Hushistas spring/summer Vol 2! Planning for the sunshine this way..

[Ellapaella]

Hi everyone new thread

Gin - love those trousers! Am going to pop into my local store and see if they have them in.
Ella - Topshop terrifies me but those trousers look lovely.

I have the Beatrice, Gin, (two in fact ), have been living in them since my surgery over a vest top. They are soft, comfy and quite drapey. I’m wearing an S so I would imagine an XS for you. (I could probably get away with an Xs, but the arms felt just a bit tight). They have washed fine, but I have been quite careful as they don’t feel terrribly robust - inside out in a mesh bag/woolite/hand wash cycle/dry flat.

Ok so will post about these two purchases in more detail later with pics but the animal print dress [ whistles style ] gorgeous. Am wearing today!!! Size 12 fits me fine. Its a little snug on the hips for me but if you have narrow hips you may want to size down. Saying that, its a strange fit across the bust. Kind of generous but neat. I cant explain it. I guess this one depends upon your body size. Length, perfect. Just a few inches above the knee.
Jumpsuit is gorgeous. I love it but don't think I will keep because:
How on earth will I get out of it to go to the toilet?
and its still cold here and fear its still too summer to wear atm. So will languish in my wardrobe probably for about a month. So I could buy again later on.

that should have said shape rather than size.

If you suit whistles dress, you will be good with this. Off out for breakfast with my mum and later to the school for a numeracy festival at my childrens school.

Thanks @ilovecherries
Have a good day, hope the toothache has settled down. Clove oil is supposed to be good if you want to try something as an alternative/addition to the pain meds

I would love a photo of the Jayne dress never that was on my list as well, but as I have just lent my DS my last £60 budgeted spending money for this month I know, I am a mug,but hes messed up and now has no food money So I have no choice but to keep to my pledge!

The good thing is that my credit card bill is only 11.98 (preen, and wow that feels really good) for two books bought from Amazon. Books are allowed..

The £2 pig is nearly full though , . Rule is all £2s must go in the pig in this house and it is strictly for treats only. Once it is so stuffed you cannot possibly et another one in we share it 50/50 .

I could put it in the BJ fund his time , but it could also pay for the outline star T when it comes out and maybe the Jayne dress (if its nice) or something for my holiday.

At home today (gotta love partial retirement!) ..I am making curry goat!!

I am feeling similarly virtuous as my cc is showing £47 in credit after a refund came in after I’d paid the bill. Plus I’ve been building my paypal up again from ebay, and that is def free money in my mind! Nothing I particularly want at the moment though, although most of my tee shirts will need replaced. The v necks on some of my hush tees are now showing my belly button almost. I think most of my summer dresses will still be ok, as they were all quite neat on the chest last year. I did buy a lightweight cotton trench coat in H&M yesterday for £24. I’ve been hankering after a nice trench and was all set to buy something decent, then decided I’d be better having a practice one in case I didn’t like it (trench coats not possible at my previous

I will also at some point need a new bra wardrobe, but not for at least another three months. Having said that, the postsurgical compression bras are the comfiest things I have ever owned, and I may never part with them. 50 years of the tyranny of underwires is over.

I’m intrigued by the idea of a BJ fund though. 😂🤣

And my trench coat was a small!

Not the best photos and honestly, i do clean my mirror honestly

Another of the print

never that dress looks gorgeous on you and you have (if you don’t mind me saying) incredibly elegant ankles!!

You really suit that, never

Thanks for the lovely feedback. Tbh, the photos arent the best. I am wearing it right now and thought it looked fine but was a bit worried someone might say its not that great!!!

I used to love Jigsaw until the time I went in looking for a jacket to wear for my DDs wedding and the snooty assistant said they "hadn't got a jacket in my size but had I thought of a cardigan". It wasn't done nicely.

never you look fabulous! I love that dress.

It’s a LOT more than ‘fine’, never. You look great in it.

never love it, it looks seriously lovely and now I have to order it (although I'll have to wait for pay day now).

I need to know what a BJ fund is 😱

Cherries I bought a lovely black trench coat in H&M in 2005, I still have it, it's still going strong and in good condition.

oh its lovely Never But we need more £2Pig money before it can be emptied Laska sits on hands

Is it too early to sell my Marissa dress on ebay do you think? actually I do have some Hush navy winona trousers and some other things I should put up, (I had kind of given up with ebay as too much faff, but maybe i should try again )

The BJ fund is there to stop me buying lots of unneeded clothes Cherries and so I can keep to straight and narrow of weight loss by imagining myself without the shelf next summer (smile)..

Ella its my Boob Job fund . It never occurred to me that BJ could mean something else (but now it just has.. ...am slow on the uptake) .. I'll have to rename it now!!

Maybe folk should post their "Hush for Sale" here before ebay. I bet there'd be some takers.

We need to give it another name @Laska2Meryls or I will be sniggering every time you mention it (dirty mind)

Boden have sent me a £10 off voucher and it's 20% off everything today so I'm off for a browse to see if I fancy anything.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments about the Jayne dress :)

As for the BJ fund... well was going to say but felt it looked like I was being a bit rude.

As for the jumpsuit, decided its going back. I love it from the front, ok from the back but Im not sure about it from the side. Its not the most flattering. Its the drawstring on it. The waist is a little high for me. Also shoes. Apart from heels/sandals, it looks a bit 'dumpy' with flats on me. So that is that.

Jumpsuit. My feet arent that veiny!!
