Oh, I forgot, soy, it maybe wasn’t my wool coat I posted a photo of me wearing, as that’s been at home all summer, not here. It might have been my leopard utility jacket that I bought in Other Stories in the late spring. My coat is actually last year’s, but it looks identical.

melen unfortunately no, the boots have a side zip but the buckles are just for show, even if as you can see in the pics they have adjustable holes...if you have narrow feet they’ll be too wide as I have E fitting (wide feet) and even on the tightest buckle they are roomy.

Yes cherries it was the OS coat I was thinking of seeing you wearing and looking fab a few threads back
Do you have the Sosander leopard too? I really like the slim cut on it and there’s a snow leopard version I’m tempted to order/try...

Yes, I got the Sosander one last year. I just love it. Had they had the snow leopard last year would have been tempted by that instead, but don’t need any more leopard!

Aww ok Soy thank you.

SoyYo · 21/10/2018 11:27

Is it TTS cherries? I think I’ll try the snow leopard version (leopard camel shades wash me out unless it’s the right camel shade)
Love the slim shape. Should I go for a 12 or 14? 🤔

Mine is a 14. I could have taken a 12 on my hips, but I need the 14 for the boobs, and I like to be able to button my coats (old fashioned gimmer). Excuse the rest of the look. Slippers and no hair.

Thanks cherries it looks great! Love the slim cut and with my 34FF chest looking at the size chart I think a 14 is probably right (also like doing coats up properly and not feel like a stuffed sausage!)
They also have a fab leopard scarf which is great value and would go with anything black AND a pleated black coated skirt (leather look) which is very unusual but probably too long for my height.
Never knew this website so thanks again for the tip 👍
I’ll let you know if I order, I’ll get 10% off too

Pretty sure the ASOS boots come in regular width too @dontcallmelen. I was just looking at them and there were some others in the 'you may also like.....' bit.

SoyYo · 21/10/2018 12:13

Well spotted and thank you gin!
melen see the link, standard fit AND half sizes which were not available in the wide fit version:

dontcallmelen · 21/10/2018 12:16

Thanks Gin will have a look, I always forget about ASOS I think I need a pair with buckles or laces that you can tighten, as have stupid twiggy legs & if boots are to loose around the ankle I look like a golf club.

dontcallmelen · 21/10/2018 12:18

cherries coat is fab & again really on trend, looks very good on you.
Thanks Soy

SoyYo · 21/10/2018 12:28

Arghh Boden also have 25% off today and their leopard fur coat which I think also looks great would be roughly the same £ as the Sosander snow leopard with the 10% discount.
Do I kill 2 birds with one stone (as I was also lusting after a fur coat) with the Boden which might swamp me instead of the Sosander snow leopard which is a lovely slim cut?
Decisions and first world problems I know...help me decide!!

Oh, fur one :). It’s nice and it’s jacket length. The Sosander one isn’t fur. There is a slight ‘fuzz’ to the fabric but basically it’s a plain coat in a leopard print. Sosander are great with refunds, really fast.

cherries I’ve ordered both Blush and on receipt I’ll decide which to return. I’ve held off ordering AW things this year, well not much anyway and I’ve been hankering after a leopard print or fur coat for ages! I’m not one to do things in half measures! Grin

I’ll report on receipt next week and you can all help me choose with RL pics rather than model pics on a website. What Fun!
I highly rate Boden coats quality so have high hopes...

SoyYo · 21/10/2018 13:28

And I’ll blame you and this dangerous thread if I end up keeping both 🤣🤣🤣

I need to have a good look at Boden after I take DD back to the train. 25% off is a worthwhile discount. I sort of back away from Boden now as they were about the only place I could dress myself at 22/24 but I do find their clothes good quality.

hello..

apologies for posting pissed on friday night .. it had been a crap week and final straw was friday visiting v elderly parents which is always difficut esp as my mum is really declining now. .. .. The really good thing was that even though i was sloshed I posted here rather than emailing estranged sister which I could have done , i was that upset which would have been a Big mistake..

I should tell you (but not for sympathy, but because I feel I owe you an explanation for my drunk posts) was that one of the reasons i was so upset was having to make the horrible decision on my own to have our beloved cat pts last week.. ..and then having to be in the empty house also on my own (as DH works away all week) for the rest of it.. It also completely f'd up the diet as I couldn't really make myself eat for three days and then hit the wine big time on Friday .

Anyway thats the explanation ..

Laska5772 · 21/10/2018 15:46

Anyway back to the important stuff of clothes! I am seriously tempted by that Boden coat.. what size did you go for Soy?

Laska5772 · 21/10/2018 15:48

. but then If i did buy it, would it just stay in the wardrobe?. Thats the thing..

redtulip12 · 21/10/2018 15:51

Good to find you all again. There doesn't seem to have been v much Hush purchasing recently. I haven't bought anything since the week after the Autumn release. Nothing really grabbing me other than jumpers which are just too much money!!! However I am thinking about trying the Harems. Tried the regular ones last year but they were too short, but as they now do a longer length and the fact that I have started to go to Pilates( so have a justification for buying them ) I thought I would give them another go.
What is the sizing like? I am an 8/10 and not sure whether to try xs or s.

Ellapaella · 21/10/2018 15:58

@redtulip12 I'm a 10 and have the X/S in long harems.

Ellapaella · 21/10/2018 15:59

@Laska5772 no need to explain yourself.. sounds like you had a crappy week.
Love that coat - go for it.

SoyYo · 21/10/2018 16:02

laska many Flowers again to you, don’t beat yourself up about last Fri it’s totally understandable and you really have had the week from hell 😢 and a diet slip will not make any difference tbh I think you deserved a whole bottle of wine, never mind a couple of Wine

On the Boden fur coat I ordered a 14 reading the reviews everyone just about said its TTS and from the things I ordered from Boden this season (and returned the whole lot btw) I reckon that’s right for us well endowed ladies
