Purchased this to team up with a floaty brown skirt for a relaxed business 'do' and it was just perfect. I felt extremely comfortable and whilst it was perfect for the occasion it has also been brilliant over a pair of brown jeans; really versatile. I had previously purchased a similar PerUna cardigan/jacket in multi-coloured stripes and as with the first purchase I found I needed to buy extra large which is a size up from normal.

Fun and Versatile
Date:8 June 2010
This was an impulse buy and one I certainly don't regret. Cardi looks great with skirts for a smart look for work. Brilliant with a pair of jeans and a nice added layer over a string-strap top and cut-offs. Because there are so many colours within the cardigan it goes with a multitude of things and the huge odd buttons add a quirky bit of fun. Notice it also comes in shades of red which would be very good with browns and creams. A real winner. I do find M&S sizings a bit hit and miss and have tops and jumpers ranging from size 14 to size 18. I purchased this in extra large and it hangs beautifully with a little bit of 'swing'.

Classic Comfort
Date:29 May 2010
A classic M&S everyday shoe. (not many of those about these days). Perfect for work when I don't want to wear high heels but still want to feel feminine; looked great with long 'floaty' skirt. I purchased a half size smaller than usual and they fitted well. Pity they don't come in black as I would definitely be tempted to get another pair.
Part of Autograph's La Seine trend. A luxurious new look featuring opulent fabrics and monochrome shades with rich highlights for a touch of Parisian chic.
I ordered this top because it is so similar to a very old one I have and love. It arrived today and I am delighted with it. I actually prefer my teeshirts to be a little on the loose side (the fat fairy visited one night and sprinkled a little 'fat dust' around my midriff!) so a size up looks very flattering. I hate to disagree with my fellow reviewers but I really am not keen on the zip sewn onto the back of this top; it serves no purpose and I think it looks a little odd. Also I would love to know where Kitty managed to purchase one for £15!

Delicious
Date:6 May 2010
Delicious is my perfect word for this beautiful skirt. I am a long-term M&S fan and have a skirt that I bought 20 years ago that I still wear and I can see this one will be another I shall have for many years to come. The material is quite heavy so perhaps not as 'floaty' as it looks in the picture but will be great for spring and autumn and summer evenings although maybe a bit warm for a hot summers day. I really appreciate the addition of lengths being shown (short, medium & long could be anything) so well done M&S for this. Would like to know if a skirt is lined before ordering so can this be included in 'composition' as it used to be. Like some other reviewers; I agree - ditch the cheap belts on everything, most people don't want them and this skirt definitely doesn't need one.

Big Disappointment
Date:1 April 2010
From the picture the top looks so nice and I ordered in the navy but was bitterly disappointed when it arrived. This is the second top I have ordered and not even bothered trying on because the material is so thin. If the material were of a better quality this top would be really nice but not as it is. I appreciate that at £15 it's not expensive and I suppose you get what you pay for but in terms of quality the £5 Fairtrade teeshirts are a much better buy.

Poor Quality
Date:1 April 2010
I ordered this top which arrived today. I haven't even bothered to try it on; the quality is appalling. The material is extremely thin and not what I expect from M&S - more like something you would find in the local market!

Spring weight demim
Date:21 March 2010
I simply adore these jeans and I'm so pleased to see them back on the racks. I love the fabric mix (only 81% cotton). True denim is great in the colder months but when the weather turns a little warmer this lightweight alternative is brilliant. For me (a tall size 16) the fit is very good and extremely comfortable. Just two whinges; can you please add some more colours, black would be good as would light blue denim. Also please scrap the belts on all your jeans. I would much prefer a couple of pounds off the price and perhaps an option to purchase a belt at a special price if you buy a pair of jeans.
This stylish short sleeve t-shirt is a good deal for you and for our Fairtrade farmers. It's made from 100% Fairtrade cotton, helping local farmers to invest in developing their own communities.
These t-shirts are such a bargain and a 'must have' for my wardrobe. Wear them smart or casual. At 5'7" I love the longer length but imagine they would be a big disappointment to the vertically challenged so would agree it would be good to have in standard and petite. The one I purchased recently has slightly longer sleves which at 50+ I really appreciate; also much smarter for work.

Let's go nude!
Date:15 February 2010
I love this camisole; a layer of warmth without being frumpy. I have the black to wear under dark jumpers but why are M&S doing this in white. I'm no fashion guru but even I know you don't wear white underwear under light clothing. Nude or cream please to go under white blouses and light coloured jumpers.
