In The Changing Room At ... M&S

Ok, I'll be honest I got the idea for taking photos of trying on clothes in changing rooms from the fabulous blog chloelovestoshop. I love Chloe's blog, style and Instagram and her clear and really helpful shots of her in a changing room made me think that I could show you pieces that I've spotted in store. A cost neutral haul. It's January, you get it!

So then I started thinking I could maybe turn this into a blog series - where I go into different store's changing rooms, take photos, and probably get escorted out by the store manager for being too long in the changing room with my camera shutter going off! Please let me know if you like this idea or not. You'll have to bear with me because we all know changing room lighting is chronic and the space is tight, so please excuse the dodgy photos but hopefully you'll get the gist of what I'm trying to show.

So my first changing room is at Marks and Spencer. I've literally been brought up on their steak pie since I was a child. My Nana instilled in me the virtues of good old M&S and showed me that quality rules over quantity and I will never tire of M&S. And thankfully over the past few years their fashion is now holding its own amongst the fast pace of the high street.

M&S Collection Funnel Neck Flute Sleeve Jumper

THE jumper of the moment is this gorgeous pink flute sleeve. Also available in a dark grey. The fit of this jumper was so much nicer than I thought it would be, it hangs perfectly without clinging to my tummy. It's cropped but not silly cropped. It's so soft and I think the sleeves will be more user friendly when eating than some of the other massive sleeves around at the moment. £35.

Limited Edition Striped Fluted Sleeve Blouse

Perfect for spring, this cotton striped shirt looks great with jeans and as well as the fluted sleeve, I love the shirring elastic detail on the arm. £29.50. 

Limited Edition Embroidered Turtle Neck Blouse

This top was my favourite find in store and I would have bought it but I think I need to try the size up as this was a little too tight around the neck when buttoned up. £29.50.

Per Una Ruffle Tipped Jumper

This pretty jumper with detail white edging would be a great work wear piece or for a more smarter casual look. £35.00

Limited Edition Embroidered Funnel Neck Top

This is such a comfortable top to wear but at the same time keeping its shape. I would get this but I just don't trust myself (or my washing machine) with a white top. The embroidered detail on the sleeves though.. £35.00

Per Una Striped Shift Dress

This is not so casual that you couldn't wear it to work but equally it would look cute with bare legs and converse. £39.50

M&S Collection Floral Print Shirt Dress

And I adore this midi length shirt dress. The pattern is so pretty, as is the piped edge collar and belt tie. I can see this worn with black ankle boots and a leather jacket. £39.50

So that's my latest picks from M&S. All these items were in store last weekend.
