Hello all - I seem to have fallen off the thread
. I need to stay on top of all the chat more, and thanks for noticing I've been missing...but I've been trying to spend less time online generally and more time doing work but today is a bit of a write-off, frankly. I'm feeling pretty grim and have a horrible cough, and I think the start of a cold. Plus really dizzy when I stand up. Grrrr. I'm spending most of the time drinking tea and watching the numbers on the Article 50 petition going up, while my tender sits unloved at the back of my desktop....
I'm loving the pictures - cherries -you look amazing in the blue hortensia - it really suits you! And I'm so glad you're feeling so upbeat at the moment, even though you are still recovering. I actually like the jumpers on you, though it's difficult to tell how they look in real life. The rose looks less big than the star - so if you were only going to keep one "baggy" one, I'd go for the rose (plus, I have that, and its a brill jumper, and I think looks good oversized...).
Other notable photos from the past week or so
are the star leggings from soy, which look fab (I also love the colour of the jumper but agree on the flying-squirrel thing...its odd, as I'd assumed it would be basically the same shape as the paloma which is gorgeous...but it does seem more "pouchy"...) and ella's trousers and sandal combo. And also never - I looooove the leopard dress. I like the jumpsuit too, but i know you have probably sent that back by now...I liked it styled with the red shoes.
nelly - on the jumper sizing...yes, they are crazy-big! If you're a 14, I'd probably go for a M, or possibly even an S (for the beatrice particularly, I think). I'm a 12/14 and usually get an S, though my 14-ness is around my bum, so it depends on the style of the jumper. There is a code for 10% off (is it SPR2019?) so even if they don't honour the exchange at the discount you may be able to get the discount with that.
I got another code which is 10% off with free next day delivery which is FNDS19 - but you need to log into your account to get it, so not sure if it will only work for friends of hush? may be worth a go, though.
makemine - I'd second the trainers - they are loooovely! I'm a Clarks 5.5 and i got a 6 in these cos i can't stand having my toes squished, and they are lovely and roomy. Not worn them yet though, as its still too cold here for canvas shoes! I also have the green linen jumper, which i do like. The colour is amazing... I think I got an M in that as some of the reviews said it was a bit short so you needed to size up to get the "slouchy" look. It's not the softest linen, but it is a nice shape in my opinion. I asked the same question about rayon a few weeks ago! I've not come across it before either, but the general consensus is that its really good for summer as it dries basically instantly, and is nice and floaty. i got the alvers dress in it and though that hasn't been christened yet, I'd agree with cherries above.
never -I have the helena shirt too, and I'd agree with laska - it is big... I reckon a 10 would be perfect for you, particularly if you are shrinking (well done! I'm not...I do seem to have lost a half stone, but not sure where its gone from as my tummy is wobbly as ever... pah).
soy - I'm with others in wishing you well (belatedly) for your interview! And ella - hope you're recovering.
My DH bought me some fab jeans from a charity shop at the weekend (as I'm not buying anything...but he could see i was drooling over them...) They are like these but black rather than blue and are great. They are really like the hush star ones, but with embroidered stars rather than printed. And a fraction of the cost..even new. Just thought I'd share.
