Oh I have fallen off the thread! no new parcels for me to share ( unles you count a new reading lamp!) .

Len I just love the misty shade of that jumper 😍👌.. I have a couple of Tu cashmere cardis and they have lasted very well, also .

Otherwise in the past I have tended to buy (or ask for Christmas) JL cashmere , which is also good value ,slightly more expensive (but nothing like Brora prices!! )

Fingers drumming for a Hush code ......I am sure I must need another Meryl Wink

neveradullmoment99 · 30/10/2019 21:13

Well yes @laska, waiting patiently for a code and still none in sight :( No parcels for me either boo!

neveradullmoment99 · 30/10/2019 21:14

Beautiful jumper @melen

Ellapaella · 31/10/2019 09:13

I've totally fallen off the thread of late. Had a bit of a catch up and you've all been very busy! I fallen in love with these DM's - am planning to buy sometime after Christmas if I have any money left.
No more clothes purchases for me now until after Christmas - all my spare cash is going on that, car MOT and various nights out however I will still enjoy seeing all your purchases.

Lovely boots @ella. Love the ribbon laces!

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 12:34

.. I bought some boring walking shoes ... (glum) Grin

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 12:35

..but necessary.. old ones completely had it and finally ell apart at weekend

ilovecherries · 31/10/2019 12:44

Lovely boots, ella. Having decided I’m def keeping the ones my dad bought me (found the Virginia Pascal so much more wearable than the classic ones I’d tried before), I’m now fantasising about either an oxblood or a navy pair.

Lovely boots Ella
Ooh Cherries that’s great to hear😍
Laska I know but sometimes has to be done😂I have just had a parcel from landsend couple of boring but warm cotton jumpers & vastly reduced shell top which won’t be any use until next summer, but it’s a pretty colour so has balanced out the boringness.

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 13:06

oh I do have a parcel coming but again not very exciting , from Boden.. A Green voop top and a dark green vest top ( both to wear hopefully with my JL satin skirt . (and using Ella's £10 code. Thanks Ella! Flowers)

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 13:23

Thanks Wink

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 13:30

.... How can I be expected to trick or treat without a black Meryl ? 👻🎃🧙‍♀️🦇

dontcallmelen · 31/10/2019 13:48

Exactly Laska no self respecting trick to treater should be expected to venture out unless you have a black meryl 👻🧟‍♀️

Laska2Meryls · 31/10/2019 16:17

yes... because you can push the big collar up over your head like a cowl !!

neveradullmoment99 · 31/10/2019 16:23

Maybe they will do a black Friday discount? I ordered the olive jumper from Toast. That comes tomorrow but its pricey and not sure the colour is me tbh although I love it on the website. Put in the cropped cords in the brown grey too and a couple of skirts to try. I absolutely will not be keeping most of it. Only perhaps the jumper and the trousers or skirt. Actually just remembered that I wont probably be in tomorrow so will have to pick up on Saturday which is annoying.

SoyYo · 31/10/2019 17:01

Hellooo love the DM’s Ella and len such a great shape and bargain the Tesco cashmere!

Laska you look fab in your green jacket and skirt: perfect! Boots truly fierce and gorgeous too.

My BA Hush parcel is a win! 🙌
Blue starry Apollo blouse is gorgeous but if you’re tall you may find the front a bit short. For me it’s perfect: as it’s a very loose shape I sized down to a 10 (I’m a 14 due to boobage otherwise a true size 12 in most High St shops) and that was the right decision as it’s still loose but not huge. The back dips lower than the front as the sleeves are sheer whereas the body is nicely lined to protect modesty. Super pleased it’ll be lovely with the Hush velvet blue skirt, the navy M&S slinky skirt and jeans.
Also the blue Solitaire dress which will need an iron as it’s rather creased. But fit is great, fairly heavy fabric so good for winter with tights and even a polo neck/long sleeve top under. I chose a 12 and it’s again all good, no boob gap. Inky blue with subtle leopard pattern. It’s long on me but not quite maxi more of a long midi length.
I attach copy of my BA order to identify in case anyone is tempted to order/try.
Still waiting for the black jumper.
Super pleased they’re keepers Halloween Smile

Blue Apollo blouse is gorgeous but now only 6 left. Mind you if you are a true 10/8 High St size it will fit

neveradullmoment99 · 01/11/2019 15:35

Reviews are mixed size wise. I was in store and tried the 10 and the 12. For me and i am pear shaped, i needed the 12 due to my hips. Also nice to fit a jumper under it. The 10 was neat on me across the hips. If you are not hippy then you could get away with the 10 although if your busty, that may be an issue!

neveradullmoment99 · 01/11/2019 15:36

I think its true to size. Its meant to be oversized but i dont find it too big. It looks cocoon shaped as described and similar to the model.

neveradullmoment99 · 01/11/2019 15:36

Still no hush code. Ah well. Not going to order anything out of principle.

Sooverthemill · 02/11/2019 07:40

@neveradullmoment99 there are a few things in the new Hush catalogue that I would like plus stuff in my basket from previous drop but I am not going to pay full price!

Gilbert82 · 02/11/2019 07:44

@neveradullmoment99 I received an email this morning with a 10% discount code NOV10 Smile

neveradullmoment99 · 02/11/2019 08:13

Thank you😁👍
