Toasties Springing into…Spring?

[ilovecherries]

New thread.

I must have been lucky with Vinted. I bought a Seasalt jumpsuit last week which arrived well packaged in like new condition, and today a White Stuff sleeveless jumper was delivered also like new.
They both fit beautifully unlike the Toast skirt I bought from eBay last year which was too small, although I did manage to sell it again.

@ScottishMouse I thought Vinted gave you the opportunity to complain about items, as well as giving a poor review to the seller?

They may do @Theteapotsbrokenspout, I haven’t checked, as I’ve never used Vinted before. I’m not sure I can be bothered with the hassle to be honest.

The kindred scarf is a bit reminiscent of the Harlequin dress, similar colours!

I got my Kindred scarf this morning, really lovely. I don’t think I’ll wear it but probably will tie it to a bag.

@faustina- I'm looking at the Novestas. I think you wrote that you ended up sizing down? I'm normally a 39 (not wide) and wondering whether to order a 38.

@Stoic123 - get the 39! I tried both and the 38 wasn't comfortable

@faustina- thanks!

I follow a fab indie store in Dublin (my hometown) on Instagram. They started stocking Toast last season. They have posted a couple of things that are not on the Toast website yet, but which look 😍 - a yellow scarf and a green striped short sleeve sweater. Check them out - @scoutdesignstore.

If you go to their website, you can see some other things, including these yellow Alix:

Also love the look of these:

Those trousers are beautiful! Look at the price though!!!!

Which ones @faustina? The yellow Alix? I think the pricing may be weird because it is an Irish shop and you are seeing the price for non-eu customers. I suspect they will be less expensive direct from Toast (although not cheap, I’m sure!).

yes, sorry, the yellow Alix - my favourite colour! But you also saw green ones in your local store didn't you? Gosh I'd find it hard to choose between the two.. which would you go for Scottish?

The Alix works out at £222 (apparently) . Hoping they’re no than £175 (can’t believe I’m saying that) . The would be lovely for summer with navy/white etc. I’d probably prefer the green though think I’d get more wear out of them.

Those are the yellowy Alix I saw the other day in London, one of the things to come this next week I think. I did also see a picture of those blue check trousers.

Although there were comments the yellow (brass) pinafore was not yellow in real life.

On the screen it looks like an English mustard colour

i’d prefer the green @faustina. The yellow looks like it needs to be seen in person, could be just the wrong shade for me. But would look great with navy in the summer alright @Countmeout.

The green would probably be more versatile. Really like the yellow though!

This is where online shopping is a pain. Ideally you’d like to try both colours in two sizes. But it means putting a right whack onto a card all at once. Always makes me nervous.

Totally agree @Countmeout.

Yes definitely agree re: online shopping, and this is when I will miss Toast being at JL the most - being able to go and try lots of different styles and sizes easily.

This is my Toast life today - a country walk wearing my new Japanese socks with my walking boots, and my most-worn Toast dress of the season 😊

Am the happy owner of the new striped navy trousers; gorgeous colours and nicely flappy.

Saurus I love that dress! Watching one on eBay at the moment.

@mizu it’s been such an amazing buy, I seem to have worn it at least once a week since I bought it.
