I’m in my 50s & love fashion – I did a bargain M&S autumn haul, my two-second hack makes clothes so much more flattering
A FASHION fan who is in her fifties has revealed a savvy shopping hack to help make clothes look so much more flattering.
Anna Maria Kalebic went to her local M&S to revamp her wardrobe so it’s ready for Autumn and revealed a two-second trick whilst doing her shop.
The fashionista, who has a passion for sharing shopping tips for those over the age of 50, explained how M&S has “lots of good additional pieces” currently.
In one video, she says: “Come with me on my search for some autumn knitwear at M&S.
“There are certainly lots of things catching my eye in my local M&S, but I’m here for some basic knits. Let’s go and try them on.”
She first starts off by showing the camera a cosy jumper.
Anna Maria says: “It’s super soft; it’s called Cloud Yarn and it comes in a few different colours.
“It comes in a cardigan too. I really love this pink one.”
The style queen then suggested a shopping hack for those who were listening to her video.
She says: “I sized up all the knitwear.”
Anna Maria then styled a pair of jeans and trainers along with a V-neck knit in grey.
She says: “This one was under £20, such a bargain and a good staple for autumn and winter.”
Anna Maria then tried on a Pringle style jumper which was a brown jumper, with a blue and orange diamond pattern on it, along with the same pair of jeans.
She says: “This is more of a statement knit. I loved it with these jeans, which are also M&S; they’re the Carrot Leg jeans.
“I tried this one on medium for an oversized look.”
She also revealed how she is on the hunt for some chunky boots, and found a pair of real leather ones for £65.
Anna Maria says: “Love the price.
“As always with M&S, the accessories are so lovely, really good designs, and good quality.
“So many great bags for autumn and winter. Love this trench, by the way.
“So many stylish boots and bags.”
Her video gained lots of attention with many fashion fans rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I’m absolutely loving M&S’s Autumn/Winter range!
“I’ve already bought those chunky black boots.”
Another added: “Pringle style jumper looks amazing on you.”
And Anna Maria replied: “It’s not what I’d normally go for but it’s so nice.”
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
