Quite like one of the kin tops but being a 12 what size would you order?

Oh @Saurus72 that looks fantastic on you!! Off to look for a 16........

Quite like one of the kin tops but being a 12 what size would you order?

All Kin is huge, properly enormous. I’ve got a dress from the first range, when it was first introduced, it’s an 8 - I’m a generous 14! Go for the smallest size available.

Toast linen jacket oh yes! Here with other favourite Toast purchases of the season .. slightly superannuated model style 😂.. So glad that I ordered all of these..
My Steve Mono sandals in tan are going back as I have noticed a fault in the sole but really happy with the black ..which are a slightly more unusual colour for the style of shoe anyway

@neveradullmoment99 I'm a 12 so order a 12 or M in Kin, but the fit is designed to be V loose. The website usually has a graphic explaining the fit.
There's often Kin clothing on Ebay so always worth a look there.

This also mean that the Kin jacket will also go back .. it maybe far too big anyway. I will keep the JL utility one as its more Autumn being lined and was only 24

Love the Toast linen jacket @Laska2Meryls Your whole outfit looks absolutely fabulous!

@Laska2Meryls I live the way the scarf on your bag coordinates your hair.

Thank you @DameCelia :)

Yes, the coordinated hair and scarf is inspired. I wouldn’t be able to resist matching lipstick!

Thanks its a Seasalt sailor square ( only 4.50) Hair is still vivid .. after cleaning up the water leakage this morning , I havent made it to the shower yet .. may have seen enough water for the day !!

@neveradullmoment99 - I just googled the loop jersey - would love to see a pic of them when they arrive. Will you wear them with a tee underneath? Hope they come soon - it's annoying waiting for stuff isn't it

I'm a size 6/xs/sometimes 8 though that can be too big - but for tops at Toast I would usually get a S or a 10 because I'm a 30f and also I don't like tight tops. The linen half sleeve tee was quite neat fitting so I bought a medium - but I bought another in a small and that fits fine too

In Gap I am a 2p in trousers and a Sp in t-shirts. I tend not to buy shirts with buttons because the sizing just doesn't work for me

@Laska2Meryls - brilliant outfit!

I will post a picture whenever it arrives @faustina. Hopefully here tomorrow!

Yes, I would wear with a tee under it. That would be my plan. I had tried the Lydia and they were nice but they were full price so decided to send them back for now with all the bargain around.

bargains around rather!

[quote Saurus72]@DameCelia funnily enough the purple dress just arrived, and unexpectedly I think it’s a keeper. Beautiful fabric like you said and I think I could wear it year-round with boots and sandals.

Word to the wise and on sizing - I went up 2 sizes on my usual Toast size. It’s roomy but not ridiculously so. So if you can’t track down a size 14, size 16 may work. Good luck![/quote]
@Saurus72 that looks amazing on you. One of my favourite colours too. You are making we wish I had bought this now.

Thanks @Dottty - they usually do a random autumn sale with summer things in at big discounts so it may well be back! I do wonder if it’s right to keep it on the basis that who knows when I’ll being doing something nice enough to wear it? Hmm. It is lovely but still quite expensive even with a £200+ reduction. Think I’ll keep it but not throwing away the packaging yet just in case.

Well @Saurus72 whether you keep it depends on what size it is........ If its a 14 or 16 you obviously need to return it (to me😜), if it's any other size probably best to keep it!

Love that purple dress, it’s more purple than I expected, colours online sometimes disappointing in the flesh but that’s beautiful.
Great coordination @Laska2Meryls.

@Laska2Meryls, you look sensational in today’s outfit; I think it’s my favourite of all the looks you’ve posted.

@Saurus72, the dress looks absolutely stunning on you - I hoped to bag the scarf in that fabric but no joy. I think the purple would absolutely zing if you wore it with the red Saltwaters I spy under your sofa!

@neveradullmoment99, I was apparently a member of the Kindred club, only Toast never told me and the only way I found out was that suddenly my postage would show as free for express 24/48-hour delivery! I didn’t mention it to anyone in case it was a mistaken privilege that would be removed if I pointed it out. 😳 I did once receive a free gift of a beautiful Furoshiki (Japanese knitted bag) in a blue Ikat fabric when I ordered a black Kantha jacket in last year’s sale.

Incidentally, I have resolved my trouser quandary; I rashly gave my preteen the deciding vote between the Judes and the Jamies - without a moment of hesitation, she opted for the former, so I’m sticking by her choice. The Jamies are back in their packaging, ready to be dropped at the Post Office tomorrow morning.

I am eagerly awaiting the indigo pleat front trousers (due for delivery to our community Co-op tomorrow) and really hoping the fit is as flattering as the Judes (and the Jamies).

Does anyone else here like Emma Bridgewater mugs and crockery? Our charity shops are slowly reopening and in Oxfam today I found four original (I think 1980s) fig print mugs (with the original bridge for Bridgewater stamp), all in excellent condition, for £5 for the set! I am a not-so-secret geek as I collect Bridgewater mugs and pottery, Folio Society and Persephone books (plus Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath first editions). I like to think of myself as actually quite interesting in real life, though!

I have Emma Bridgewater @Moominmammaatsea 🙋🏻‍♀️

That was a great friend btw

Find 🤦‍♀️

@Countmeout, I knew that if we drew Venn diagrams of the quirks and interests of posters on here, there would be some overlap between Toast and Emma Bridgewater! I’m pleased that someone else can appreciate my rush of pleasure at such a find in our little Oxfam!
