@Saurus72 I also ordered the lilac oxford shirt this morning along with half price Annie side button jeans. Fingers crossed but I think the lilac will be lovely. I am growing out my grey hair after a long time deliberating whether to do so, and I think lilac should look nice with grey."

Maybe get another thread going @Laska2Meryls if anyone wants to continue. Do ye think?
Chalkboard dress works well for Faustina. It wasn’t for me, but that’s why this threads interesting, shows some things work others don’t . And at least gives some idea of fit.

@lemonadeandpop Ah yes I remember seeing that in the Hampstead store. I think that’s a much better sustainability initiative than the made to order dress-with-matching-cushion situation. I need to remember that as I think it’s probably much better than eBay.

Re: the Toast brand. I actually do think there’s an issue with brand integrity. Toast was privately owned and now it isn’t. It grew from a range of pyjamas in Wales. Now it is still drawing from its brand heritage on the workshops etc they run but at the same time, more products are being made in far-flung places eg China. Other brands specify things like their wool sourcing policy (Arket) whereas this is less obvious with Toast. As other brands turn towards traceability, season-less style, buying less but better, Toast need to double down on their core proposition in actuality, not just saying it. When they sell £55 t-shirts, it reasonable to expect those t-shirts will be top quality. This wasn’t the case at all in last summer’s linen t-shirts which shrunk horribly. They need to live their values, not just talk about them and market them. Their dr lining customer service levels are another issue.

I think Toast make some of the best clothes available. To me, the styling is neither here nor there - it doesn’t align at all with the way I wear my clothes but that’s fine because I have a strong sense of style so I can see how things will fit with me and my wardrobe.

I love this thread so much for the intelligent conversation, the joy of clothes and the understanding that this thread is often about much more than outfits - but allows us to be distracted during this very trying time.

Incidentally, I decided to wear my new chalkboard dress today, with gold hoop earrings, stacked bracelets and knee boots (I cleaned the soles so I can wear them around the house 😊). I had a horrible, hard, long day yesterday. Today, I’m armoured against f*ckwits by my outfit. Huzzah to that.

We shall need a new thread soon!!

I am still expecting Striped tee from JL the grandad linen shirt and a pumpkin lace jumper in S ..
I nearly broke resolution of not buying any more in the sale with Alix wool trousers in JL but they only had the 8 which I think will be too small.. my summer ones were 10

[Laska2Meryls]

Yes I think that you do have a very good point Saurus, I used to be a big Hush fan (some of you here were on that thread,) but they became samey and the quality is just not the sane, although they are still very good at some things..
Its say inevitable I think when some niche brands become successful and get taken over..
Anyway im off to make us a new thread!back to link in a bit ..

[Saurus72]

@Laska2Meryls the lilac shirt is good - beautiful fabric although quite long. I bought 14 but would have preferred 12 if they had had it. I bought it to wear under my denim pinafores though so sizing less of an issue.

[Laska2Meryls]

Saurus it was Dottty buying that shirt and jeans. Not me, my quote didn't work .. !

Anyway here's the new thread, ill just fill this one up and see you all there
