I love the look of linen, and to be fair they did have some very pretty white linen shirts; but although I'm always very tempted by it, I have painfully learned that a) white looks like hell on me b) my track record on ironing isn't everything it could be and c) by the time I've shlepped into London on the train, anything linen I'm wearing is crumpled and sticky. :(
I did buy some coloured linen-mix jeans, though.
I really liked M&S when they sorted out Per Una and started selling quite flattering clothes - they still have a lot of the same shapes, like fitted dresses and skirts, but most of the colours and patterns were ...evil. M&S always, always tends towards acid pastels rather than deep or muted colours. The Autograph range is very nicely made but it seems incredibly unwearable (http://www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B00188K4CC/ref=pd_sbs_3/202-6755578-9857432?ie=UTF8&mnSBrand=core); and I'm thinking, why don't you make some fashionable clothes that your core customer might like to buy?? Eh? Trust me, your core customer is not buying viscose jersey playsuits.
