20% off with a Sparks card from today till Sunday. I’ve not had M&S cashmere before but given the price, have ordered a couple of jumpers to try. Thinking they might be a bit short, though.

I really rate JL cashmere over M&S ..I have their round neck cashmere cardis in loads of colours and some for many years . And of course as you know just 'invested ' in the two chunky jumpers ..

Dave you look great as always .. I hope you are feeling a bit better?

I am working at home (I am, really well on and off Wink !!) .. wearing what seems to have become my 'Home uniform' Stripy Amies! ( the red ones today) with my black s/s raglan sweat .. Did i tell you that I also ordered the yellow one couple of weeks ago from Brand Alley? .. (think it was £11 ! ..quite a bargain)

Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 12:19

Anyone tried the Sintra shirt in green leopard? Whats the sizing like ?. (I note that Hush say it may shrink!) .

Thank you Laska..I am feeling better. I realised that taking my meds at night rather than in the morning helps as I don't feel so exhausted all day..wish I'd thought to do that sooner!

I'm working from home too...actually I do every day unless I have a meeting with my boss.

Going over to one of my son's friends houses after school today with a couple of other mums. There will be 5 children under 3 there..I have bought wine Grin

DavetheCat2001 · 11/10/2018 12:26

..not 5 children under 3!

3 x 7 year olds and 2 x 5 year olds

Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 12:31

What size have you gone for cherries? I was thinking the 14..

So glad you are feeling better Dave Wine sounds must!

I’ve ordered 14 and 16 to see but suspect both will be quite loose everywhere except the usual!

OP posts:
Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 12:39

You definitely wont need a 16.. There isn't any codes around are there ?

Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 12:42

aren't any codes (sorry.. Blush)

Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 12:45

have gone for the 14.. I want it fairly loose, but its difficult to gauge Hush sizing these days .. Hopefully it wont gape across the norkage

neveradullmoment99 · 11/10/2018 12:45

I wish there were @laska. Would contemplate buying the black hush bf jumper as I have two already but they are too pricey as they are. I love the shape of them. I wear them to death!

neveradullmoment99 · 11/10/2018 12:47

They are just the right side of baggy. I love the splits and they are a nice thickness. I have one already in camel and one in the beautiful hibiscus.
I have just ordered the star khaki shirt with the embroidered stars on it. Should arrive tomorrow.

neveradullmoment99 · 11/10/2018 12:48

I had ordered the zebra shirt In a 12 in the past but it was strangely narrow at the hips and fine everywhere else. It was a nice print but I tend to avoid wearing shirts cause I hate ironing them!

Well. I just wasn’t sure, laska. I tried the Emmanuelle dress in JL and had to go to a 16 to even get it to fasten, and it was still pulling. Certainly didn’t have room for its 5% shrinkage. It was huge everywhere else, of course. I was promised a refund for that damaged dress a week ago, and it still hasn’t been processed, so also Angry about that.

Have you all seen the OCT18L free delivery code (for those of you who are not Hush friends yet)

It may be too small for me then , cherries as I am broader than you in the back ..oh well if it is ill send it back pronto!

Laska5772 · 11/10/2018 22:01

Whistles sizing anyone? .ive just ordered some velvet trousers which i can d see will most likely need to be shortened for me and a matching jacket in the sale.. (am thinking about winter 'Do's' and wedding in Denmark I will be going to in the Spring )..Thoughts anyone?

neveradullmoment99 · 11/10/2018 22:15

That's a lovely outfit laska. I find their cocoon dresses come up generous. Never had any whistles trousers. I think they may come up small like some other designer stuff made for pencil like people.

Ellapaella · 11/10/2018 22:21

Never had anything from
whistles @Laska5772 but Love that outfit.

neveradullmoment99 · 11/10/2018 22:36

I see HOF is back up and running!

Laska5772 · 12/10/2018 07:32

hmm.. but I dont think I want to shop there at the moment .. seems like SD has dont the dirty on so many people .. its a hard one as we need good High st options

neveradullmoment99 · 12/10/2018 07:49

Well not sure I would buy from them right now but thought it was just interesting to comment on. I think some of the stock has been reduced. Was looking at a few mango things and they are so cheap. Haven't bought anything from them. The contact address is for the Glasgow shop which I assume they have kept going.

Whatsallthisaboutthen · 12/10/2018 08:05

HLbug I’m delurking to ask where that black jumpsuit is from? It’s beautiful!

neveradullmoment99 · 12/10/2018 08:36

Whatsallthisabout Its a hush jumpsuit. Hope that helps.
