Oops sorry found them!! Now to read back through the thread 😊

justilou1 · 18/06/2019 13:41

@GinandGingerBeer... I love the necklace too! It’s quite solid, but simple and timeless... while somehow remaining feminine and delicate. Must be perfectly balanced!

Ninkaninus · 18/06/2019 13:42

Hmmm I think I might decide against as apparently they are very delicate. That’s a shame, I’ve had my eye on them for ages. But I really shouldn’t be spending any more anyway.

Okay big haul (Huge) has arrived.
First Aster culottes, bought in 10 and 12 to compare. Keeping the 10. Camisole a disaster on me so not showing (I knew it was probably a no in any case due to my shape/also too much of a good print imho).
The 12 I’m trying on with khaki star T which is going back, thin and not flattering on me.
The 10 culottes with just a navy old linen T and my black Spanish silk top.

Jumper. Beautiful but too much in your face for my top heavy frame making me look bigger than I am.
I do recommend it’s fabulous but on me not so much...
AND took a punt on the BA embroidered jacket that never has and I totally love. But it’s an 8!! Can I get away with it?

Finally the Camel embroidered T.
Undecided.
See it with my Marina stripy skirt (reason I bought as it looked nice on the model) and compare to it with existing plain blue v neck T.
I think Return? It’s nice enough but tbh I think the v neck T looks better (and I have it in red/pink too to match colours on skirt)

I’m on a work call soon so will check your yay or nays later.
Thank You!

I’m actually relieved I don’t love it all on me Grin but thought you’d like to see in case you’re mulling it over (all except the Aster cami which is very well made but just NO on me Wink)

Haha nink ! - a Halo is a Halo regardless...

Wow soy! I love all that! The BA top, yes, definitely keep. It looks lovely and drapey, and not too small at all. (In fact - I think it looks perfect on the shoulders on you! Im beginning to doubt that hush actually do size things differently, TBH, even though they stick different labels on... They just claim it's meant to be enormous and swampy oversized on actual small people...). The culottes are fab (really like with the navy vest) - and the way you've styled the skirt is perfect Smile . I kind of agree with you on the 2 tees - the v neck is better with the marina IMO, though the colour of the camel one is lush - but, yy, if you want to send anything back, then those would probably be best. I kind of disagree on the jumper though - i think that looks really nice on you. The colours are amazing and it looks great with those jeans! I don't think it makes you look huge at all.

twosoups1972 · 18/06/2019 15:16

Great haul @SoyYo

I love the culottes and red skirt, they both look great on you. Camel t-shirt - I also saw it paired with the stripy marina, I think the colour is good with the skirt but just not sure about the camel. The skirt is very versatile colour wise, the light blue top looks nice with it and tbh you could wear almost any colour top with it. The BA jacket is fab! I was considering it too. I think the size is just right on you Smile

twosoups1972 · 18/06/2019 15:18

@SoyYo what size did you get the red skirt in?

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 15:26

Thank You not and soups 🙏
Totally agree.
You’ve got me doubting myself on the jumper...but it was the most expensive of that haul and really not sure...
Yes the skirt is a 10 and plenty big enough/comfy.
And the embroidered blue top is so voluminous this is why I get away with an 8...Hmm but also goes to show for my frame I should be an 8 so the weight loss journey continues...this is why it fits perfectly on my shoulders I’m actually quite small boned/petite and it’s just my boobs that always make me look bigger than I am (and the excess weight which I’m at least doing something about).

@soups Good Luck with DD Tonight!
I remember the anticipation and excitement on prom night so well Smile

CakeInMyFace · 18/06/2019 15:59

What do you all think of the Farah dress? I'm not sure...Im only 5ft 1 and a size 6 to 8 and not sure if it looks ok on or not? Never done this style before. I reckon will return....

cake it looks very good on you! Honestly suits you but what is it that’s bothering you about it? Shape? Length? Colour?
Btw we are silver trainer twins (I have those too Wink, super and so comfy! They look great with the dress btw)

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 16:11

not forgot to add I’m impressed at your restraint Wink and so won’t be enabling you to get that Toast jumpsuit unless you have no summer jumpsuits in which case consider yourself fully enabled even though it looks fab! Smile

TheFormidableMrsC · 18/06/2019 16:16

Hello! I keep losing you and then spotting you again! I think because I have struggled with the new season Hush stuff and indeed haven't been able to save to treat myself because of other more important things, I've lost momentum.

I did, however, order the Paradise slogan sweatshirt in what I can only describe as a nuclear shade of highlighter lime/yellow. I am really not sure, the sweat itself is a lovely cut and 100% cotton which I prefer but the colour...I am wondering if that might fade..does anybody else have one? One of the reviews says it "runs a lot" so wash separately. I haven't bought myself anything for ages but it was a good sale price just not sure that I want to light the way for wherever I go Grin

All the pics above are lovely!

CakeInMyFace · 18/06/2019 16:19

@SoYo think I'm just so used to wearing above the knee but it is a super comfy dress and be good for the in between days when warm for jeans but not warm enough for beach type dress! Perhaps I should just embrace the midi trend! Thank you for your kind words. I always think everyone on here looks amazing!

The shoes are comfy arent they!? This is my third year wearing them and they are looking a little worn but I cant bear the thought of trading them in yet!

twosoups1972 · 18/06/2019 16:26

@cake I really like it on you! I also used to stick to shorter dresses but I'm on the hunt for some longer dresses this year.

@SoyYo if you're not sure about the jumper I would return it. I'm trying to have a policy of only keeping things I love.

Ellapaella · 18/06/2019 16:40

Soyo love all of it - really like the marina skirt, the red skirt and the Aster culottes. All looks super, love the pale denim jacket with the red skirt.
Only thing I'm not so keen on is the blue T-shirt with the camel on but it's not you it's me 😁

@CakeInMyFaceI like the dress - looks lovely.

Ellapaella · 18/06/2019 16:40

@SoyYo I love the pink jumper, I think it looks super, love the colours.

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 17:02

Waves to MrsC nice to read you! You know I thought about some of our old thread posters recently and your name popped into my head...I wonder if MrsC is still around? And here you are soys telepathic powers but unfortunately can’t help with your conundrum...sorry! Hopefully someone will be along soon to do so.

cake yes I’m the same as you re silver trainers. Clark’s stopped doing them and they’re my comfy precious silver feet Sad keep the dress it’s a great length and easy style (AND looks great)

soups the jumper quality is honestly fabulous and the mix of textures/colours make it so unusual but yes that crew neck is not for me. DH agrees too. I need a v neck/scoop neck or boat neck with my chest. And you’re totally right I don’t keep anything these days I don’t love and know will wear 👍

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 17:04

Oh thanks Ella! That jumper would actually look marvellous on you.
The camel T is going back (the Marina I’ve had for a while but I have better T’s to match it to then the camel for sure 👍)

twosoups1972 · 18/06/2019 17:28

My living room has been taken over by teenage girls! The prom venue is close to our home so I said dd could invite her friends over to get ready here. Me and one other mum will drop them off soon. It's a hub of activity, long dresses, high heels, make up and hair! Shame the weather is rubbish Hmm

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 18:13

Happy Girly Chaos soups!
Take plenty of pics (they’ll thank you one day) and a well deserved Wine when they’ve been dropped off at the prom venue.
I’m excited for them and don’t even know them other than via you but have this vision in my head of overexcited beautiful young girls in their glad rags. What Fun!!

SoyYo · 18/06/2019 18:15

Is glad rags the correct term for pretty frocks? If not forgive my English as a second language faux pas Smile but that’s what I meant to convey...

Disco3000 · 18/06/2019 18:19

What is a Hushista? I've tried to work it out!
