Hush ‘n’ Other Stuff

[ilovecherries]

New thread.

Ha ha yes I avoid washing all of my Hush stuff as much as possible!
I just turn mine inside out and wash at 30 degrees, seems ok. Wonder if it's anything to do with soft versus hard water?

What kind of water do you have Ella? Ours is soft both here and at home. The sleeves are the worst.

We are hard here in Newcastle I think. It's so annoying when things bobble so quickly, have you tried a really fine razor to debobble?

The Sosander snow leopard coat has arrived, fits like a it was tailor made for me and it’s smart, much more formal than the Boden leopard fur coat, I think the slim cut is actually more flattering on me too...yet I’m not feeling the excitement that I felt when I first tried the fur one on.
This is (I think) purely down to the fact the fur one is cozy and definitely warmer.
Question: should one sacrifice looks for comfort?

ella like the Office boots! 😍

Buy 2 soy? .. Sosander for workwear . perhaps ? naughty enabling

Well, I think they are very different, to be worn at different times. It’s not as if it would be a duplicate purchase...

LOL laska & cherries I should have anticipated those answers
Seriously I don’t know if I’d get enough wear out the Sosander, gorgeous as it is as I do have a couple of lovely tailored coats already...
Arghh I’m usually quite a decisive person but only one can stay chez soy

Snow leopard vs Fur leopard

And Fur one done up, it’s only got one clip on button vs several snow leopard buttons...I look a bit heftier but also feel cozier...

Keep the boden one. I like the fabric better and its cozy. Your heart isnt in the sosander one. You will regret returning the boden one.

The snow has the edge for me simply as I love the colour and a bit that they didn’t have it last year. But if you already have tailored coats I’d go for the cuddly one you love. Xxx

Oh god sorry. Am also simultaneously texting dd about a dress she is considering. kisses were obv for her .

Yes never with a little regret but my ❤️ is with the fur cozy one and I wasn’t after a work coat in any case, but a cozy everyday/weekend winter one.
Also although I’ve never had my colours done the snow leopard is a bit severe for my olive skin, can’t explain as I have to be careful of camel shades too but the fur one does flatter my colouring more (I think I’m an autumn)...

Furry Soy much nicer , (and here's some Xxx just for you !). Mines gone back , ah well,)

cherries I don’t mind xx in your message. Yes the Sosander is truly truly beautiful which is why I’m hesitating. Beautiful cut and fit.
Typical I return soo much usually I should be positively thrilled I’ve found 2 coats I love but I am not sure I can justify the spend for the wear the Sosander would get, the monochrome is beautiful but can’t be mixed and matched with many different colours. Plus my colouring...
I’ll show DH tonight but I think I’ve made up my mind?

Laska 😘 right back!
You’ve got the velvet puffa to look forward to still!
Is DM recovering as well as can be expected?

I still haven seen her , a going over tomorrow, Db said she was sitting up today , but is a bit confused .... I hope its just being shaken up that has don that and nothing more .

No wonder at her age laska bless her. Keeping fingers crossed for a speedy return home and recovery. She’ll recover faster once she’s in her own environment.

Mmm it’s just occurred to me the Sosander could give me an air of Cruella de Ville? 🤣🤣
Think about it 🤔

Keep the Boden one. I like it better. I do like the sosander one but I think its is more formal looking. I think your heart is with the boden one.
@Ella. Love those boots.

I like the Boden one best @SoyYo - it's so glamorous 😍

@neveradullmoment99 I just hope they fit - it's always a complete gamble buying shoes with my wide feet.

Thanks girls I did hesitate for a little while but no longer. DS1 (26 year old) asked “what’s with the animal coats mum?”
So I explained my conundrum and showed him both on and he also prefers the Boden version.

Fingers crossed for the boots ella! It’s such a gamble with wide feet...

I'm just posting to keep the thread on my list ... we've all gone a bit quiet..
..

What do you all think of this? It's nicer IRL - navy velvet, and puffa style. Different neck from the hush one, and not black (which is good for me).

I like it @cherries :) It is a bit quiet Laska. When does your jacket come through? Is it on back order? Did you get your fly boots?
