I posted a pic of the fairisle jumper on the last thread if anyone is interested although it is OOS now.

This is the Sainsbury’s one - much softer than the H&M one I tried. The 12 just comes down to (but not below) the crotch of my jeans.

Hello! It's me, charcoal wide jersey top snatcher 
Sorry @Alwaysasparklymoment99 Blush
Love the fair isle knot, looks super cosy.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 11:41

Its lovely and it sounds as if it is nice and long, the only thing is its grey and I already have a number of grey jumpers. Its an excellent price and it looks so cosey though. Its a pity it isn't in other colours. I would have loved that in black. It doesn't itch your neck?

Love the fair isle @Alwaysasparklymoment99 ! Would look great with the leather trousers too👌

dontcallmelen · 23/11/2018 11:43

Just marking my place, thanks for new thread Always just trying to finalise my lists & order some stuff for my dcs, I have a dreadful cold so feeling very sorry for myself at the moment.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 11:43

Its beautiful but not sure its worth the price tbh.

OP posts:
Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 11:44

@Huff - oh yes, It would look good with my leather trousers. Very scandi chic!!

Yy Sainsbury’s jumper is a very good price, they did have a nice fairaisle jumper in next, if anyone after a reasonable dupe, must admit though the pic that Always posted of the hush one looks fab.

NotAnActualSheep · 23/11/2018 11:57

Ooooh - sparkly new thread from alwaysasparklymoment - thanks! The twiggy jumper looks amazing on you. Are you going to keep it? Is it as lovely on as it looks on the website? I've been doing some Christmas present ordering while supposedly working and a L twiggy may have slipped into my basket too (not yet checked out). Is that going to be ridiculously huge?

I've got that jumper too cherries - it was a stopgap before I caved and brought the meryl itself and i agree it is really nice. I had to get a 16 as that was the smallest they had, but it in nice and loose fitting and actually really soft and warm. I've not been too impressed with sainsbury's jumpers in the past, but they seem to have upped their game this year.

Grin at ginandwidetopsnatcher!

Sorry to hear you're all cold-y len. Hope you're all prepped with lemsip/ brandy etc...

dontcallmelen · 23/11/2018 12:09

Thanks Not I’m ashamed to say, I get really pathetic when I have a cold can deal with most things but a cold really knocks the stuffing out of me.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 12:10

I got the small and its a perfect fit on me. I am a 12. What size are you @not? If I had sized up to a medium, I think it would have been loose but not awful.

OP posts:
Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 12:11

Any more than one size up and it would be too big.

OP posts:
Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 23/11/2018 12:12

Its lovely. I am going to think about it. Its not the jumper. Its the money atm although I have done most of my Christmas shopping.

Checking in.
Love the jumper @Alwaysasparklymoment99 .
Haven't bought anything yet as so far this morning I've spent £200 already on Christmas presents for the Dc!
Am actually at work too.. (did some sneaky online shopping at the crack of dawn)
Have decided against ziggy jumper as reviews say it's itchy and shrinks in the wash.

SoyYo · 23/11/2018 12:29

Buenas Tardes!
Thank you always for the new thread, the twiggy jumper is really beautiful 😍
Good to read laska in the last thread
talisin the Next teal puffa looks amazing! Thanks for the link if the Hush is not 100% right I’d consider it next.
cherries what a find! I’m after a cozy jumper so if the big love one I’m expecting Monday is not absolutely perfect I think I’ll go down the bargainous route
gin and huff on top form! Wait to hear what you think of your shiny new purchases (I really love the coated jeans btw...did I say that before? Wink)

Huffthepuff · 23/11/2018 12:35

Thanks @SoyYo 😂 I hope I can get them on. Did you buy the 12? How did you find the fit?
I also caved in to the Other Stories Black Friday deal of 20% off... ordered the black wool coat I was lusting after about 3 threads ago... now I must stop!

SoyYo · 23/11/2018 12:35

not wait on your feedback on the Paloma.
I found a site that does a really good peekaboo dupe which I may try
uk.intimissimi.com/product/modal-vest-top-with-lace-inserts/170717.uts?parentCategoryId=4803&categoryId=5329&subCategoryId=5330
Also other good looking silk/lace vests
ella remarkable self restraint 😇 I’m impressed!
melen take it easy today darling 🤧

SoyYo · 23/11/2018 12:38

No I don’t own the coated jeans 😭😭😭 huff mainly because I already own two pairs of past Boden season black skinny coated jeans and was hoping to try the Hush version if reduced (no chance now)
Hope the coat is fabulous!
I must stop too I still have Xmas presents to buy! 😱

CountFosco · 23/11/2018 13:02

25% off Hush for Black Friday! But I'm not looking because I've just ordered two petite coats from Boden (30% off and one will go back) after a disasterous Uniqlo order where their (lovely) coats were just FAR TOO LONG and I've bought these beauties with the Black Friday discount code (RogueBlackFriday - 30 % off). Julia Roberts has a pair doncha know. DH will be horrified but this autumn all I've bought so far is a jumper, cords, and dress so not too excessive really.

SoyYo I saw a nice silk slip on that website but they have bad reviews on Trustpilot so didn't purchase (issues with returns mainly).

NotAnActualSheep · 23/11/2018 13:38

Thanks always - I think a L will be too big for me then ( I'm generally a 12 up top, and would usually get a hush S or M in preference for tops). Though it doesn't sound as ridiculously oversized as the Meryl. May give it a miss then. My credit card will be pleased. And I DON'T NEED ANY MORE JUMPERS.

That's a really good dupe soy, and like that there are more colours. Though not impressed with places with poor returns, especially where it's an entirely internet- based enterprise with no actual shops to return stuff too. brand alley, I'm looking at you

SoyYo · 23/11/2018 14:17

Good to know Count but they do also have shops (only in London) so not as invisible as say BrandAlley...Hmm
I’ve never ordered from them but will probably give them a try as they do seem to have a very straightforward returns policy and courier pick up (but they don’t state it’s FOC so probably expensive)
Lovely and unusual brogues btw! Smile

twosoups1972 · 23/11/2018 14:46

Checking in!

Think the Sainsbury's website is playing up at the moment, wanted to have a look at that jumper!

Nearlyadoctor · 23/11/2018 15:03

Love the Fairisle jumper @Always - may stalk Hush’s for a return.

Ilovecherries having read about your move at least one thing is definite I’m not pregnant, so whenever we get moved that will be a bonus Grin
