@EllaPaella thanks. I've ordered the 10 which is my usual size so 🤞

VioletCharlotte · 16/05/2020 13:02

@Ellapaella thank you! They look much better on you than they do on the model! I'll order them and see what they're like. I struggle with jeans as I'm an hour-glass shape, so if jeans fit on the waist, they're too small on the bum and vice versa!

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 13:15

@EllaPaella I'm convinced she's a size 6 wearing an 8

Shannith · 16/05/2020 14:08

Hello 👋

@MerlinsButler oh they look much nicer on you than they did in the stock photos. I especially like the skirt and I love love the jumper.

toastfiend · 16/05/2020 14:11

@happytobemrsg I have the same keopard print dungarees. I wesr mine outside with real people and no one bats an eyelid!

No photo from me today. I'm exercise gear as just done a workout with DH. Shattered now as he's a crossfit nut and I'm mostly a fan of sitting down. Off to walk the dogs in a bit and might go to the yard to ride. I'll make more of an effort tomorrow!

Shannith · 16/05/2020 14:12

@MerlinsButler the jumpsuit is perfect. DD (soon to be 9) has requested a jumpsuit for her birthday so I've been browsing H&M kids and wishing I could squeeze into an age 14 - they have some lovely ones and so cheap!

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 14:52

Thanks @Shannith I've decided to keep it all. It's good to try things that you wouldn't normally I think and this box makes me do that.

Sickoffamilydrama · 16/05/2020 15:19

Hi all so I'm in a outfit I like to think looks all swishing and Parisian I'm sure it's a bit like a blue sack in reality but I like it.

Don't now what brand either the dress or jumper are 🤦‍♀️

@EllaPaella hello - long time lurker who is about to press go on the Hush Alma jeans. I’m really a size 10 but an 8 in the Hush boyfriend and Agnes jeans, do these come up smaller? I have a pair of Hush camo jeans and needed a 10 in those - so I’m torn between 8 and 10.
Clearly I have a Hush jeans addiction!

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 16:07

@karmatime I also have the Alma jeans like @crazyspanielladyd them on. These I can't. They are a good fit but not very loose. I've put a photo of me in the Alma, my BF jeans and the Lennie relaxed which IMO is the same cut as the Alma so you can compare. I wouldn't size down ( I can be a 6 in hush bottoms). I think @ella is a size 10 as she advised me on sizing! I had to wait for my size to come back in stock. Check every morning at 8.30 for returns)

My message got garbelled. It's @ella who has these no idea why iPad said it was you @EllaPaella
So @Karmatime my advice is get the 10

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 16:09

Okay so my iPad hates me

PalacePaper · 16/05/2020 16:14

Wow I've not checked in for a couple of days and so much has happened on the thread!

@MerlinsButler I love the jumpsuit and the green jumper, they look fab. I'm very tempted to give stitch fix a go, it would be nice to get something I wouldn't have chosen otherwise.

I'm on the lookout for a new summer dress - I want midi or maxi (but I'm 5'2" so midis usually are maxi on me 😂) maybe a shirt dress - something I can wear with trainers or sandals. I really like some of the hush and mint velvet ones - though I think they will be too long - any suggestions of where else I could look?

It's a pleasant day here today, I'm in jeans from M&S and jumper and trainers from mint velvet.

@PalacePaper you could look at Boden. Their petite range fits me well. The dress I wore yesterday was theirs

I created a Pinterest board showing the style I like @MerlinsButler so I’m hoping it’ll help steer the stylists. Or they might disregard it completely 😂 glad you’re keeping everything in the box.

All this jeans talk is so complicated! I only have one pair in my life atm - tori mom jeans from New Look. I clearly need to up my jeans game 😂

Sooverthemill · 16/05/2020 16:30

@happy I have far too many pairs. Really need to cull but so many memories attached

Karmatime · 16/05/2020 17:22

Thanks @Sooverthemill - they only have size 10 in stock so it’s meant to be - I’ve barely been out of yoga pants since lockdown anyway so I’m not ready for anything too snug!

TheOnlyMrsW · 16/05/2020 17:31

@MerlinsButler I was introduced to L&Y by @toastfiend and they are so comfortable but I'm not brave enough for the dungarees yet! @happytobemrsg I only have one pair of jeans that fit me at the moment but a few others that I'm gradually shrinking into and want to try the "mom" style once I've said goodbye to more pounds GrinGrin

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 17:34

@Karmatime sorry I've only just seen your post, I'm a standard 10 everywhere and my Hush Alma jeans are a 10. I don't find them particularly big.

EllaPaella · 16/05/2020 17:36

@VioletCharlotte I'm an hourglass too so hopefully you'll like the jeans!

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 19:03

@happytobemrsg if you download the app it shows you clothes items each day and you can say if you like or not. I think they use that too to narrow down your choices.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/05/2020 19:08

Grey Levis and this rather excellent t-shirt, the purchase of which gives a donation to Birmingham Children's Hospital, making it even more excellent.
White Stans and a khaki Hush jacket when I went out.

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 19:13

@Palacepaper you should definitely give Stitchfix a try. I definitely wouldnt have tried the jumpsuit, skirt or jumper by myself but love it all.

happytobemrsg · 16/05/2020 19:14

I’ve been doing that @MerlinsButler - so fun!! I really can’t wait

MerlinsButler · 16/05/2020 19:16

@happytobemrsg I know I love it. Between these threads and stitchfix I'm really not doing a very successful shopping of my wardrobe. I'm just shopping other people's!
