I have dozens of these hangers, laska, they are brilliant. I bought a set initially for the camper, and was completely sold. I gradually replaced all my crappy hangers over the course of a year, just buying a set every time I passed a Lakeland.

I haven’t t decided about the Keiras. I love the style but I usually avoid that shade of green. In another colour I wouldn’t have hesitated. On the other hand, I probably have enough navy trousers! I will try them later with different options and take some pics. How are you wearing yours?

laska My norks are still very misshapen and lop sided, but there is still a LOT of bruising and swelling to resolve so I am hoping they will still improve. I’m still in a compression bra. 10 weeks yesterday, and surgeon says he is very happy at this stage - I don’t look as good as all the after pictures others are posting in the UK breast reduction FB group though, but then most seem to be well under 30, and many under 25. I made the mistake of posting a photo there, and it was all ‘omg, hun, demand a revision’, but I don’t feel like that at all. Partly because this was risky surgery for me for unrelated reasons, and I accepted from the beginning that it was a one-shot, but also I’m NOT 25. I’ve got more than the minimum benefits I hoped for already, I look great with clothes on, and I look ‘fine’ without them - and DD and DH both say I’m hypercritical. I’m still very glad I had it done, and I’m happy with the outcome even if cosmetically this is as good as it gets - and the surgeon says I can expect changes in size, shape and position for at least another 9 months. I’m grateful that my surgeon was able to find an anaesthetist who felt he could minimise the risks, and I’ve really had a remarkable recovery with regards to wounds etc. I still tire easily, which I hadn’t expected, but I haven’t slept well for the last three weeks because of worrying about DD’s health, so it may not even be down to the surgery. I feel better every day though. It really has been life changing, and I was always pragmatic about cosmetic outcome given my age and the size of reduction I needed.

cherries love love the pic of outfit definitely keep.
The most important thing is that you are happy with the outcome & that surgery was successful, you are recovering well & that the actual procedure wasn’t as traumatic as it possibly could have been, so I reckon a definite win & the health benefits to you is another major factor, hope that dd is feeling a little better.

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 09:36

I think there is a great improvement in the photos Ive seen, Cherries .. Especially in your face!! (you look so happy!).. just pmd you btw

My new bras are more comfy , but I'm still thinking it would be so great to do it myself.. Still losing the regained weight though.. ! ( pah!) .

Keiras , I like them with the striped T and I think I will be wearing them more with Ts than shirts although short jumpers like the Hush cashmere boat neck looked good i thought ( i liked it with the pink one , love Khaki and pink) ..

I do think it needs bare legs and either sandals or trainers though One of the reasons I have bought the Clarks ones above .. (Ecco have some a bit nicer but more than twice the price i paid with the 20% !

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 09:39

yes Lakeland hangers are fab ( and i have a .. I have seen the velvet ones soy but somehow (if you can like a coat hanger or not!) I dont 'like' them .. ( yup, I am totally, totally weird) ..
I have a £10 off £50 voucher so I am going to get more next month !!

neveradullmoment99 · 26/04/2019 09:51

I have had the velvet ones [ from the home bargains or a shop like that] and they had no strength in them. Fine for something light but no good for a jacket. They tended to bend ridiculously. Are the ones from Amazon better @soyo?

neveradullmoment99 · 26/04/2019 09:53

Also, can you create a link to the lakeland ones? Thanks. Not sure if they are the plastic ones you mean or the velvet ones.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/04/2019 09:53

Oh and keep the Moritz. They look good on you :)

SoyYo · 26/04/2019 09:57

Yes the velvet ones are more for everyday clothes if you wanted one hanger per garment. They’re slim and non slip which I like...and cheap! For jackets I prefer proper wooden hangers.

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 09:58

Hushistas talk Hangers!! Lakeland hangers
Never

Whilst we are on Lakeland .(love that shop) , can I also suggest these for those trying to reduce cling film use?,They are re-useable)

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 10:01

But not for wearing on your head!! seriously , really good,

Ok.. and now back to clothes..

C'mon Hush I want a code!! (stamps feet!)

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 10:03

Clarks 20% code is TREAT20

twosoups1972 · 26/04/2019 10:08

I like the velvet hangers like the Amazon one soy linked to. But make sure they have the cascading hooks, not all of them have them. They make so much more space in your wardrobe.

SoyYo · 26/04/2019 10:10

Sorry keeping up sporadically with chat as I’m in a TC (continuation of yesterday’s marathon) which I kicked off with my training at 8am. Luckily I’ve now handed over rest of methodology training to some colleagues so I’m on mute/non video sharing mode but still need to make the odd supporting comment so multitasking with you lot Grin

@never I’ve got the cheapie velvet ones but they’re not Amazon. I read a recommendation on Sunday Times style section for the Amazon ones saying they’re best for a cheap non slip solution when reorganising your wardrobe so I will try when I need more.

SoyYo · 26/04/2019 10:12

But for coats/jackets same article recommended wooden hangers which I do already...

twosoups1972 · 26/04/2019 10:23

Lovely Hush friends I need some opinions. We are buying a posh small sofa/chaise longue type thing. Just choosing the fabric and can’t decide. Here are the main contenders:

Gotta be the red on the middle right !! Every Husista deserves a red chaise longue.. Smile

ilovecherries · 26/04/2019 10:38

Oh, we need len for this! My personal choice would probably be top or bottom, but what are the fabrics, as that might influence me. I’m more into feel than look sometimes.

Hello lovely hushitas!

I’ve seen lots of stuff I like in the new summer drop, but before I order, I have read on here that you think a discount code might be released soon. Generally, how long after a drop are codes released?? Thanks in advance! Flowers

twosoups1972 · 26/04/2019 11:05

laska it is pink! They're all varying shades of pink. If you look at my second post, that one is the second photo. It's a herringbone pattern pink and brown.

cherries not sure what fabrics they are, will check, but you are so right about the feel. We have already discounted velvet or velvet-feel as dd2 can't stand the feel of it!

Laska2Meryls · 26/04/2019 11:13

Pink is good! still like the same one, Smile

twosoups1972 · 26/04/2019 12:08

Thank you laska that one is dh's favourite too!

twosoups1972 · 26/04/2019 12:08

Arrghh after saying many times I DO NOT NEED any more boots, have just seen these:

I buy the black velvet hangers from IKEA and they take up loads less room than the wooden hangers I had before. They are strong but I agree that jackets hang better on the wooden ones.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/04/2019 12:49

Right. Order arrived sans jumpsuit. Just a score through it. No explanation. Im taking that means its not in stock atm. No idea if i have been charged. So a mixed bag. Check dress gorgeous. Its too small in bust for me but its a 10. I will reorder in a 12 when there is a code. Love the shirt. Its like a voile but slightly thicker. Its quite generous but i kind of like it that way. The sweat is lovely but the sizes are teeny! I ordered the small and medium and i would have to take the medium. Anyway, some pics:
