Marks & Spencer Come Shop With Me & Haul - September 2019 - M&S - Over 50 Lifestyle 

Thankyou for this to someone like me who are bed bound great to see around the shops Thankyou x

Hello Caroline, thank you so much for the tour really enjoyed it and nice haul, great bargains 😊 xxx

Great video as always, feel very similar about M&S. You are absolutely right about their handbag prices! Their general pricing also confuses me - i can turn a label over and have no idea if it’s going to be £19.50 or £39.50, quality etc seems to be irrelevant to how they decide.

Oooh, the M & S 90% off sale...I love finding that! I thought it would be soon, typical that it's when I'm busy getting ready for a weekend craft stall though and too busy to look. Glad you found some bits in it.

Bon marche would be good.They are traditionally for older ladies but I have seen a few women in their 20's and 30's do hauls and get some really nice bits that aren't granny-esque

Going to NYC, I would pack light and shop there. You have some great Plus size shopping there. Eloquii, Anthropologie, Maree Pour Toi and Gudrun Sjoden to name just a few. Make sure to pack your long johns! Oh, also check out Eatalia while you are there. I was in London last year and took a side trip down to Chatham, Kent, my birthplace. There was an M&S outlet there and I stocked up on underpants. My favourite part of Marks and Sparks is definitely the food section. We had one in Vancouver when I lived there but we don’t have them here in Texas.

So exciting To see another mature lady on RU-vid. I have just done an M&S haul and I am so impressed! 🧡💛

2 weeks in a row and your notification makes me realise I am late for my boot fair:)

Enjoyed the vlog Caroline 😊, l agree with you about the clothes they looked very frumpy , the best thing l like about M&S is their food never disappointed with that , always tasty 😋 what about a good old Primark come shop with me ? X

Only tend to do M&S now when either 90% off or food shopping x

Thanks this is really helpful! I felt these pink pyjamas in marks a couple of weeks ago and wanted to buy them online but forgot what they looked like. Now purchased 😀 thanks x

Frumpy old fashioned comes to mind, they need to get a grip or they will struggle xx

I love the tan stitched boots , and the fur lined ones , and I really like the tortoise shell boots , they would look great with jeans . And the night wear is always great . Those dresses are really in for the moment, Zara has lots of them too. I tried one on , it was ok , I thought it would look good with boots and a chunky jersey, or denim jacket, I have to agree some of the prints I’ve seen are very 70s . I really enjoyed the vlog 😊 xx

This is a great video, there aren’t enough from M&S on here. I’m 50 this year and while I love M&S their styling swings between frumpy and a bit too ‘try hard’. I’m always confused by it.

Great video. Thank you. I totally agree with you - those frumpy print dresses sent shivers down my spine - they would manage to make 16 year old supermodels look dull!!!

Another great video Caroline. Really enjoying your content.

M&S has very odd ideas about trendy fashion, they seem more comfortable with office /working clothes. Agree with you about the underwear- very pricey. '

I think M&S has been off point for quite some time now and expensive for what it is.

Those boots were nice .👍

It seems like versions of THE Zara dress but in autumnal floral prints are the thing this season. I suppose because I am older and these fashions are quite seventies in style I just find them old fashioned looking and drab.

Enjoyed this look round M&S as our one closed about five years ago and I don’t drive so have trouble getting to other ones of a decent size as they’re all closing ☹️

Haven't done a marks and Spencer shop for years.were I live we haven't got one.stafford is our closest. One.

I love M& S and I try to keep up with Trends but sometimes I look and just cannot imagine the items on a "normal body" of a woman over 40 . I sometimes wish there were "Look" books to give us an idea of how to wear.

Thanks for that fab m n s vlog caroline. very useful for ppl like me who have difficulty going out shopping. agree with what you said there, they never have large bra sizes, fashion has lost its way somewhat and a bit too pricey. it almost feels like no one is asking what we, the consumer, want. i have been shopping in marks since a teenager and it has always been my go to for underwear, but im afraid not very often nowadays. btw, i did chuckle when you said now we come to the mens dept which we dont really want to look round do we lol. cheers. j xx

Sod’s law is if I buy from M and S there is a 20% off day soon afterwards. So I now take a photo of everything I like then order with my 20% off. I love M and S shoes but they are quite expensive when you like so many of them

I went to M&S today, what I found in the one I went to, they only had a few of each size, they seem to be pushing for you to order online, so you either come back and collect item or have it delivered, I was given an M&S voucher, I was given it for dog sitting in June, nothing takes my fancy, I still have not used it, so will wait until the January sales, I really think their clothing are just not doing it for me, those dresses remind me of the 70’s, you wore them with knee length boots or wedges ( showing my age now), I am the same with their bras, I get mine from Matalan. Enjoyed this video.😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The ankle boots with the low block heels were great....the clothes though....😟what are they up to?!

Like you my go-to for underwear was always M&S, but the quality has deteriorated massively. My personal bugbear is that online they have extended sizes, I think nearly the whole range goes up to a size 24, and they also have a dedicated 'plus-size ' range. It annoys the cr*p out of me that I store they carry up to a size 18-20 max. It makes me feel like they don't want 'plus size' people shopping in the store but they are happy to have our money 😠. Great video as per usual :)

Also if you fancy one of those shapeless 70’s throwback smock dresses, Primark have tonnes of them for half the price or less! 😄

Loved that Caroline. Marks do a good range of pyjamas for only £12.50!! Agree 're the shapeless dress though...and the prints a bit frumpy, though Holly seems to look good in them, not so good for 55 year old size20 me!! Thanks again

Sadly I agree, M&S has lost its way. It is my go to shop but I was in there yesterday and I struggled to find anything to love. I bought a whole new collection of undies a few months ago and the quality is not good. Caroline, Where do you shop for bras.

Try a look at Peacocks, they've got some really great items in

Did they open up just for you? There was no one there! I do worry for the future of M&S as a clothes shop, although over the years they have had off times and then seem to get back on track. The long tiered dresses are maybe following on from that Zara dress shape that everyone was wearing in the summer.

Hi Love Emma Hardie balm and a Coronation Chicken sandwich from M&S

I was wondering what camera you use, the audio is very good.

Have to say I'm quite opposite on the dresses. I think a lot would look great with thick tights and nice chunky ankle boots and maybe a nice leather belt. Great to have a look about from the comfort of my sofa though!

How about Matalan and Next. They might be a bit less frumpy 😁. x

Hi Caroline good to see what's in m&s, our store closed couple of years ago and nearest large store is few miles up motorway not ideal if you just want some foody bits or even frumpy clothes.anyway Caroline what lipstick were you wearing very nice . Mo

Great video Caroline. Long time since I went into to M & S, they seem a bit out of sync with the rest of the fashion brands. I would love you to do a Tesco, B & M or Poundland come shop with me 😊 xx

I think a lot of these shapeless frocks are off the back of the Zara one that was so popular this summer (which I also thought was vile).

Hi Caroline I'm loving your videos and these come shop with me.. I'm a new subscriber and a new RU-vidr myself, currently trying to build up the confidence to do come shop with me. Can I ask how you do it? Just walking into a shop and film yourself? Do people stare? Do you ever get told to stop filming? Sorry for a the questions. Have a good weekend! Sian x

Nice clothing but wait for their sale.

Oh dear, the total lack of customer footfall tells it’s only story, it was like a ghost town! I do love M&S food hall, but seldom look at the clothes..x

How interesting! I normally would agree with you but I've just got some lovely things from M&S that I'm really pleased with- some flat leather boots-patterned top with drape that covers my apple body and some gorgeous cashmere.-all at what I consider to be be competitive prices and the quality is great.I'm 63 and plus size and I find their long button through dresses great to wear as a kind of duster coat. I guess we're all different and that's great (and interesting!)

Maybe Materland

I don’t like the fashions at all this autumn, to many flowers won’t be buying any of it 🤮🤮

Those dresses will look fab on very thin and young vintage/retro-loving girls. The willowy, anorexic type of runway model. For the rest of us - no way! Not a great season at M&S. The bags are so boring too. Shame, isn’t it.

Those floral dresses are grim, seen them around all over, hardly suit anyone x
