@goodluckandgodspeed lovely ❤️ Dress looks fantastic on you and I really like those trousers.

Actually you've reminded me I have a pair of paper bag khaki trousers from TopShop I still haven't worn yet bar one night out. Must dig them out now weather is warmer.

Ok, so finally got my Brand Alley order today and ... I'm not sure. But as promised, a few pics. If the pics load in the order I intend them to, I ordered:

  1. Que sera sera pink tshirt, small, £17. Quite like this. A nice pink - not too sugary. Possibly should have ordered a Medium to make it more slouchy? Will probably keep.
  1. Pink linen boyfriend top, xs, £22. Can't believe this is a xs - it's massive! Feels lovely and light but possibly a bit shapeless? Undecided.
  1. Turquoise scuba scoop top, xs, £22. Doesn't show well on the photo, but the lower sleeve below the seam is a lot tighter than above the seam creating kind of a puff-sleeve situation. Quite a nice casual top, if a bit shapeless again. Decent enough for weekend chores out and about and ok for the price. Will probably keep.
  1. Star struck red striped tshirt, small, £15. Seduced by the price! Am not really a slogan tee kind of a gal so this one was a bit of a wild card. Not particularly special but it was only £15... undecided
  1. Brigitte navy/green / white stripe top, xs, £29. soyo this may look familiar! Purchased in xs as small had sold out when I went to order. A very fine knit top that feels great on and is a good light long sleeved top for slightly cooler days. Feels expensive at £29 for what it is, but am inclined to keep.

Ok, here come the photos

Grateful for thoughts. Costs £3.50 to return so I kind of feel like I need to return more than one item to make the postage seem worth it. Probably wouldn't bother returning just one thing (and that's how they get ya!)

goodluck am envious of your figure. The dress and trousers look amazing on you!

goodluckandgodspeed · 23/05/2019 22:12

libbyjeffries
I like them - they are good casual tops. I particularly like the second one for the colour and I do like the slogan one!

Thanks SoyYo and Ellapaella. I’ve seen some shoes I really like too but should probably wait til next month to buy them!

neveradullmoment99 · 23/05/2019 22:15

All looks good to me @LibbyJeffries. I especially like the colour of the blue top. Like the stripey tee. I really like all of it on you but I suppose its about how you feel about it and how it fits with the things in your wardrobe.

justilou1 · 24/05/2019 08:58

@Libbyj - I really like the que sera shirt and the star struck one. The pink one is okay, maybe you could “French tuck” it? I love the colour of the turquoise one, but if the sleeve is dodgy, I wouldn’t keep it. The jumper’s fab!

neveradullmoment99 · 24/05/2019 09:15

Maybe im just unlucky with BA but out of the things i have ever ordered, only 2 things were perfect and i didnt really inspect them. I ordered all saints boots. The sole started to fall apart. Pale blue hush blouse has a defect at the back so check your items carefully.

neveradullmoment99 · 24/05/2019 09:52

So Veria skirt. Beautiful. A keeper. Has pockets.
Think the jumpsuit is ok. Not sure its worth the price. I could get the same cheaper from next? Also has no pockets.

Skirt is beautiful material. Size down. This is a 10

Huffthepuff · 24/05/2019 10:09

Ding dong Never! Love the skirt and LOVE LOVE LOVE the jumpsuit! Looks incredible on you!

Huffthepuff · 24/05/2019 10:17

What size did you order in the jumpsuit @neveradullmoment99? Not sure if I need a 10 or 12. My shoulders say 10, my thighs say they need a 12...
It really is lovely on you 😍

neveradullmoment99 · 24/05/2019 10:25

Really? Was set to return it! Thanks everyone. Its got space. Its stretchy. I have a bra on with it. So the straps are spaghetti ones. I would just wear a bra with it unless i wore it with a costume under it.

neveradullmoment99 · 24/05/2019 10:27

Its a 12. I am a 12 with a round tummy. The top is stretchy although when its on sits tight. The bottom half is generous and the jumpsuit has a side zip.

Huffthepuff · 24/05/2019 10:36

Seriously @never, With your black Hush sandals and your denim jacket. 👌perfect outfit. Personally I would keep, but only you know how it feels on

neveradullmoment99 · 24/05/2019 10:48

Yes thats a good outfit. Thank you😊👍

Huffthepuff · 24/05/2019 10:56

I've just emailed Hush to ask how much I need to spend to qualify as a Hush Friend (rhetorical question). I would order even more (heaven forbid) if I didn't have to wait 4 days for deliveries

Ellapaella · 24/05/2019 11:07

Agree totally with Huff - love them both and you must keep. Agree with denim jacket that jumpsuit is a fantastic outfit for summer.

justilou1 · 24/05/2019 11:12

I love the jumpsuit!!! (Pickets would definitely make it a keeper, though!!!)

SoyYo · 24/05/2019 11:41

@never yes you must keep. The skirt is beautiful and jumpsuit is so flattering on your shape 😍 recent kimono purchase would also look great with it 👍

@Libby all your BA Hush goodies look good on you Smile. If you really must return something go with your gut feel: your least favourites (stripy slogan t and oversized pink jumper) and you won’t go wrong.

SoyYo · 24/05/2019 11:42

@Huff and @Ella it’s a total mystery to me why you haven’t got Hush friend delivery 🤔
If I were you I’d email their CS and DEMAND given your order history

SoyYo · 24/05/2019 11:48

Did I tell you I returned the short millionstars kimono? I was never totally convinced I’d wear enough even though the botanical print was lovely, just didn’t feel like “me”.

Then I made the BIG mistake of looking at their website which now has new sale items on so ended up ordering this which @nink I think got and a couple of scarves Blush

Absolutely no will power me...
