If you don't like bare arms this is great and although pricey its beautiful quality:

@Ellapaella I think it is a really lovely top. Hoping its as nice as the toast ones I have ordered so I can save the money!

Ooh yes lovely 😊

Ellapaella · 16/06/2019 20:06

Love a good eBay find

FuzzyPuffling · 16/06/2019 20:07

Lovely ideas...thank you all.
And never that's a fab top.

GinandGingerBeer · 16/06/2019 20:21

Those soft drinks sound lovely @just, the uk market is getting there as in you can get quite a good choice in supermarkets but bars and restaurants still continue to charge a fortune and only stock boring Diet Coke.

SoyYo · 16/06/2019 20:47

Love the shirt never! Total bargain!

fuzzy thinking of your seaside lifestyle and there’s a 16 in stock, with great reviews. Would suit your winter colouring/easy to throw a plain cardy over in the autumn/spring so not just for high summer:

SoyYo · 16/06/2019 20:56

Or emerald green as you requested 😉 can’t go wrong with a simple shirt dress in a jewel colour

Kind of disappointed that the things I want won't be in the sale - Nini tiered maxi skirt and matching top, and the Aster skirt and/or scarf!

My blue Nini dress arrived today and I love it. If we ever get a summer here it will be great for daytime wear, with sandals or trainers.

SoyYo · 16/06/2019 21:01

Very summery (weird I never look at phase 8 thinking they’re occasion wear) I just love the print mix in green

Hey has anyone got the Hush palm t shirt how does it come up size wise? I always but medium in Hush but they usually come up q large - thanks!

SoyYo · 16/06/2019 21:36

fuzzy I’ve ordered the Aster culottes and I think on me they’ll be like palazzo pants but on you more like the model? Fabulous print and elasticated half waist.
£55 on the sale

neveradullmoment99 · 16/06/2019 21:56

@Soyo I think the aster culottes are beautiful print and colour. I was very tempted by the kimono. If I hadn't bought the other ones I would have bought it to try but I have spent too much recently. Really looking forward to seeing it on you. I also love the maxi in the same print. Its also reduced and will totally sell out.

justilou1 · 16/06/2019 22:06

@GinandGingerBeer - the bars here are the same, trust me.... I just bring my own now and tell them “I have a problem with sugar...” (let them assume I’m diabetic) and they’re happy to oblige.
Meanwhile, was looking at some dresses for a function yesterday and realized that I haven’t lost my inner fat lady. I don’t get many opportunities to wear dresses in my usual life as a student and as a mum, and the shop I was browsing in yesterday basically kicked me out and said “We have nothing for you here!!!” I have no idea what suits me or what I like!!! (Add to that the fact that the temp has been anywhere between 14 and 27 degrees and my confusion grows!)

GinandGingerBeer · 16/06/2019 22:17

Soy the culottes are gorgeous, they had them in my local JL and the material is beautiful, you're going to love them. I do too but I'd not get my wear out of them. Aggghhh. I'm tempted now.....
Good idea taking your own drinks @just if they're not prepared to stock sugar free then sod em!
I know what you mean re weight loss, I was the same and kept buying clothes that were too big for a while.

miffy2 · 16/06/2019 22:21

@neveradullmoment99 can you tell me if the Aster maxi is reduced and also the Pomona scarf (in the same print)?

I am confused - do some people have actual access to the sale now, or can you just view the prices?

GinandGingerBeer · 16/06/2019 22:27

The scarf is reduced to £30 and the skirt is reduced to £55 @miffy2
Yes, the link is an early access so able to purchase (but I'm being good)

GinandGingerBeer · 16/06/2019 22:27

Skirt is available in all sizes @miffy2

neveradullmoment99 · 16/06/2019 22:48

Yes, the aster skirt is a great price. I am tempted too!!! [also by the culottes] I think they will sell out quickly on Tuesday when the sale is open to everyone. I think the price has been ridiculous.

Ninkaninus · 16/06/2019 23:18

Thank you all for your lovely comments, they are much appreciated.

Thank you also for the compliments on the bag and scarf.

soups it’s the Darley (small size). Also you are a great mum. I hope your DD has a great time.

sheep I get happy inside whenever you post with a new pair of sandals! 🙂👍

Huff the monsoon jumpsuit was a perfect choice and you looked fab. The bag was perfect with it too.

Tomorrow I am going to apply for new jobs. I am so frightened of putting myself out there, I have been avoiding it all week. It’s time to just do it and get it over with!

I hope you each have a lovely sleep, and wake up refreshed and well and contented.

miffy2 · 16/06/2019 23:51

Go for it Nink you have nothing to lose.

Thanks for the sale info. Think I may stay up late tomorrow in the hope that it starts at midnight. Although in reality the Nini skirt would fare better into A/W than the Aster.

SoyYo · 17/06/2019 08:38

Morning! Disculpas miffy somehow I thought your question on the Aster maxi came from fuzzy and I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up in the sale, fab print! I have high hopes. It seems this sale gave us “Hush friends” early access which I don’t recall happening before...

nink don’t beat yourself up for procrastinating, the good thing is you’re now ready to move on and look for a new job. Full moon in Sag today so good time to release all that no longer serves you to make space for the new (this goes for me too btw). You’ll ace it once you’re in the right head space

FuzzyPuffling · 17/06/2019 09:37

Lovely stuff!
SoyYo I am definitely a 14 in Phase Eight and Seasalt...but love the suggestions.
You've all given me a much better idea of what to look for - thank you.
Watch this space.....
