It’s been ages since I last posted on here but I continue to stalk the thread! I’m still mourning the loss of Toast @ John Lewis, especially the 70pc off bargains. I bought a LOT during lockdown and I did have pangs (that was autocorrected to ‘pants’!) of buyer’s remorse but now I’m glad as my Toast sale purchases will see me through the next few years. I’ve admitted to myself that I have been priced out of Toast now, apart from the odd sale find. The prices are simply mind boggling now.
Having said that, I have invested in the Solovair monkey boots in black as I live in a part of the world where boots are pretty standard from September to May! I love them - with one tiny gripe; the laces are exceptionally long.
Does anyone here wear Kemi Telford? It’s a new brand to me and I have bought a couple of skirts at 70pc off at JL (you can take the girl out of Yorkshire…). I bought the animal print skirt and a bold geometric print one, too, but the latter has been pilfered by DD1 (14) to wear with her platform DMs - and amazing she looks in it too. The skirts are brilliant and very Toast-like in their aesthetic but they are elasticated at the waist (not in a BHS way) so none of that ‘what size?’ drama. Also, they are fully lined and the fabric quality is on a par with Toast. I’ll attach some photos…
