So recently I’ve been very lazy on the blogging front and to my two- totally not my flatmates- followers I profusely apologise. Grovel, grovel etc. Anyway I thought it was about time that I delivered some shocking news to the fashion industry: Jane Norman has upped its fashion game and is consequently, dare I say it, fashionable? ‘What?’ I here you cry from your perfectly lip glossed lips, ‘how can Jane Norman ever be fashionable?’ and I admit that before today my lips would have been crying exactly the same thing. However during my brief inspection of the current Jane Norman stock it would appear that the once glorified market stall is starting to finally be competition on the high street. Topshop look out.
For starters Jane Norman is certainly tickling my tastebuds with their bang on trend pleated skirt which is available in coral and pink. Note to self: speak to doctor about this obsession.

| Pink- £36.00 |
 |
Coral- £36.00

They are also really on the ball with colour blocking, with the prada-esque stripes that they’ve mixed in managing to look chic rather than cheap- Jane Norman’s usual design style.
 |
| Pleated skirt skater dress- £38.00 |
 |
| Cape detail blouse- £34.00 |
 |
| High waisted striped belted skirt- £28.00 |
Floral prints also seem to be working well with Jane Norman providing a bevy of floral garments that would be perfect for brightening up our rainy summer that we appear to be having; I mean would it kill you mother nature to follow season stereotype? Summer, as the name implies, is meant to be sunny!

Floral print playsuit- £40.00
|
 |
| Floral print shirt dress- £45.00 |
 |
| Floral print shorts- £28.00 |
However it would seem that Jane Norman can’t quite let go of its trashy fashion reputation as there are still multiple skeletons lurking in its closet. These garments in particular would certainly be more at home with flat cap Dave on his weekly market stall- ‘Ere luv fancy a bargain?’.

| Embroidered bust bandeau dress- £55.00 |
 |
| Studded one shoulder top- now £21.00 |
At least we’ll know what the gypsy wedding cast will be wearing if they do another season. I just hope that for Jane Norman’s sake that they move away from the likes of these garments to focus on the garments that are actually worthy of a place on the high street. After all there’s serious fashion potential here, don’t you think?
