The Hushistas dream of silk, velvet and cashmere (and Meryls)

Its huge @Laska. I had the 8! I returned cause the stitching came away under the arms to show a huge hole! I had it in red. I really did like it.

Damn you people! I've now got many things in my basket. I've never had a hush dress before and not sure I'm the sylph- like Type in the photos. The short ones look too short and the one dress I bought that was midi, hit the floor! So in my basket are the Dylan trouser ( any good?) the bell sleeve top ( @SoyYo that's your fault, would it go with slip skirt do you think?) and the snake print leggings @SoyYo again. But I do not go to an exercise class and I have a pair of jogging bottoms so I do not need them. I keep putting a tshirt in and out because I like it but I own eleventy million t shirts. But it's in French...I still have other things in my save for later hoping for end of season sale being better.

Have done another mini clear out of jeans and tops. Made almost £200 over last 10 days selling stuff. Hard work but worth it.

I really really really want the Grenson NAnnette boots because when I nipped out for coffee I went j to our ridiculously expensive boutique in town and foolishly looked at them and then held them. They are such fabulous leather and I really like the brown and also the suede. £265! Please explain to me why I shouldn't ask for them for Christmas. Like I leave the house about once a month and I do not live in Colorado and I have 6 other pairs of boots. And they will be laughed at by my family and in a year I won't like them. DH says I can have them for Christmas but it seems daft. Do grenson have sales? Please advise oh wise people

Well i meant to say @SoyYo that i have had a further two pair of BAM socks lol.... I do really like them. Just in time too as one pair has holes at the toes. Strange!!! I know you got freebies the last time too. Was wondering if you got any?

Sorry for the enabling soover but really my Hush leggings get worn and washed every week and they’re still good as new. Not a bobble or loss of stretchyness so definitely worth getting a second pair and I think the snake print is great. The bell sleeve top I hope will be good with the slinky skirts and the velvet one but no idea if it’ll leave up to its promise. Nothing for it but to try

Gin I also hovered over the zebra dress...it looks great! But really I’ve been so spendthrift I couldn’t justify any more dresses (except maybe for the red snake print shirt dress but I’m safe as it’s not on sale).

never unfortunately no more bamboo sock freebies I got 3 pairs last year which are still going strong but nada since then. You are obviously in their hopefully new customer books

As to new stock appearing and disappearing
I ordered a Felix in S Red to try, couldn’t justify multiple sizing ordering with my haul so either it’ll fit and will love it or it won’t and I’ll save some £ (desperately trying to patch together a very broken 😇).

It’ll live up to expectations! This iPhone speller makes me look illiterate. I can spell!

@SoyYo I have a Felix dress in dark green from a few years ago, I love it.

Did you order M or S soups?

I had a mad moment of velour curiosity too...last years velour trousers are £20 AND short so thought they’d make useful at home jammy trousers in winter. AND I had to try the velour tops because of the thumb holes (Pilates again). I’m totally totally hopeless 😩 I’m not usually into velour but they look sooo cozy.

Soover link to the Grenson boots?? It’s not the puss in boots style i hope....

For some reason I did still have premium when I ordered yesterday. Black Felix dress (M) - I’m not sure it has the exact degree of softness as two years ago. Plus I’m convinced it has a wonky seam but that may be down to my new varifocals, which are also flexing door frames and vertical blinds so I will wait till I put lenses in before I judge. But it’s a big block of black near my face.

Samantha’s trousers TTS in a 12. Quite like these, worried they will shrink but very cosy and a bit dressier than your normal jogger.

Wanda trousers again TTS in a 12. I think I prefer last year’s Winona but they are a comfy, slouchy fit, lengthen my legs and look good with trainers. Will probably keep.

Ordered after premium was removed: pelle coat and waffle hoodie.

Do you all wash your felix's then? I haven't but i air it and wear a long sleeved tee under it. Not worn it that many times.
I ordered the red felix last Christmas. It was a medium and i was sporting a wee bit excess weight. I may order the red felix if it is still in stock but only if it washes. What size did you all order?

Oh sorry i ordered and returned it. Thats why i would buy it!!

@SoyYo brown ; velvet suede shearling; and my favourite I think

I haven’t washed mine, never. I wear a tee underneath and give them a good blow on the line regularly.

I see why you like the boots Soover 😍
Well on the Felix I think miffy said Hers were fine with a cold wash so...I’m trying the S never I have a faint memory of returning the green in M a couple of years ago as it drowned me and I was about the same size as I’m now.

@imalloutofideas sorry I meant to reply to jeans question. I don't have Agnes but I do have other hush boyfriend jeans and I love them. Probably the jeans I wear most in the winter ( last years version). I bought a second identical pair so I can have them when the others fall apart! I also have an older cropped straight pair and a kick flare pair from 2 years ago both of which I really like. I am an 8 and find Hush 8 is reliable in terms of fit and comfort ( not too high, not tight on thigh etc). I also have other elasticated trousers which in an 8 are a little bigger but still good on me.

Knitwear: it's expensive so I don't have much. An ancient lovely coatigan style which I love and will probably wear I my coffin! An Olivia cardigan from this year which is lovely but so expensive. I have other jumpers too which are very nice but possibly you could get just as nice from &other stories, M&S etc.

Jeans generally: Hush is expensive but the quality is really good and I thunk worth it. I also have jeans from Boden, Frame, J crew, Current Elliot, Gap, banana republic. One pair from top shop ( okay) and ditto mint velvet ( again okay but nothing special) . Also jigsaw ( only buy in sales) and M&S. I thunk you get what you pay for in terms of quality denim. I've listed after many a designer jean but I won't pay £££ if you ant sure, try ebay for Hush

I like the look of both trousers you ordered cherries specially the Wanda 👍

A good review of the pele coat:

www.amodelrecommends.com/the-classic-wool-coat-a-january-sales-investment/

I thought the pelle coat looked fab but it would be far too long on my 5'1"

@SoyYo I think I have a S but will double check when I get home later.

Thank you soups don’t worry I’ll find out soon enough as I’ve ordered the S.
Great review of the Pelle coat never but being such a shortie don’t want to get too excited and I only ordered the 10 hoping that’ll swamp me less than a 12 (but whether it’ll be ample across the chest is 50/50)

Him, I’m wondering if I should have ordered the 14 in the Pelle. I got the 12 but if all you guys think that might fit you, it def won’t fit me.

cherries no you should be fine with the 12...I ordered the 10 and I fear it’ll be too small for my boobs. I think a 14 will be huge for you and the reason I sized down was my vertically challenged frame

Lost my nerve and ordered the 14 as well, as they only had one left. What do you bet I don’t like either then moan about them having my money for ages 🤣

At least it’s PayPal money, and therefore not real! Although I am waiting for a very large Other Stories refund which is now on 10 days, and that IS starting to feel real.
