Toasties Springing into…Spring?

[ilovecherries]

New thread.

This dress surprised me. Really didn't think I would like it so much.
As for my 2nd favourite, very difficult too. I've so many gorgeous dresses. Think it has to be a dress although I have worn and loved my emma tees to death. I do love the stripy green one that I got in the sale.
I think for me the most worn has been my denim pinafore.

I do have the cord on. Its worn less. I think its the colour. I think it washes me out a bit but I do love it also.
I also wear the indigo ashley jeans a lot.

I also love [ stop me now!!!] the ruffle collar dress in navy. Wearing that today. Got it in the sale at the last minute.

I’m on a roll too! I forgot that I’ve worn my denim wrap skirt at least 3 times a week since I bought it in July - perfect for wfh, money very well spent

Emma tees , yes and nightwear....Love Toast nightwear and I have 3 bamboo nightdresses 3 dhuggies (worn a lot as kaftans on the beach) and all my PJ's and PJ trousers are Toast . I wear these all the time as loungewear with the Francis and Emma tees .

Last years Alpaca lace jumper (I now have in both colours! .. one bought from the lovely Neveradull moment) are constants atm also .. I have just been out walking and have the pumpkin one on now..

I do wear my Alix trousers lots in the spring and summer ..

I love the long Elena and oxford shirts I have also ..

I have bought Toast dresses previously but tbh have ended selling most on.. I no longer seem to have a dress lifestyle since no longer working

This jumper (also in oatmeal) ..its a big favourite!

Great question.
My most worn winter dress is the checked cashmere cotton one.
But I get most wear out of my Gabis for trousers, Francis tees. And I have one Mira sweater which I’ve worn more than any of my jumpers.
I also have got a lot of wear out of my workwear jackets in Spring/summer.
In summer my most worn is the triangle dresses , I have 2, so easy to throw on and are cool.

Very similar to Count

My constant wardrobe is Gabi's, twill or wool in winter as warm for work basics and my Mira jumper.

I wear my denim tunic dress a lot for WFH so comfy yet looks smart on Zoom 🤫. At weekends my Annie jeans or dungarees get worn a lot.

In the summer an Ikat wrap dress from a couple of years ago & the black and red check from last summer are most worn.

As @Laska2Meryls said, most frequent would be Toast nightwear. I like very the Dhuggie too, great for al fresco breakfast in the summer (at home I hasten to add). Then after nightwear, the Indigo flat front culottes get a lot of wear. Toast dresses are a daily staple in summer, although if the prices keep rising I’ll need to find an alternative as mine wear out. Also I’ve worn a few Toast jumpers on repeat this winter… the charcoal Alpaca cardigan from this winters sale has been worn a lot.
I’ve ordered a few pieces from Me and Em as I’m trying to break up my head to toe toast aesthetic I used to consider them too expensive but after a browse last night, compared to what I’ve begun to consider reasonable after becoming conditioned to Toasts price rises…. They seem rather reasonable!
I’ve realised after some thought that some items are worth the money, eg the indigo flat front culottes as although nearly 200 pounds cost per wear, they are value for money. However I’d never wear the green gingham top (for a similar price) nearly so much, so that would only ever be a sale purchase. I think knitwear also, if looked after can be good value for money on a cost per wear basis.

For me I think it is the PJs and the jeans that get the most wear, the Annie jeans and the Ashley jeans. I have also been wearing the lovely green silk scarf from the late summer collection which went into the sale eventually.

Dresswise, I love all of the slightly fitted dresses with the neckties: they have done them for several seasons and I have at least six of them. I wore the Zadie Foulard one from last winter the other day and it feels so good and so flattering.

Last night I wore the Vale Print Shirt to the pub with jeans and got very positive comments.

And of course the Vive La Difference Freeway bag - such a stunner, even my husband noticed and admired it.

I also think the current season tie neck chambrey shirt will become a favourite too, it is lovely if any of you are considering it. I did size down from a 12 to a 10 but see that the reviews are mixed on this.

I like hearing everyone's favourites.
The trousers (balloon leg and indigo wide leg) and shirts I have are probably most worn. And dresses in summer though I bought a cord tiered dress for winter (ebay) and have worn it lots. Also the chalkboard check.
But I find I wear my toast a lot - I am ruthless about getting rid of anything I don't wear.
@Saurus72 I wanted to say I love how glam you make toast look.
@ToastCosILoveIt the tie neck blouse is the one thing I am considering from the new collection.
@amethystmoonshine I have also bought a couple of things from me and em recently. I will link when on pc. I find them affordable in the sale, full price not so much.

@ScottishMouse I find cos good for trousers if you want to cast your net wider

I like cos trousers as well, and tbh find them more forgiving on the waist and generally a better length than toast. Having said that, I have 4 pairs of Alix that I wear a lot, and have really loved the wool check ones this winter. Also love my gabis. And my denim dresses. Oh, and my winter jumper with the snowflake design. And my jerkin. Hmmm. Well, at least I do obviously love and wear what I buy! Adore the workwear jackets as well, but they are more summer wear here.

[quote Saurus72]@Laska2Meryls good question! Pretty much all of my Toast dresses are in heavy rotation which I’m really pleased about. My single most-worn item in the past 6 months is the black dress, only bought a few months ago but worn sooooo many times it’s been worth the money at least twice over. I wear it mainly when I go out at night usually with ankle boots - I put it on and feel amazing. My other most-worn dress this A/W is the green floral one - I wear it pretty much every weekend, so comfy. Both of these will be great most of the year I think, except hot summer days.[/quote]
Saurus can you remind me what that black dress was called?

Yes, it’s called the Luna print dress. I’m wearing it as I type 🤗

Oil cord trousers I wear constantly and absolutely love the colour. The alpaca yoke jumper in blue with acid green is a delight, so soft.

Are they not very long @TheChattyRat? I can’t seem to get Cos to work for me, bought a T-shirt dress last year (and it’s long) thought sizes a bit unpredictable and there was something about the returns process that made it bothersome.

Forgot I ,too, love the Annie trousers.

I got my Freeway Vive la Difference bag too @ToastCosILoveIt and am utterly in love with it. It smells beautiful. Reviews have commented on not being able to get much in but when I went out I managed, decent sized purse, Card holder, mini antibac spray, tissues, single key, phone(now admittedly not a massive phone) and mask, oh and lipstick. So it works for me.

@Countmeout, I agree, the bag is fine in size: I fit in an IPhone max, lipstick, small handcream and a small cardholder no problem.

Reporting in on the pecan trousers with the tabs at the waist. @Laska2Meryls, I think you were interested.
They are very very nice. Fabric is a beautiful colour, and a good weight to wear most of the year. They look good with navy and blues, denim, a white shirt, and other colours too.
Size wise, I ordered both 6 and 8, I have Alix trousers in both these sizes and Gabis in a 6 (although they are a touch too small these days!). I have never found a pair of Toast fixed waist trousers that fit as I carry my weight on my waist and need an elasticated waist for a bit of give. I also have no hips or bum to speak of. But these might just work.
The 6 is too tight on the waist. I can get them closed but can’t really breathe! But the sizing is good elsewhere. The 8 are a perfect fit on the waist with the tabs at the looser setting, and I could probably move the buttons a bit and get the tabs closed tighter, but it does leave a weird pucker at the waistband in that case. A belt works better for me. I’m just not sure if they are a little big on the bum/hips in the 8. I think they are only a smidge too big, but I would be worried the fabric would stretch with wear.
So I’m not sure yet whether I am going to keep them or not. But I would definitely recommend for others, they are really lovely.

Just placed my very first order….garment dyed linen shirt dress in peacock. No idea about sizing so ordered a small as recommended by a friend.

@ScottishMouse - would love to see a pic? I have exactly the same problem as you with the fixed waist trousers. It's so annoying!

I'm definitely in the market for another pair of trousers as I think my indigo Alix are going to have to go - they're just too big

Have just bought a really lovely Kin hoody in cream today - it's such a good shade - very optimistic!

Well I ordered the green tie pinafore on a whim. I'm really not sure about it. Ive asked my dd and she says she likes it. Im a bit worried if it looks like an apron. Really not sure. Ordered the dark green one.

Thoughts?

Its not a great picture to be honest. Its also quite crumpled [ Usual Toast style!]
