Haven't posted for a few days and that's because I've been doing loooooong extra hours at work (don't wear Hush to work!) and also reigning it in until payday. The portobello top is still in my head though, so may have to indulge!

Laska5772 · 17/05/2018 15:07

soy I like the Alanis on you also (not Greek widow at all) . Thought id sent that before

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 15:14

finger you scratch that itch —enabling— you’ll always wonder about it otherwise, I return A LOT!
never honestly? I took the v back dress pic just for you but it’s really dreadful on me, just hangs like a sack (and the elasticated waist doesn’t help one bit) but thank you on the lovely encouraging comment...I’m so ancient now that in my quest to accept my older me I see this posting of unflattering pics as character building on self acceptance Grin, still it may look great on others but if you’ve a similar shape you’ve been warned!
Yes the Hush print is GORGEOUS and I can get away on my lower half, lucky you you can carry off the fab jacket!
Let us know what you think of the leopard print dress, reminds me to try on the t shirt you enabled me to buy Smile

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 15:35

Right, final post with character building pics from me for a while...leopard t, nice fabric tempted to keep to go with Frances blk trousers (wearing in pic)
The thing is I have huge boobs AND big curly hair, I’m really not so sure I don’t look like the person from Coronation St...please be really honest: I’m really not sure 🤔
Definitely keeping Alana (comfy and surprisingly boob minimising) and print trousers
TIA

I love that t-shirt SoyYo..I think it really suits you, as do those fab printed trousers!

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 16:07

Thanks Dave leopard print is sooo out of my comfort zone it almost frightens me (I know it’s a “neutral”, was encouraged to try after feedback from never and seeing how lovely cherries looked with that Other Stories jacket)
I’ll mull it over, I don’t need it and not sure I love it enough on me...it’s expensive for what it is so don’t want it languishing in my drawers later when I actually decide to wear it and then go “what on earth were you thinking woman?”

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 16:29

I think the tee shirt suits you, and as someone who sports a pair of 32Ks (previously 38/40K, OMG) your chest seems quite modest to me. But I know what you mean about leopard. I love the idea, but find it slightly scary in reality. I got cold on the train home on Monday, so I forced myself to put that jacket on, and to wear it again the next day, because I suspected I might otherwise have let it languish.

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 16:30

Soyo It looks honestly great on you. I don't think you look like Bet lynch [corrie]. I think leopard print has come along way since then.

bathildab · 17/05/2018 16:32

DaveheCat yesterday I returned a Portobello dress in 8 - they do package them atrociously so it was quite screwed up when it came but I didn't notice any damage.

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 16:40

I have my leopard print ivy hanging up in my wardrobe atm. I think its pretty expensive for what is essentially a thin tee tunic but I am going try it tomorrow with my black leggings and chunky sandals to see how it looks. Will post pictures :)

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 16:40

starry, I haven’t tried the ribbed top on, but I did see it in JL and thought it was quite overpriced. I’m not one who virtuously chimes in with ‘I got a Hush-alike whatever in primark for a 10th of the price’ every time someone mentions a more pricey brand but I did sort of wonder how the price could be justified for that. But - see previous comments about norkage - it’s not something I could wear and it may be exactly what you want.

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 16:45

Thank you cherries and never this is why I took pics of my face too...it’s important to see the “whole package” as it were because with my boobs/curls it could so easily go from chic to ageing barmaid, you all know what I’m getting at. And you both really rocked your leopard prints so maybe I can too Smile
laska thanks to you too, the Greek widow ensemble will be my second ever Hush dress (and totally in my comfort zone but it does need a long necklace to style it, was thinking a leather long necklace or wooden/arty one would also look good and give it more of a boho vibe if we didn’t want silver/gold)
I’ll show DH the leopard t later, he’s always very honest and then will decide.
Thank you All for your fast feedback, truly appreciated it.

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 16:45

I’m having this image of us all stumbling into a taverna in Greece at the same time, all dressed in a variation of Greek widow.

DavetheCat2001 · 17/05/2018 16:48

bathildab - I may end up getting your return!

I am really cross that they sent something out to me in such poor condition. The girl in CS has been very helpful and nice, but their quality control seems to have gone tits-up at some point!

So now I have 2 bloody P dresses hanging up in my bedroom, taunting me that I can't wear!!

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 16:51

You’re right there, Dave. I got a yellow jumper from them just before Xmas with a big oily handprint on the back. I just couldn’t see how it wouldn’t have been noticed. The box even smelled poorly when I opened it - we aren’t talking about a small smudge.

ilovecherries · 17/05/2018 16:52

Smelled OILY!

Laska5772 · 17/05/2018 17:07

Like the leopard on you soy
I seem to have stated something with my Greek Widow.. honestly we will now all be thinking of it when we wearit. NeverI sm on a hovercraft right now ! #exciting island transport! Bumpy soy so can excuse my crap typing Grin

Ellapaella · 17/05/2018 17:13

SoYo the leopard print top is another hit for me, looks great with those trousers. If I'm totally honest I agree with you about the v neck back dress, I don't think it flatters you. Everything else really looks great.

neveradullmoment99 · 17/05/2018 17:16

Laska A hovercraft!!! Bloody hell you lead an exciting life Wink

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 17:18

laska Greek widow with kipperfeet GrinGrinGrin I think you have a gift with words!
On Hush quality control really really not good enough! Things I tried on today were all very wrinkly (except T) but thankfully not smelly or damaged...I’ll stop now even though I really want to try more (and the star necklace and star beach bag) and sit it out till sale time.
Thankfully I’ve got 2 full on weeks with business travel (off on Sunday afternoon) so will not have much time to ponder fashion

user1487671808 · 17/05/2018 17:24

SoYo everything looks lovely on you except that horrible wrinkly dress, I also love the shoes you’re wearing in the leopard print top pic. I have the jumpsuit in that floral print and love it but those trousers look fantastic too.

Have a weird feeling I’m buying everyone’s cast off’s and old stuff but loving it. Please keep on buying new stuff and ebaying the old to make room.

Laska5772 · 17/05/2018 17:36

Never I think its the only scheduled Hovercraft service in the world .. noisy bumpy but darn quick (12 mins across solent) . Love it. Ive been over to see DM .Not wearing any Hush seasalt striped breton top seasalt blue crops Saltwater navy sandals and a silver anchor necklace.You are allowed to say ' Hello Sailor! Grin

SoyYo · 17/05/2018 17:54

user Flowers love the print and remember thinking I wanted to try jumpsuit too but didn’t have special occasion to wear it to, very pleased with the trousers as can be worn like harems, monacos, just relaxed vibe

laska ahoy matey! 🤣

ella thanks again x

I look forward to your fashion news 😍

GinandGingerBeer · 17/05/2018 20:04

Soyo those print trousers look fabulous on you. I'm very tempted....
I shall keep my eye out for your size ten return Dave although may need an 8 and don't want to end up with your faulty one 😬
I picked up a nice beach dress from H&M for £9 for my jollies similar to this m2.hm.com/m/en_gb/productpage.0584327001.html but more a banana leaf print (without bananas!)

dontcallmelen · 17/05/2018 20:44

Crikey this is so fast moving I can’t keep up.
@DavetheCat2001 awww man, that is so disappointing 🤞🏻You the get replacement in time.
@ilovecherries that print dress doesn’t look awful, but agree it’s a bit staid, but that leopard print jacket is fabulous really suits you.
@SoyYo iteally like the black dress & the print trousers really look good
The leopard print tee is also I think really flattering & your hair is gorgeous.
@Laska5772 I keep having mental images, of hoards of ladies rocking the alternative Greek widow look😂
