Mary Portas: I Heart You!

Mary Portas- Secret Shopper: Copyright Channel 4

There’s something very compelling about Mary Portas. Whether it’s her severe hair colour and cut or wonderfully bonkers wardrobe, she’s a very watchable person.

I admire her crusades (last night it was better customer service) but when she’s on screen, I have to admit, all I’m thinking about is her blingy accessories or what colour her eyeshadow is.

See, now here’s where it becomes quite shallow- yes, she’s a positive role model, but honestly most women don’t watch for her retail skills, they watch for her ever changing fashion.

I, as I’m sure do many others, love her signature hair cut combined with tailored and trendy clothes, which make the most of her long frame.

It’s no coincidence that websites and magazines are bombarded with news on what Mary’s worn the day after she’s appeared on the box.

Her accessories are particularly praised- again I love the knuckleduster ring and statement necklaces she sports; she’s become a slightly unlikely style icon.

If you can’t get enough of Mary either, the good news is she’s on for the next few weeks stepping up her campaign for improved customer service.

Next week looks hilarious, but while that’s meant to be the focus, I can already see my mind wondering to where she’s got her boots from...
