Looking fabulous @laska :) Love the jacket!!!! Wink

twosoups1972 · 25/10/2019 14:01

@dontcallmelen Boden have 25% off from Sunday Wink

MILfatigue · 25/10/2019 17:04

Laska, I like both outfits, especially the leggings!

two soups, that jacket is gorgeous. Lovely green. I've got a Boden £10 voucher that runs out tomorrow if that helps - although 25% will help a lot more of it applies to the jacket!

Tu are currently doing 25% off too. I've some great things there in the last few years.

Hush back on Brand Alley, mostly stuff that’s just been in the sale.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/10/2019 07:11

Yes, I got an email too but its all a bit meh as it is as you said Talisin just things that were in the sale.

DoorsAndWater · 26/10/2019 09:16

I’ve ordered the colour block coat for as I’ve been looking at it for a while and a couple of long sleeve t shirts on BrandAlley, lots of knitwear but none of mine have been particularly hard wearing from Hush so far Smile

Sooverthemill · 26/10/2019 09:21

The Pele coat is on brand alley 10, 12, 14 and 16

chuggingalong · 26/10/2019 16:28

Any hush vouchers around please hushitas?

Sooverthemill · 26/10/2019 16:32

@chuggingalong not unless you want to spend £80 then several people will have a refer a friend code. They have just finished their sale so everyone is waiting for the next one!

chuggingalong · 26/10/2019 16:54

Ok thanks soover

miffy2 · 26/10/2019 18:16

OK, all my Asos and H&M deliveries arrived. Thankfully for financial reasons I am not keeping much!

The Spanx Moto leggings are a must. I had ordered M and L, but they sent the plain ones in M by mistake. As the promo is over and they don't do exchanges, I have to keep the L to get the good price. In truth there is very little difference in the sizes so I will keep them.

From H&M I am keeping the burgundy leopard print skirt, a fluffy v neck jumper in cream, the rust cardigan which goes with the skirt, and the black teddy coat.

If Hush have a promo soon I may try out the velour pleated skirt.

Other than that I am kind of sorted for winter. I still find knitwear difficult as the 'relaxed' type are usually way too big and droopy on the arms and shoulders, yet I don't really want anything fitted. The best buy so far was the M&S cashmere jumper in cerise - I have already worn it twice. I would like to try the boyfriend version from Hush but it is a bit out of my price range, for now anyway.

Sooverthemill · 26/10/2019 18:24

@miffy2 that sounds like a lovely haul from your shopping.can we see photos please? I'm thinking about faux leather leggings but in truth have nowhere to wear them, I have black velvet jeans for my occasional nights out which don't get much wear and are very nice. I also have some fancier wool trousers and a skirt that's fine so I don't think I will get them.

miffy2 · 26/10/2019 18:34

I will try and get photos but that would be very out of my comfort zone :)

I got the regular spanx leggings for christmas last year and I love them. I wear then with my Hush wide jersey tops in grey and black. Also in winter with a big black sweater from AllSaints. I would love a thinner sweater that it long enough to cover my bum or a loose shirt but have not found either yet. I bought other version of the leggings from mint velvet nad iClothing and both were awful on me.

i have worn them with trainers and also ankle boots.

Sooverthemill · 26/10/2019 22:19

Go on @miffy2 if you can! You don't need to show us your face just random bits of you in the clothes! It really helps me see what stuff looks like in real life

miffy2 · 27/10/2019 18:31

Are there any 10% codes? Would love to test out the Brigitte jumper since none of the H&M or Stories ones have worked out for me :)

Laska2Meryls · 27/10/2019 19:10

I'm hoping for a code soon also, Miffy , last years they did a Halloween one..
I have a Hush green velvet blazer which arrived from the BA sale.. very pleased as took a punt on the12 fitting,(because f norks Hmm)and was all they had in stock, but they sent me a 14 with a 12 swing tag and which really does fit !. (and goes really well with my JL satin skirt)

I'll post a photo tomorrow .. otherwise nothing more I want from the BA hush sale..

Neither Hush itself really ( unless you count the Battersea snake boots that i really cannot justify at that price) But having kept the Moto jacket , I now do have a bit of a yen for the Flash T if there is a 10% code in the offing (I know... a bit of a cliche, wanting to wear them both together but so what!? Grin)

miffy2 · 27/10/2019 19:24

I think I would like the jumper, the velour skirt and maybe the straight leg jersey trousers just to try.

The moto is gorgeous on you. I already have three leather bikers, some of which are quite old, so I have no need for another :D I think the Flash T will be fab with it!

neveradullmoment99 · 27/10/2019 19:58

I haven't worn my moto yet :) Will at some point this week though as its going to be cold but dry. I love the tiger tee. Want that. Wish they would do a discount. It seems to be slow in coming.
I love the velvet blazer @Laska2Meryls. Make sure you post pictures of your whole outfit. I think the green is gorgeous. What will you wear under it with your skirt?

neveradullmoment99 · 27/10/2019 20:03

I did actually purchase yet another jacket from m&s but I have really wanted one that was similar to the Jigsaw style ones so I got this at a fraction of the price. I am really loving some of the things from M&S [ What is wrong with me?] Some of the knitwear is just lovely. I saw a gorgeous cardigan today in purple. Didn't buy thinking I may order online but its not on the website yet. Its gorgeous.

Seriously though, how many jackets do I need? Its lovely though.

Laska2Meryls · 27/10/2019 20:12

never I am quite keen on this blouse to wear with the skirt but not sure really.. I dont think it will go with the blazer though .. iwil have to have a I think..

Laska2Meryls · 27/10/2019 20:18

I did order the Eris silk top from the BA sale.. I think that will work also

miffy2 · 27/10/2019 20:24

I am rather liking M&S this year too, never. I bought a short flouncy skirt (not worn yet), the cerise cashmere jumper and a second pair of white trainers with a star on them (Holly's favourites I think?) - the ones I have are soooo well worn at this stage. Also did someone here recommend their leggings? I bought a pair that are suedette to the front and jersey to the back. Really gorgeous and will look good with knee high boots and tunics.

I want to check out their Harper jeans as they look similar to Hush Holly jeans that I have bought in every colour over the last 4 years :D

neveradullmoment99 · 27/10/2019 20:33

I think that you may be right about the black blouse. Its nice but I think the neckline might be tricky under the blazer? A simple silk top with a shallow V-neck or a scoopy crew neck might be nice with a scarf that brings out the green. I think black will also suck all the beauty from the green imo. Cream/ lighter green or a blouse that has green accents may be better.

neveradullmoment99 · 27/10/2019 20:35

Not this colour but something like this. Nice with a cap sleeve and very wearable after

Is difficult to see without seeing both the jacket and the skirt together.
