Seasalt sale

[fuckyeahpercywigwam]

Seasalt are having a mid-season sale. It's not a place I do a lot of shopping in, but they recently started a maternity range, which included some jeans....Waterdance trousers. I'm not pregnant..too old at 64, but maternity jeans can sometimes work for me as I'm apple shaped.

I have one pair of these, and wanted another pair as I wear them so much, but at £62.50 a pop, they're not exactly cheap. However, in the sale, these jeans are reduced to £22.50, so I snapped up two more pairs.

Just thought I would share my good luck!!!!!!!!

**LIVE in them not love,but I do love them

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor re your Lazy Trousers. Is the thickness of them ok? One of the reviews say they go baggy quickly when you have them on, which made me think a bit, though generally the reviews are good.

I have the stripey tops in every colour way except the ones involving yellow. I have about 12 and live in them in spring and early summer. Good solid quality- not as top notch as Joules but 100% better than Boden for example whose quality is in freefall for tops.
I agree with pps about length though- I'm 5ft 10 and their other tops are neither one thing or the other. Too long to be t shirts, too short to be tunics. Makes them seem frumpy.
As for sizing- in M&S I'm a 14 top. In Seasalt a 16-18.

I like the striped tops better than the Joules ones - the Joules ones are too thick for warm days, and too thick for wearing a cardigan over on cool days.

Yes, I'd agree, the quality of the Joules ones is so good, it makes them too thick!

The Seasalt ones are a better fit on me too. The Joules ones are too boxy. I just wish Seasalt did better colours!

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants they are thick , not sure if they'll go baggy as I haven't worn them yet just tried them on.

Ha! Just got back from the local branch. I've bought the red stripy 3/4 sleeve top in a 20 (broad shoulders, back and big bust) TBH it's a bit too big which is kind of pleasing. Anyone know what shrinkage is like as it'll get tumble dried? I might go see if they've the 18 online.

I've only bought from them this year, so I'm late to the party, it seems lovely stuff

Ffs I've just ordered a skirt, I need to stop now.

Gosh @MrsPelligrinoPetrichor, you're really cooking with gas! I'm going somewhere tomorrow with an actual Seasalt shop, so I can go in and fondle the merchandise, fnar, fnar

I know

I've not bought any clothes for ages and am pig sick of the ones I have.

I had a good wardrobe clear out and decided I want all my clothes from Seasalt from now on

My Pottering Gown arrived, omg I feel like a woman from the arts and crafts era floating around in it Bloody gorgeous, I hate dressing gowns normal as I end up looking like a sack of spuds tied in the middle but this is really flattering and nice front patch pockets too!! 💜

Really annoyed by their website - twice now I've tried to order something from the sale and it shows as being in stock but then doesn't let me add it into basket because there are none left. Oh well, I probably don't need any more clothes anyway but quite fancied some culottes and a lightweight rain coat.

I haven't experienced that with Seasalt but I have with other websites and it's really annoying

Think I might get my jamas on and my Pottering Gown

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor. Today I have been to the Seasalt shop in Chester and bought one of the apple tops in the sale. I blame you, of course.

You can blame me What colour did you get? I got the mustardy green and the navy.

Ok, I shall. Colour is catkin.

The mustardy green might be the catkin one in fact. Only other green I saw was more emerald, but I was quite excited, let loose in a full Seasalt shop, so.

@fuckyeahpercywigwam sorry to derail. I did have a bit of a look at trousers, but I felt I'd gone mad enough for one day.

I have catkin and yacht. Not sure if the catkin suits me tbh, but worth a risk.

I am tempted to get the other colour Pottering Gown

I bought one of each colour,put them wrong sides together and sewed around the edges of the gowns and sleeves.I now have a reversible gown which I do indeed use to potter around in,and in my sewing shed to keep me warm.I removed the belt loops so at present it has no fastening and is just loose.I may form a fastening of some description in the future

This review from the website made me laugh, ingenious

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor get it! You know you want to. I'm going to look at yacht now. Stupid name for a colour tho...

I DO want to!
