I am on the hunt for a deep chestnut pair of pull on calf length boots.

Anyone seen anything decent?

Also what is up with Toast this year?

Only thing I've bought so far is an outsized grey sweatshirt. Desperately seeking a navy cardigan, I usually get the Boden cropped cashmere one but I'm going through the elbows too quickly these days.

Otherwise I've got a navy silk blouse sitting in my basket at La Redoute and am looking for some woollen wide legged trousers but haven't seen any I love yet. Plus I want some yellow flat shoes (and maybe a yellow belt).

Bought this New Look burgundy boyfriend cardi today, and some ankle boots in the Aldo sale.

I bought a couple of dresses from Hush. The Felix one and Tina. I don't think Hush dresses are designed for my shape. They're not very good at waists. The Felix wool one is well made, good length, but dry clean only which is a no for me and the shape drowns me a bit so it's going back.

The Tina one is better. Very clingy round my bum and thighs, as it's supposed to be I think, but I'll ask a friend's second opinion before I decide if it's too clingy.

Keeping the long vests though. Buy some every year or so. They're a good staple.

MynewnameisKy · 26/08/2017 19:43

Enidbutton yes I find that with Hush too. I am not particularly tall 5' 4" and have a belly. I need a waist or I look pregnant. Sad

The quality is very good though.

EnidButton · 26/08/2017 20:06

My They style there stuff very carefully. If you stand exactly like their models, the dresses work but in real life...

I'm an hourglass shape, I like dresses that go in at the waist. The Felix dress just needs a tiny bit of tailoring at waist level and it'd be perfect. It's triangle shaped.

EnidButton · 26/08/2017 20:07

Oops- 'their stuff'

boldlygoingsomewhere · 27/08/2017 06:35

I find the Hush dresses quite flattering for apples - they cover my bulging stomach nicely without making me look huge everywhere.

Bought a nice olive, wool coat today in TK Maxx. Brand name of Ana Jakobs which I've never heard of before. Fits well and is warm. It's a bit shorter than my other winter coats too.

littleredpear · 27/08/2017 23:58

Sod it.

I want this bag.

There I've put it out there Grin

I should just blooming buy it.

BradleyPooper · 28/08/2017 04:34

You should, it's gorgeous.

Laiste · 29/08/2017 13:18

My navy Hobbs trench has just arrived and it's gorgeous. GORGEOUS i tell you! I love it. It's worth every penny and looks good on me and amazingly fits across my GGs without drowning me elsewhere. Length is perfect at just on the knee as well.

First coat i've had for about 20 years which i will actually look forward to wearing.

happy sigh

DrizzleHair · 29/08/2017 17:14

Which trench did you get laiste? I've got huge norks too so am interested in a trench which might fit...

Strummerville · 29/08/2017 18:43

I am obsessing about this sweater and in fact might just buy it, even though I'm swimming in knitwear and already feel bad that my lovelies don't get that much wear (because I'm in a uniform five days a week!)

Nearlyadoctor · 29/08/2017 20:09

Strummer I really like that jumper - have you bought from Poetry before? Just wondering what their quality/sizing is like?

Jb291 · 29/08/2017 20:21

I just bought this

www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_60514+FFN0042817_-1

It's long enough to come down over my bum and is lovely and padded and warm and it doesn't look frumpy. Not badly priced either. It's machine washable and has lots of zipped pockets inside and outside. Really pleased with it.

I'm after see through long sleeve tops, cardigans to get under a leather jacket and charcoal jeans for a 5ft 1 woman 🤓

Rollerbird · 29/08/2017 20:47

Just got m.dorothyperkins.com/en/dpuk/product/black-collarless-faux-leather-jacket-6898087 this 25% discount on new seasons stuff until 3 September

Strummerville · 29/08/2017 20:47

No, I haven't, Nearly. It looks a bit delicate, doesn't it? But so soft and snug. Hmmm

mowgeli · 29/08/2017 21:05

Oh and I've bought this Wink

Pinkvici22 · 29/08/2017 21:09

mogeli The jacket? Where from? I love it!

mowgeli · 29/08/2017 21:14

Pink it's all saints and it's their goatskin one so much softer then cows leather. It is so heavy and thick. I'm a size 6 but got it in a 10 so I can wear a hoodie or jumper underneath I'm chuffed 😎

mowgeli · 29/08/2017 21:17

Oh and I've just ordered a pair of 7 feet apart sneakers
