Talisin Sooverthemill

Thank you for explaining the friends thing to me. I have placed my order but only a couple of items were reduced. I’m tall, so will see if it’s all long enough!

dontcallmelen · 29/11/2019 10:22

Had a quick look at sale, nothing that exciting so won’t be ordering anything.

Sooverthemill · 29/11/2019 10:38

@Londonborncatty it is very random. I got it after just a few purchases but possibly because I had bought stuff 3 seasons running. I dont know and I'm not complaining!

miffy2 · 29/11/2019 16:34

Right, so, I just bought the Brigitte jumper as I reckon it is possibly the best price it will be, unless it ends up in BA!
However I also bought a cashmere jumper from AllSaints, a grey version of my beloved black Witby from last year.
AND a grey sloppy jumper from MandCo. Which looks fab over my M&S suedette leggings, so no regrets there. I am hoping I will only keep one of the two more £££ jumpers. Hoping. Not expecting ;)

Ellapaella · 29/11/2019 17:24

Sounds a good haul Miffy. I'm really pleased with my AllSaints jumper as well. No Hush for me this time around though.

Thanks Ella, will check out pinterest for some more ideas. I got the black Pascals - took them for their first outing yesterday Smile

Fuzzy, will definitely check out the straight leg joggers as well. I work from home so comfy loungewear is perfect for most days!

Sooverthemill · 29/11/2019 18:27

@miffy2 that sounds like,e a great haul and if you really wanted that hush jumper it's best to get it now!

miffy2 · 29/11/2019 21:03

Which AllSaints jumper did you get, Ella? I have to say despite the jaw-dropping prices I really like the quality of their clothes. I had some patterned Tshirts for years and they wore and washed so well. I have a leather biker and a parka that are also immaculate despite many wears. My Witby has worn well too.

Ooh that is lovely!

Sooverthemill · 30/11/2019 07:32

@Ellapaella are those your Christmas present boots?! My jumper is on its way. Looked again at JL all saints selection and there are several jumpers I really like. They have good blends that I think I would be able to wear so going to look out for their actual sale

Sooverthemill · 01/12/2019 08:41

So, had a difficult evening and cheered myself up with shopping from M&S ( I'd bought a sparkly cardigan which was a little too small across the bust so trying size up plus new t shirt bra to go under stuff) and a summer jumper from Pure collection ( half price) and a jumper from Baukjen which I am 100% certain will go into brand alley soon but which I've been thinking about for ages! And now I'm stony broke but thankfully have done almost all Xmas shopping so hopefully okay.

I did have a surprise which was a l'occitane advent calendar from DD which was fab, can't wait to open first door today! Never had an advent calendar before ( like never , not really a thing when I was a kid )

FuzzyPuffling · 01/12/2019 15:00

What a lovely surprise Soover. Well done your DH. You'll have to tell us what's in it every day. Please!

FuzzyPuffling · 01/12/2019 15:00

Sorry, DD not DH.

dontcallmelen · 01/12/2019 19:19

miffy sounds like a really good haul, let’s us know how it all was.
Soover ooh some nice things & what a lovely present from dd👍🏼
My FC dresses were lovely, have kept one as it’s a perfect fit & was £30.00 so a bargain as before discount was £90.00 the other one was really lovely but too big so sent back feeling a bit sad about that as it was a beautiful fabric & nicely finished , I also got the blue pattern roll neck from M&S that’s featured in the Tv adds tis very soft & cosy & £25.00 so thought that was a bargain as well, have been Christmas shopping today & feeling unusually organised got most things on my list.

dontcallmelen · 01/12/2019 19:28

The black & white one is the one I kept, the dusky pink floral is the one that had to be returned.

Had an email about the toast pre sale. 30% off

Sooverthemill · 02/12/2019 08:46

I've also just ordered several things from Poetry, mainly summer things, which look very nice. I checked that its just normal returns policy and free Royal Mail

dontcallmelen · 02/12/2019 09:15

Poetry have a beautiful grey velvet coat reduced, won’t be buying it but tis lovely.

Sooverthemill · 02/12/2019 10:05

Yes Poetry do have very nice things, I used to buy stuff from their sakes before I discovered Hush ( and Wrap London too). Beautiful natural fabrics but not high fashion so stuff lasts well

medb22 · 02/12/2019 13:22

Hello all. I fell off the thread again! Work, work, work.

dontcallmelen, I love those dresses.

My Hush order from some time ago, arrived and the Becky dress is lovely. The star jumper was less successful, but not because of the jumper, which is lovely and very well made (I love the biker detail on the shoulders). It's just that no matter how I style them, jumpers just make me look frumpy. I'm not sure why. Perhaps I'm too short? I don't know. They always look awful on me.

I'm hoping to get out to do some real-life shopping this week. I have a christmas party at the weekend and want something sparkly.

Talisin · 03/12/2019 05:44

I actually made use of the 25% off last night and ordered a couple of things I really can’t afford but what the hell. I suspect they will both go back but que sera... Anyway I went through John Lewis as there’s a nice handy Waitrose near work and should be getting the Becca jumpsuit and the Izzie jumper tomorrow.

Talisin · 03/12/2019 05:45

Meant to say I love that black & white FC dress, @dontcallmelen

twosoups1972 · 03/12/2019 09:11

It's a great jumper isn't it @Ellapaella , looks great on you. I've tried wearing it with skirts too, works well.

twosoups1972 · 03/12/2019 09:13

Lovely OB tops @dontcallmelen Smile
