Hi Ella. To be completely honest, not overly keen on either and that's strange as I do love anthropologie . If I did choose, it would have to be the grey. I like the texture of it and love grey. I'm not a fan of puffed sleeves personally and the colour or pattern are just not anything special imo for the price.

Btw, I think its shocking that all the sizes are basically back of the twiggy jumper and the cashmere bf jumper. Seems very greedy for profit.

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:03

It’s not that I can’t use English grammar btw it’s just the silly iPhone autocorrect...disculpa!
Get both and then decide? feel free to ignore my enabling is there an Anthropologie store in Newcastle?

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 22:06

Oh and just noticed in the fairisle that it has gold buttons on the sleeve. Just thought id say as not sure if you saw that @Ella?

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:06

Oh yes I didn’t notice the puffy sleeves...still think it’s an unusual Fairisle and lovely but go with the popular grey vote @ella as it’s really beautiful.

Hush indeed seem to be getting very greedy with the miraculous appearance of the Twiggy Hmm

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:07

And Meryls...double Hmm

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:11

@never how was the colour of the jumper on you in daylight? (Still curious about the seasons theories..) and are you keeping or returning?

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:12

Sorry to be nosy just wondering but you don’t have to tell if you don’t want to Wink

Ellapaella · 27/11/2018 22:12

Well I don't think there is a store here.i hadn't noticed those gold buttons and yes it's put me off a bit tbh. There is a lovely fairisle knit in the White Company but it has angora in it which I cannot wear at all as its unbearably itchy.
I do like the Twiggy jumper - what's the sizing like never?

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 22:22

Its generous @ella. I would say you could perhaps get the xs. I have the small. I think tbh, the gold buttons or studs cheapen it iykwim. You don't see them in the other picture but you do in the last one.
I like the twiggy better than I do the two from anthro but tbh, everyone sees different things in clothes and it may suit you perfectly. I love the colours of the twiggy. Its a nice quality and not too thick or thin just a nice weight. The only thing that is off putting is that it does look a bit 'factory produced machine knit' at the bottom but the colours are just beautiful and pull it up above an ordinary fairisle. I just could not send it back.

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 22:24

Its a beautiful pearl grey with hints of fluro orange but not bright and garish.

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 22:26

@soyo - I leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark so still cant tell. I am off work on Thursday so will report back then!

SoyYo · 27/11/2018 22:32

Cheers @never

whiskyremorse · 27/11/2018 22:42

Laska, shirts not skirts for ironing lol but good to know that the marina doesn't need ironing. It's always helps!

UtahGirl12 · 27/11/2018 23:10

Oooh, loving the pics! Thank you. Yes, I think tucking under might be the answer. Looking forward to seeing SoyYo's pic tomorrow....love seeing ideas from other "normal" people as opposed to skinny supermodel types in the catalogue. Going to have to read back to cover all this thread now, as I now seem to have found my tribe, although I cannot afford much from Hush atm. I bought cropped black harems and black cotton cuffed trousers a year or two back, and a black Tara which my daughter has stolen direct from Hush. Other bit's like a C'est Cie Bon sweatshirt I picked up from Ebay. I would so love a Rock N Roll jumper! So glad they have a Hush concession in the Cardiff John Lewis now!

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 23:15

@soyo love love😍😍😍😍😍 everything on you. Jeans look great and both jumpers😀

neveradullmoment99 · 27/11/2018 23:16

Rock and roll gorgeous so definitely keep!

GinandGingerBeer · 27/11/2018 23:32

I like both jumpers @Ellapaella I like how the fairisle has the pattern on the sleeves, the fluted sleeves might be a pita though and draughty! The grey one looks very comfortable n cosy.

I've been off for 3 weeks now @SoyYo, and I'm aiming to get back next week, more tests done at the GPs again today, I really don't want diagnosing with anything else, I have enough meds inside me & technology attached to me on a daily basis to set off shop alarms everywhere I go as it is! Thank god for on line shopping eh?

ilovecherries · 28/11/2018 08:28

Morning Husheetas. Big hug to you, Laska.

Big meeting today, so have had to get out of work-at-home clothes. Wearing black Winona trousers, red wrap insect shirt with a heatgen underneath. New Look patent brogues and New Look red boyfriend coat.

ilovecherries · 28/11/2018 08:31

Oh, and meant to ask - has anyone got their friends’ postage back yet?

dontcallmelen · 28/11/2018 10:28

Cherries hope meeting goes well, outfit sounds really good I love this NL brogues.
Gin hope doctors goes well🤞🏻

SoyYo · 28/11/2018 11:30

Hi utah I’ve just taken a couple of photos as promised, so you see the kind of fine knit jumper I meant and also with a biker. Dress up with kitten heels instead of boots. Hope it helps.

cherries I haven’t checked the site but will let you know, you sound very elegant today.

never thank you!

Outfit looks so good on you Soy yy with the fine knit jumper that way you can wear a jacket as well.

dontcallmelen · 28/11/2018 12:35

Laska sending hugs as well, grief is a strange beast I sometimes felt as though I had been parachuted into a parallel universe, where you are continuing with daily life, yet you have experienced a seismic event & cant quite believe normal life continues, try & make sure you take some time out for yourself💐

GinandGingerBeer · 28/11/2018 13:36

Looks great @SoyYo Smile
Excuse the mess and the hair turban!
Zebra print joggers and burgundy raglan:
Both keepers, joggers def not worth the full price of £50 though!
But a nice comfy lounging but not quite pjs outfit which you'd be happy to pop to supermarket in. Others can pull off the leisure for pleasure look down the pub etc, I ain't one of them.

dontcallmelen · 28/11/2018 13:39

Ooh Gin lovely comfy looking casual outfit, 😀I’m the same can’t do the leisure look down the pub either, I look like I may have made an escape from somewhere.
