Here are the Hushistas - counting down for a Very Meryl-y festive season

[Laska3Meryl]

Continuing the Hush (and other nice stuff) love...

Amazing thanks Ella! I'm a 10/12 with big hips/bum do you think medium would be ok? Is there some give?

its 15% I think ella has typo'd (or i've missed out!)

Ordered the medium. Hope they fit ok. What a bargain! Thanks Ella

Does anyone know if Hush do a Black Friday sale?

@Huffthepuff yes I think medium will be fine for you.

Ooh yes it's 15% - it's my stupid phone autocorrecting as I will have previously put a 25 somewhere. Sorry folks.

What were you reading that made you wobble always?

@Laska cause you asked:

An article in the guardian that basically said that the only people that look good in leather leggings are the young and slim and that older folk are seduced by the models in a bid to look like them. However the only ones that can afford it are basically the older ones that have less than perfect bodies that think the leather leggings are going to make them look like the models!

Ella thanks ordered the leggings & the blush top.

Aww Always someone just spouting spiteful piffle, you really rocked those trousers.💐

Laska meant to say those boots you posted a pic of earlier are fab.
Just catching up with thread, went to a party on Saturday & had a rhubarb gin induced hangover yesterday 🤢

Oh really? Jess Carter Morely? .. Those articles are a few years old now..Ageist Tosh.. and so what? Sod 'em! you look great in them and so will cherries

Sorry I’ve gone AWOL
Haven’t caught up with the thread fully yet but just for always
You MUST keep the leather leggings!
I’m sooo and I’ll be ordering them as soon as I get an enabling % discount code. They look fabulous on you!
KEEP KEEP!

Len Arent they ? Its my birthday soon and I have my fingers crossed ..... ,

always FFS look at Chrissie (rock goddess) I love she’s let herself go gray and wrinkly and she’d totally agree with me!

Just popping in from London. always, there will always be some mysoginist dick (male or female) that want to keep older women in their place. I thought you looked great in them.

@Alwaysasparklymoment99 here is a Guardian article speaking quite favourably of leather leggings Linky
Honestly please don't worry about that ageist bollocks about leather leggings - it all depends on how you wear them not how old or young you are. You have a fabulous figure and look great in yours and you've styled them perfectly in your photos.
In my personal opinion the most stylish people I know are 'older' (not that over 25 is 'old' as the media would have us believe)- women in their 40's + who have developed a well perfected sense of style and learnt what suits them and how to dress to flatter their figures.

@Huffthepuff I had to google FOMO 😳
My teenage son would be rolling his eyes at me in disdain!

😂 ha! It's the bane of my life Ella. I saw you all talking about leggings yesterday and tried to be strong and not get involved or reread to find the link but this evening it got too much and I had to join in! I was almost hyperventilating by the time I opened the link and realised they were actually affordable

I liked that Guardian article too. The idea of layering with a thin fabric then chunky knit over the top. Might try them with a white long line top then H&M Meryl dupe over the top. Or the gorgeous poncho from Pure that I'm now too scared to wear as it will get covered in baby ming within 30 seconds. I certainly do not have the thighs to wear them with anything shorter

What boots/shoes will you all wear with the various leather/faux leather trousers? I'd assume biker boots as we all seem to share a love of those but I worry I'll look like I'm trying to channel lisbeth salander. Is it ok though as she wouldn't wear them with chunky knitwear?

I was just wondering the same thing huff I have some nice black loafers from R&B but don’t have any black boots😫

Oh yes loafers could look great actually. But cold ankles soon I fear. I'm already at the stage where I live in my black Uggs. Like wearing slippers 🤤
Do you have any other boots or do you NEED some black ones? Enabling opportunity

huff no black boots, so I’m thinking I really need some now, haven’t had much luck sent loads back & gifted my dd a pair, looking for some that aren’t to clumpy with laces or adjustable buckles, as I have very twiggy legs & so far everything I have tried makes me look like a golfclub, also have small feet (2.5) so currently perusing kids ones.

@Huffthepuff I think trainers or loafers.
I have worn with heels for a night out but only with a more casual long line jersey top.
Chunky knits are the way forward. Also the Hush wife jersey too will look fab.

And biker boots would work I think.
