very much about how you put a "look" together and accessorize. This is where I think M&S (and a lot of other stores) could do a much better job - showing how outfits can be mixed and matched, accessorized etc.

Oh dear - I like that pink coat! (What is wrong with me?) I have also seen a TV prog on Belinda Earl and believe she has the know-how to do well, so I will have to just wait and see. In the meantime, my new Per Una cream straight leg trousers look very classy for £35 so I shall remain that sad person - the customer who won't give up on M&S

I think that M&S tries too hard to be all things to all women! Far to many different ranges! Per Una, Classic, Autograph, Weekend etc etc! The length on the garments in the link would be dreadful on me!

I see what you mean by the Ealing comedy barmaid, Flickety! I really am disappointed with M&S clothes these days.

And as for pastel coloured embroidered cardigans....!!!

The only one I vaguely liked was the white affle dress.

Have to say I rather liked the stuff , good on you M/S
.
Belinda Earl reminded me of someone on TV, cannot bring the name to mind.

Hope this doesn"t start another tirade against Liz Jones , as there was a few weeks back , which got really venomous , IMO

still about

None of that is my style - but they have lots of other things too which are. Personally I like Per Una.

In answer to the OP question...not until they start listening.
How about some GNetters submitting sketches to M&S for consideration? I'm up for up.

liz jones article

Perhaps a professional model may have made them look better but I can't see myself rushing out to buy any of the clothes featured.

I saw the article and totally agree FlicketyB to use the term "looked like a sack of spuds" comes to mind for some strange reason.

I thought they all looked absolutely ghastly. Liz Jones is not my favourite journalist but she is usually pretty accurate when predicting successful fashion trends. She looked really frumpy. I wouldn't be seen dead in any of it.
