Ella yes super comfy, they have a really cushioned insole & the furry lining goes all the way down the into the boot.

ilovecherries · 08/01/2019 18:40

They are lovely boots, Len.

I have a first world dilemma. Even if a pair of burgundy leggings appeared in a 10 now, I’m not sure I could trust they weren’t my damaged return - as presumably the previous person highlighted it when she sent them back - certainly no attempt to conceal, it was easily visible in the plastic bag. I’d be so cross if I paid AGAIN for ripped ones!

And isn’t it odd that they have black leggings in at sale price (which I bought) and apparently identical ones at full price.

I really, really tried to buy something in the Hush sale, but the things I liked either weren't available in my size or had poor online reviews. I promise I tried, Hushistas, but sad to report, I failed.

GinandGingerBeer · 08/01/2019 19:00

Oslo skirt arrived @Laska2Meryls, love it, it's even nicer irl isn't it?
Looks tiny but very stretchy. Only sale piece I'm keeping apart from the burgundy zebra scarf.

ilovecherries · 08/01/2019 19:02

Don’t worry, Fuzzy. There is always the spring collection :)

Laska2Meryls · 08/01/2019 19:07

Hmm yes that's worrying cherries.. Have you let hush know? What I would do is suggest to them that you put a bright sticker on the label and plastic packaging to point it out when you send it back .Then they should take them out of circulation . Where is the rip? if its the seam can it be mended ? ( if so perhaps they will discount them more for you ?

Mine are coming tomorrow. hoping they wont be damaged..

So Florence skirt .. Its nice , but is on the 'maybe' list.. I like it but if I keep the leather leggings ill be spending to much so it may well go back.. I also actually prefer it styled with the ruffle at the side the way Ella did.. I'm also wondering if it will get further reduced .. they seem to have it in all sizes still..

Other things are arriving tomorrow I think (spanx and H&M ) but ill only be keeping one pair of burgundy leggings (if any)....

Also I have also just ordered the red flower pyjamas of which I tried the trousers by themselves on last week as an M appeared this pm .. (thanks for the tip cherries )..

Laska2Meryls · 08/01/2019 19:09

Gin Yes its great isnt it , does it fit ok?

FuzzyCustard · 08/01/2019 19:11

On the good side, I treated myself to a long skirt from Poetry in the sale (usually far too expensive) and I love it. It actually suits me! Hurrah.!

Laska2Meryls · 08/01/2019 19:15

Still in Hush this evening , Amies and Hush grey super soft top ( which sold out super-quick, it was a real winner, hope they repeat it in another colour )

Amazingly I see the onesie seems to have sold a bit in the sale ..So Come on ! who will admit to it ?!..

dontcallmelen · 08/01/2019 19:19

Waves at Fuzzy glad you had a successful purchase, I really like a lot of poetry stuff & it’s been very annoying with some of the stuff being OOS at the start of the sale, I haven’t bought anything you are not alone.

ilovecherries · 08/01/2019 19:21

No, it’s a proper 3-corner tear, it’s not mendable. I sent it back with a big highlighter on the return label as faulty.

dontcallmelen · 08/01/2019 19:21

cherries that’s really poor & v v annoying.

dontcallmelen · 08/01/2019 19:24

I’m feeling loads better about my boots now, thanks everyone 😍

FuzzyCustard · 08/01/2019 19:25

Waves back at melen.
If I was rich I would dress almost entirely in Poetry stuff. I kid myself that I too, would look cool and chilled all the time. (Instead of constantly wrapped up in multiple fleeces, trying to keep warm!)

neveradullmoment99 · 08/01/2019 19:41

Hello :)
Well that is an utter disgrace sending those out to you @cherries. Well I had a major panic when I couldn't find my return receipt on the cashmere jumper dress and then it was squashed in a bit of my purse. So glad I found it. Still haven't been refunded this either. That and a few other things. I returned the leather skirt, bingley boots, cashmere jumper in brick and still have the Alfords but they may go back too.

neveradullmoment99 · 08/01/2019 19:43

I don't understand why they have the black leggings at two different prices? I wonder if anyone ever emails about them. Is it not the older ones that are dearer? Weird I agree cherries.

Laska2Meryls · 08/01/2019 19:59

fuzzy Stop It!! I do not need to look at Poetry Good job they dont have these in my size

dontcallmelen · 08/01/2019 20:18

Oooh they are a bit fab, good price to.

Laska2Meryls · 08/01/2019 20:30

never they have that leather skirt in a 10 and12 right now (cant remember what size you had)

ilovecherries · 08/01/2019 20:47

I take photos of the postal receipts before I leave the post office! Started this after I lost a boden receipt for a big return, and they never received it. I have to say that the way Boden dealt with it has meant I have a continuing soft spot for them. They didn’t give me a cash refund, but they gave me account credit for the whole amount within a day or so. I was really impressed

neveradullmoment99 · 08/01/2019 21:18

Not sure Hush would be so understanding. I was a bit panicked about it. Tbh though, all my returns have been fine but it would be sods law that it would get lost. The thing is, I knew I had put it in my purse and I searched and searched but it was trapped at the end of the zipped part - right under it. I felt relieved.
Not going to order the skirt just now @Laska, but thanks. Its just a bit £££. I think if I go smaller it may be quite tight at the waist and dig in and be short.

neveradullmoment99 · 08/01/2019 21:20

So far what ive kept is the star bag with the chain, the bailey grey jeans, black ivy and maybe the alford boots.

Ellapaella · 08/01/2019 21:25

Boden customer service really is the best. Have to say that Hush are a bit crap at answering emails but have always found them very helpful if you call them. Takes them ages to process a return in comparison to Boden though.

My outfit of the day was my horrible unflattering uniform and now FatFace PJ's and slipper socks, watching Manhunt and having a glass of wine.

Tomorrow I'll be walking the dog and then taking DS to soft play after nursery so won't be wearing anything glamorous - this is when I realise my practical life doesn't really keep up with my ever changing wardrobe! I don't get a chance to wear much of it.

Ellapaella · 08/01/2019 21:26

I love the bags @neveradullmoment99 - definitely putting one on my birthday list.
