Im not looking for a long one @soyo but the Gudrun one in blue is SO beautiful. I am not using it on a beach but just to throw on artistically over a tee and jeans!!

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 12:26

Oh dear, i just don't know which one to get. There are so many gorgeous ones!!

Huffthepuff · 04/05/2019 12:28

Oh @ilovecherries what have you done? 😳
They are gorgeous
Can't decide between the reddish tone one or the green

DH is hurrying me to go brave a beach walk in the windy but sunny day
@never I think the sale one you linked to is a-ma-zing and later with more time will browse longer.
Absolute bargain and less likely to see others wearing it,
Get it!

Laska2Meryls · 04/05/2019 12:36

I dont want to fall off the thread! .. so just popping in ! will catch up and write later! Am still awaiting jacket avalanche but will let you know what I think .. Have a lovely saturday, people ..Smile

Ellapaella · 04/05/2019 12:36

I love the kimonos...what will you wear them with?

Huffthepuff · 04/05/2019 12:38

Did @Laska2Meryls share this site before? It seems familiar.

Good point @Ellapaella I'm worried it will look a bit like a dressing gown. But I like the longer length over the shorter ones. Skinny jeans in the winter and denim shorts in the summer? Leggings and uggs at home?

Huffthepuff · 04/05/2019 12:46

Well that wasn't meant to happen... just ordered a short kimono, a long kimono and a bolero jacket. On the plus side I got 10% off and free delivery. Still cheaper than Hush

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 12:47

I have bought the shorter ones. Plan to wear it over a tee and skinny jeans, shorts and a tee, wide leg trousers a neat tee and kimono. Over a strappy vest and shorts/jeans/crops etc. No plan to wear on a beach. If I wanted a cover up, definitely the longer ones.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 12:58

Tempted by the short china plates one!

ilovecherries · 04/05/2019 13:14

I have a pale blue one with pink birds, and a cream one with big blue flowers. I’m not sure if they still have them - I haven’t worn them for a couple of years because they were part of my fat wardrobe. Bought after I came out of 20 years in the mountain warehouse men’s section - thanks to another long running and supportive thread on here about being older and fat, and still being kind to yourself - but before I started to lose weight. Before I even tackled the weight I spent about 18 months during which I focussed on finding a few nice pieces of clothing that actually fit me and I felt good in. I lived in the kimonos in the summer of 2016, with linen trousers and vest tops. By the following year I was just starting to lose weight and I started to remove everything associated with before. I might have kept these though as they were so beautiful, I will have a look under the bed later, and probably enough time has passed that I might enjoy them again.

In case it hasn't been mentioned, there are some summery Hush items on brandalley. Nothing that makes me want to buy right now but there might be some pieces from last year that some of you want to stock up on.

miffy2 · 04/05/2019 13:27

Doh! I read back and saw it was mentioned already (BA). Happy shopping!

ilovecherries · 04/05/2019 13:30

Haha, DD admits the short ones are in her wardrobe. Neither appear to be on the site now, although the pink parrot one is very similar. I also have a long one somewhere, that looks very similar to the hollyhocks one currently in the sale.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 13:31

Well @cherries, i can understand the association. I was a bit similar with tunics and leggings when i just had my kids and was bigger. I just find it hard to enjoy wearing that combo. I do love leggings but i dont tend to wear them in the same way i did before. I give them more of a sporty look. The kimonos you linked to were exactly what i was after and could never find. Something with a beautiful print. I am so excited to get it!!! You should look them out as they are stunning pieces that anyone can wear, short slim, thin, tall, fat etc. If you find them could you try them on and post a link? I would love to see them in rl.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 13:32

..and actually, i am sure they will look stunning on you.

Ellapaella · 04/05/2019 13:32

I actually have this one sitting in my wardrobe from 2 summers ago - never really known what to wear it with though (and it's always quite chilly up here so rarely get the chance).

@Huffthepuff I think there was a thread on style and beauty a few weeks ago about kimonos and someone mentioned a hundred stars on there.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 13:34

@Ella, it looks great the way you are wearing it!!

Ellapaella · 04/05/2019 13:34

Love that @neveradullmoment99

dontcallmelen · 04/05/2019 13:35

Ella I have one nearly exactly the same, bought it ages ago it was from new look I think.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/05/2019 13:36

They are all beautiful @ella. Look at this one:

Ellapaella · 04/05/2019 13:36

I just shoved it on over what I'm wearing to take a quick pic but actually I do like it like this. Glad I already have one as I was getting FOMO Grin
