Hush A/W 18 - Can't think of anything snazzy..its all about the clothes innit!

[DavetheCat2001]

New thread!

@Skimbleskanks I am size 10 and wear small aimes. I like them relaxed. I've not tried on the extra smalls as they've not had any in my local JLso I don't know how much smaller they are.

Laska it’s very easy to get into comfort buying, it’s a brilliant distraction from Rl problems, good that you have taken stock & sent some stuff back, if you really can’t see yourself wearing or suiting your lifestyle, I’m trying very hard to get into the same mindset. I have a wardrobe full of stuff that I don’t really wear & it’s madness keep adding to it.
I Also have other issues going on that I need to address, dd ongoing health problems & a lot of day to day care of dgd which is bloomin exhausting.

Laska I am 100% guilty of comfort buying too, especially when my mood dips. Then I get buyers remorse which just makes me feel worse!

I impulse ordered the leopard Hoxton boots from Boden over the weekend..I have about 8 pairs of boots already, I really don't need them but they look so good and I could imagine wearing them with lots of stuff..blah..blah.

I need to wind my neck in thoughts I am seriously overdrawn..sigh.

@Laska, the holes can also be caused by a belt if you wear one. I remember a style and beauty thread about exactly that.
Good for you returning. I ordered the tansy dress and wore it to work today with black leggings and my ankle boots. I felt good in it. The only thing was to be mindful bending as it is pretty short!!! Have decided to return the skirt to hush as I find it a bit 'per una' No offence if you like that collection but its just not me. Also the zebra dress, I really love it but am between sizes. Still considering what to do....

@Dave - I also spend when in a low mood and then get buyers remorse. Its a bit rubbish isn't it?
On a plus Dave, looking forward to seeing your boots!
Did you keep that hush dress - the burgundy one?

Dave yy I am so guilty of this when mood dips, I think it must be something to do with serotonin levels & buyers remorse is such a mood downer as well, bloody complicated isn’t dealing with life sometimes I seriously feel like running away at the moment.

I have to say that I live in boots and wear them to death so rarely are they a waste.

Oh and got a response from Hush. Ive to return my zebra skirt for the garment technologists to look at They offered to check the hem of the floral one [ I said I had been interested in purchasing but not now] However it is clear from the website that it is unhemmed.

Laska those Clark’s boots are really nice, I went & tried them on especially like the grey, but they looked a bit to ‘heavy’ on me I’m after a lace up or buckles that I can tighten but with a neat look, not sure they actually exist apart from ones that cost £££.

Garment technologist my bum, probably Fred in packing.

Dave - I'm exactly the same, I'm most definitely a comfort shopper. I believe this item will be the one to make me look / feel fabulous.

The feeling never lasts though....

@neveradullmoment - yes I did keep the burgundy dress. I was thinking the leopard boots would go well with it as it's so plain, so a statement pair of boots would lift it.

Seems a lot of us use shopping the same way, and Brummie I always think that every item will be the one to make everything better.

@neveradullmoment99 it doesn't really take a 'garment technologist' to tell you that clothing needs hemming! Honestly, sounds like any excuse to wriggle out of a refund! I hope you get it sorted...
@DavetheCat2001 I'm guilty of thinking a purchase will solve all my fashion woes.. Then it arrives and almost immediately I start thinking about the next thing I want/need. But.. Those boots are gorgeous and actually shoes, boots and coats are always a good investment as they are the thing that pulls an outfit together. Please post some pics when they arrive.

We are quite close to the end of this thread.. Anyone up for starting the next one?

I'll do it. Can't think of a fancy title though..
