Toasties Springing into…Spring?

[ilovecherries]

New thread.

Ooh I love both of those Kin trousers and the sweatshirt.. but I have just looked at my credit card ( having paid off my Toast sale purchases last week) and I rather like the fact that it only says 19p owed!

Styling conversations upcoming! I will definitely be tuning in to the Graham St session as I find their sessions inspirational.

Ace thanks @SmaugMum, adding to the work diary now

Now I've been in the Brora sale and really I blame you lot.

ooh what did you get lordloveadog??

Just been into a shop - tried on the fern green cable cardi

It's really beautiful but made me look bulkier than I am - and that's not good!

Lovely assistant told me there are lots more things on the way - paricularly dresses - some in a new even longer length - and denim - including a short sleeved denim shirt and full length high wasted jeans...

That’s a shame about the cardi @NoCureForLove . I’m hopeful there’ll be a new denim dress I like, really cross with myself for missing the one in the sale.

Ooh yes. I'm a sucker for a denim dress...

That is a pity about the cardigan @NoCureForLove.
Look forward to seeing new things. Wonder if they’ll have some in the video on the 16th .

Have you seen this season’s jerkin. I would have described it as a waistcoat but what do I know? I think someone who could knit could knit it. Know nothing about knitting either though.

Very much looking forward to more dresses coming - I wear them probably 80% if the time and there isn’t anything that is drawing me in so far. Good for my finances though…

You called?
Yes that would be simple to knit, I really like it but £155
Oooh more denim dresses -hurrah!
Wore my swingy one on a recent holiday and wearing the workwear dress today with layers underneath.
Also nothing grabbing me atm

Bought the Grid Check Crinkled Dress in store. Didn't have time to try on other items so I will need to go back.

Similar observations to posters upthread - the dress was a lighter material than the recent blue and black crinkled cotton versions. Also, it seemed very slightly less oversized than those ones - but still fairly roomy.

I find these dresses really useful items and easy to wash.

I used to enjoy the Graham st blog - not sure they do it anymore.

But I did smile at how to style nightwear - just put it on and go to bed surely ?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly! Nothing really drawing me in either. Not much is new. I wish they'd hurry up and put more on. The website is really full of a lot of old season stuff. It's dissapointing.

No, no, no, there’s so much much more to nightwear than simply wearing it to bed.

There’s the brazening it out in front of the postie strategy - I’m not really STILL in my nightie at 11.30am, I’ll have you know that this is a TOAST day gown. And a very expensive one too. This look is all the rage in the current WFH economic climate - I absolutely swear that I do NOT wear my nightie 24/7.

Then there’s the faulty boiler layered look of nightie, plus gown, plus woollen hiking socks, plus shearling slippers, plus voluminous wrap, plus ancient moth-ridden cashmere cardigan, all neatly accessorised with a pair of fingerless mittens to prevent frostbite (recent bitter voice of experience here).

Smaug I think that boiler look could be straight out of a Toast styling look book.... ( Maybe swap the cardigan for an alpaca one though .. preferably in a tasteful shade of grunge.. Dont forget a hat with a tasteful mushroom sticking out of the band!

I was thrilled to buy an Elena khaki shirt for £30 on Vinted yesterday .. 🤞 its ok... It maybe too big though, but if so ill sell it on .

Good buy @Laska2Meryls

What on earth is this hat? Lampshade chic 😮.

Vinted has lots of Toast items! Some much cheaper than ebay.

Sounds like a good bargain @Laska2Meryls .

I was wondering about getting the Novesta Star Master to wear with skirts and dresses in the summer, I don't really want anything pale so I'm thinking the Navy should look ok.
Reviews look quite good although I have read about the shaped inner being uncomfortable for some people, hopefully true to size as well.

Lampshade chic! ... Perhaps it will be on the styling video...

@neveradullmoment99 I absolutely love that hat but would never buy for exactly that reason. Everyone would be asking why I had put a lampshade on my head

I have the canvas Novestas @Theteapotsbrokenspout. The insole is not comfortable for me for wearing all day. I couldn’t walk miles in them. You do get used to it but even so I’ve never found that makes it comfortable for wearing for an extended period.

Sounds as if it might be a bit of a problem then @Countmeout , that would be a shame as I really like the look of them. Perhaps I will have a look round for something similar without the shaped insole.

These are like walking on air!
