Calling Hushista's over here..., crabs, lobsters, kimonos and all things Summer

[Ellapaella]

Hello everyone.. new thread.. god knows what number we're on to now?

ninka that dress is stunning! Where is it from? I don't think you need to wear a cream/light dress. Are you going to wear a hat with it?

Thank you! It’s from Hobbs.

www.hobbs.co.uk/product/display?productID=0218-5644-9045L00&productvarid=0218-5644-9045L00-BLACK-MULTI-12&refpage=promotions/sale-dresses

I got it in the sale about six months ago, but it’s even cheaper now. I have the matching coat as well.

I’ll either wear a bridal headband with pearls and a bit of bling, or one of those little hat/fascinator things with the netting that comes down over the face, as a nod to the veil.

I am a Hushista even at the poll station ( we have to dress in non-political party colours) so I have on Zebra leggings pale grey wide top with charcoal L/L vest under.. ..

Its sunny but with a cool breeze here ( but quite cold in here.. ) Ho hum, only 10 hours to go..

I havent had time to shop though, weve been steady all day

@Ninkaninus I love your dress.

Hello @Laska today’s outfit sounds perfect for Polling duty 👍
It’s beautiful sunny and warm with a very light breeze in East Anglia and roses in my garden bursting into bloom. Love this time of year.

@soups yes we’ve got the same culottes! Snap!

@justi really liked how you customised your white trainers with black laces. Both look good and super comfy.

@nink Lovely Hobbs dress and the idea for accessories is great too. How exciting!

So “fat boy trousers” from Uniglo arrived for DH today and as always I’m amazed by the quality vs price. If you remember a pair of £9.90 sale Ines de la Fressage cotton/linen wide trousers “fell” into my basket. I wasn’t expecting much but blown away by the quality and cut. Proper Gatsby vibe trousers which I’ll definitely wear for work this summer.
Would have preferred in navy blue but this was the only colour left and it’s good and summery. They sit in your weight properly so you need to tuck in or the whole effect on me with my big boobs would be too blobby. But I actually like even if it’s not a style I’d usually go for. Just wearing with the t shirt I’ve got on today but will be good with one of my silk shirts tucked in (smarter).
If I was a high heel wearer I wouldn’t take them up but as I tend to wear flats/low platforms I’ll take them up an inch or so...Highly recommend!
I’m wearing size 28 - and they’re perfect not tight or too loose either.

@Soy great trousers, they look lovely on you. Would agree that they need shortening.

Hope everyone is enjoying some sunshine today. It's up to 23 deg today in London! Forgot to say, when I was in JL yesterday I had a look at some of the new Hush stuff. The quality was shocking especially the parrot print things. Disappointing.

I really must join the no spend bench but before I do, I want some white jeans. Cropped. And not skinny. If anyone has seen any like this please let me know.

two soups what about Boden Camberwell crops? They say Ecru though but look good

Just ordered the Portobello top... 👀 not sure how I missed that before

@Ninka - The dress is gorgeous! I love daisies! They always make me happy! I think you will have a wonderful day, and as long as you are doing it your way, it will be perfect. (I wanted to wear a green dress, but was talked into wearing a "bride" dress and I wish I'd stood my ground - It wasn't me.)
@Laska - sounds like a VERY long day! I hope the outcome is better there than here!!!
@Ella - Today's outfit is very stylish. I love the trousers! Wish I was tall enough to wear IDLF gear!

@huff the Portobello top is so pretty. Please report back although it's sold out in my size. I am considering the white Sandrine top. Does the code still work?

Nink beautiful dress, I do like Hobb dresses the quality is usually very good, sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous day😍
Soy those trousers are fab & what a bargain love them.
Laska shame about the weather, it is a really beautifully warm day here in London, glad the the poll station hasn’t been to quiet am 🙏🏻 That the lunatics don’t take over the asylum.
Just the customised trainers are great.
Off to take a little look at tops now.

I've been busy Ebaying today. I've still got a lot of my dds' clothes from over the years. Most of them I give to charity or to a neighbour with younger dds, but if they're nice enough to get a few pounds then I do it. I've also listed the red Susanna dress for £45. I had an immediate offer of £35 but decided to hang on for a bit.

@laska thank you for the jeans recommendation. I had a look at those Boden ones and think they seem a little too wide for me.

I have the hush Portobello top. It is beautiful. I have had it since last year. Its a gorgeous blouse. Its still packed away in my summer stuff so haven't worn it this year.
I wore my lovely Romeo jacket today with my skinny jeans. So comfy. I will post a picture as soon as my phone is in charge. Its really a lovely jacket and perfect for summer.
@soyo, great trousers. Very flattering. @Nink, Congratulations on your wedding. Lovely dress and perfect for your day :)

Thanks for the uniglo trouser love girls (did I tell you I’m seriously impressed by the fabric quality?)
Today I’m wearing my new bargain Hush gf chinos with a leather stud belt (to toughen it up) and old Hush blush t with silver star on it half tucked in. Feeling light and summery and will be going to polling station when DH gets home from work.
@Laska hang in there!!

ellapaella I tried that dress on in new look but it wasn’t as flattering on me as you! I liked the colour of it too. I got this one instead and near trousers and top from river island.

Only 4 and a bit hours to go until we close.. then another hour and a halfish until I'm home ..

Oh dear @Laska, what a really long day. Do you get paid for it?
Well I have just been to vote. It was a stream of people. The box was pretty full.

@goodluck. fabulous outfits. You have a figure just like @ellas!

goodluck really lovely outfits, looks great on you I’m just about to order those trousers as I have a voucher for river island.
Laska very looong day for you, just back from voting they said been a steady stream all day.

Yes! Quite well.. about 2 Meryl's and a wren ..( and I get paid for my usual day as well ,).. would be more if I did the count as well but sadly didn't get it this time around

2wrens..

dontcallmelen I love these trousers! They had them in black too, same style but slightly different fabric. I’m sorely tempted to get those as well. They are comfortable but also really nice!

That's pretty good. Loving the fact that you are using hush as money!!!!

@goodluck love the trousers on you, and dress is fantastic! Great buys!
