A very Meryl-y Christmas to all.. Hush Christmas continued

[Ellapaella]

New thread starts here Hush-ita's

I have so many parcels coming today I've lost count 🙈

Staying in with toddler DS tonight. Planning on putting him to bed then reading my kindle in the bath. I actually can't wait 😂

@Never I've also been feeling a bit crap so started using MFP again. Trying to cut out crisps too - I'm a bit of an addict.

I hope you have lots of alcohol fuled fun tonight @Each!

So toast jumper came. Its beautiful but fear its too itchy. Think its going back.

Oh that's such a shame @never it's a lovely fit on you!

It’s a lovely jumper, never but I know what you mean. I tried it on in the Harrogate store a few weeks back when I was trying to size stuff to see what I might want to order come sale time. Just a few minutes in the changing room and it was irritating me.

My hush parcel (cashmere dress and jada tunic) has arrived, as has a new pair of Fly lace up ankle boots, and a Boden parcel with a straight leather skirt and a pair of jeans. Can’t get a minute of privacy to try them on yet though! My halo 😇 is looking a bit skew-wiff again.

Ive loved Boden this season. Such a good sale. Everyone is commenting on my necklace with the key and hearts on it

Never what a shame it’s really lovely.
Happy ooh lots of lovely parcels.
Cherries look forward to seeing pics.

never that's a shame, itchy is never good!
each I agree about Boden. Some of their prints are hideous, you have to shop carefully, but I've had some lovely jumpers from there this year.

I've just ordered some things from Mint Velvet in the sale:

Faux leather leggings that are popular on here (giving them another try, already returned them once!)
Suedette leggings in grey and black (look nice but dry clean only!)
Red suede handbag (after reading the red handbag thread)

Anyone else here a handbag addict? I can't stop buying them!

each I hope you're surviving, enjoy Nandos with your family today

I LOVE the jacket huff

cherries looking forward to hearing about your latest Hush purchases. I really love the dark green cashmere dress but they've sold out in XS and S and I suspect the M will come up too big.

Just had a whirlwind of packages arrive!! The low down:
Black/white stitch jumper from MV is a keeper. Lovely cropped box shape, very comfy. My arms are a bit longSleeves are a bit short but I can fold them over so they look fine & show off my lovely new watch which also arrived today 😊
I also bought the cashmere forest green jumper from Hush. Feels lovely on but miles too big. Needs to shrink by at least 3 sizes. That's going back.
Forest green satin back jumper from MV was just too shapeless (though I liked the colour). That's going back too since I bought it to wear at work.
From H&M I'm keeping some dark grey jeans which fit nice but unfortunately have a straight rather than skinny ankle so looks better with my Lacoste sneakers than boots but that's ok. Will wear them when it's a bit warmer. Also keeping some dark grey washed out treggings. They are a bit odd but so comfy and only £15 so I'm keeping them.
My hotel chocolat velvetiser also just arrived but I expect that baby deserves its own thread 😂

Quickly tried on cashmere dress and rarely have I looked such shit in anything . Shame as it’s gorgeous (albeit certainly not a dress!) but I look like a slab of beef in it, regained about 3 stone when I put it on. Think it’s the boobs. Boden has also just cancelled my leather skirt so my halo is riding high again, with about £300 going straight back into PayPal. Will try the jada tunic later.

Love that Toast Jumper never shame if its itchy though.its so beautiful (i'd love one)

I still have no credit card.. but have had a message to say that my fraud case has been upheld and they have made a refund.. But until i get new card I cant get into the online account to see what exactly..

So my enforced is still intact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However like Ella i have far too many clothes and not such opportunity to wear them all now only working in the office 2dys week ( and one at home) ..

Shame about the cashmere dress , cherries

Happy NYE all, I am making fish pie.. (a bit of a NY institution Chez Laska..)

I love the jacket also huff

What size is the Toast jumper never ? ( feels halo sliding a little....I could buy on house account and pay it back..)

Mine is a small /medium @Laska. I am tempted to wear something under it!!! So will try it on again. Its not super itchy but I can feel it prickle a bit.
That's a shame about the hush cashmere jumper @cherries and @happy. I still have mine in the packet and will make a decision on it come Wednesday and return it. I think its the green. Its not really doing it form tbh but it is beautifully soft. I did try it on again and liked it apart from the colour. Its fine on me, its just not the love I feel for the colour and design for the toast one tbh. Anway, well done @Laska. Toast has really got great quality knitwear. Even although its prickly, the design and quality of the jumper is fabulous. I think it stands out.

Love the jumper @Never, shane it's itchy. Is it 100% wool?? That's makes me itch.

@twosoups I'll be sending my Hush green cashmere dress back on Monday (can't get to a returns shop before then) & it's a size small. So it should be showing as available soon.

It is 100% wool yes. If I wear something under it though its fine. Its cosy without being too thick too. It is rather beautiful.

Honest opinions though, if you were to make a decision between the cashmere roll neck and the toast jumper - which one is nicer do you think? The hush cashmere roll neck is more expensive - about £150. The Toast one is reduced to £115,

I think the toast one is a beautiful and unique piece. Toast clothes aren’t commonly seen. The cashmere - yes, it’s lovely. But it is another cashmere jumper. It really isn’t even a dress, it’s just a long jumper. If the itch isn’t an issue for you, then I would 100% have the toast one.

Side by side

Thanks @cherries. I was wearing it there with a long sleeved tee under it and it was fine. Anyone else?

I also agree. The cashmere jumper dress is just not doing it for me. I can see it looks nice it just doesn't look 'special' for the price. Then again, its gorgeous and soft and very wearable and a nice shape gggrrr!!!!

Vote here for the Toast jumper never - I love it.
