Toastie warm in deep winter.

New thread

I didn't get on with it but I think there is a lot of love for it @Snowyowl78 . I didn't find it any more voluminous than usual for the style.

And on that note, I was given the brown belt for christmas, which I wanted for my dresses of this style to give me more options, and it's perfect! It's a dated look though isn't it, and seems somehow a little more dressy, so i need to have a think about it.

I've got one from last season. Same shape, different print. I really like the shape. I've sized up as the 10 is a little too snug across the chest. It may be too volumous everywhere else though!

Parcel - the Sketched Leaf dress - arrived. Looks very brown, not sure if it’s going to be my colour, will endeavour to try it on later.

I bought a checked dress in the archive sale @HeyHeyer . I toned it down with a navy sweater over the top. It also seems to look good with my navy workwear jacket for warmer weather but I know what you mean about it being very checked. I’m thinking of letting mine down an inch as I feel it’s slightly a slightly frumpy length. It has a good hem.

Im not waiting on anything more from Toast. I have an And Other Stories parcel coming with a black jacket which is a gap in my wardrobe but not holding out much hope for it.
My daughter bought me one of the beautiful cashmere/wool wrap scarves from Toast for Christmas . This one is navy. I have a pumpkin coloured one . I get so much wear out of it. I think it has been my best present ever.

So checked dress arrived. Totally different material from.previous year.
Despite sizing up, still gaping at the bust. Think it must be button placement. I have this a lot.
It's very annoying.
Anyhow, dress is a bit dissapointing. I'm underwhelmed by it
It's quite large on shoulders.
Will do a proper try on later.

That’s a shame @neveradullmoment99 , I quite often get a gaping issue with shirt dresses as I’m busty. Although I’ve got quite a few Toast shirts that are a really good fit for my narrow shoulders and big bust, obviously a different cut.

That’s a pity @neveradullmoment99 . I find things with a button front difficult too. It would help if sizing was consistent.

I am stupid. Forgot I have a jumper coming. Royal Mail has reminded me 🤦‍♀️

Thanks for info on the plum dress :)

@neveradullmoment99 which checked one is that?

@TempleofZoom Yes, it is Toast. Probably a few years old though - I bought it on either Vinted or eBay so not sure.

Thanks for all the suggestions for breaking up the check - I was going to have a sort out and try a few bits on with it but I've been struck down by a lurgy of some kind so that'll have to wait! I do love the dress so realistically I'll probably just make myself wear it more, as suggested above.

That's a shame about your checked dress @neveradullmoment99 - which one was it?

My return by Inpost was refunded today, posted last Wednesday, so I guess that wasn't too bad for over Christmas.

Thats great @Theteapotsbrokenspout , we dont have inpost here, but I have always found ( apart from when they had problems changing over to the new website last year) that they are very fast.. Good to know that inpost works though!
I have one refund due but I only dropped it off at the post office on 24th so it wont have gone until the 27th..

I have the stack check trousers, the green almond neck top ( having already worn the beetroot one three times with flannel pj bottoms as loungewear and its so great...) The blue Emma tee, Tretorn boots (and then having resisted them in the last two sales) . last minute Fomo made me buy the Ogee trousers as they had almost sold out 🤦‍♀️ !) And this is someone who already bought the beetroot top, 2 striped Francis tees and the striped Emma and who literally needs nothing.. 🙄

... ever again 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

My two sale dresses have been dispatched, I have no idea how long they will take to arrive. My returns have also been received (but not processed) - dropped these at the post office on the 23rd which I don't think is too bad.

Other that some Toast vouchers for Christmas I also received an apron (the linen workwear in tobacco leaf - it is gorgeous!) and an oil burner. I am likely to buy the Jeans belt with the vouchers, was debating putting towards a nice cardigan but I still don't trust the Terrier in my username not to ruin it!

Thank you!
I much prefer the fit so thought it was a few years ago before everything became tent like.

FYI- some toast stuff is discounted here

On way back from a 3 day trip to London and bought a coat in 'and other stories' !!

Still haven't sold the COS one though which I need to do to justify buying this one. Will see if I can attach a picture.

On another note no email yet to let me know my sale purchases are on the way ...... green Tretorn boots now all sold out so really hoping the smaller size will fit.

That's a very nice coat Mizu. I'm waiting for them to restock the sale and perhaps also add more things and further reductions? Can't remember how long it is before they do that

I've had despatch emails for all my remaining three orders so hopefully will receive them in time to return the first two jumpers before the returns period is up (if you see what I mean). I'm going to keep one jumper but have to choose between three - and then a couple of t-shirts and possibly the alixes. the t-shirts will have to be very special to keep though

Thank you for the link @Snowyowl78 - I wonder if they will eventually do John lewis style discounts ?

I wonder if that's a nod to any potential additions to the toast sale @Snowyowl78 . I am interested in the barrel leg cords but they're need to go lower than that for me.

@TerrierOrTerror , I bought the wool blanket that's in this sale and am trying to keep my dog from going near it for similar fears!

Pleased to hear someone else got the stack check trousers @Laska2Meryls, i haven't actually worn mine yet but i love the fabric.

I'm currently wearing the kind of rust and pink check pjs. I love them v v v v much.

Which teeshirts have you ordered @faustina ?

The boatneck tee in dark navy and the round neck collar tee in carbon. Toast tshirts are very unpredictable though - both sizing and style, so I'm not holding out huge hope

Fingers crossed for your blanket safety @dudsville ! I once had a cat who nibbled loads of little holes in a Toast duvet cover

Their tshirts are so unpredictable, perfect summary!

I've spent the last several days not buying any of the white-ish sale trousers. I don't wear white trousers/skirts out of fear. But i like the look of them...

Do we think anything will be added to the sale?? It's my birthday today so it will be a good day for it as I can guilt free order a few things (that will probably go back!)
Most of the things I have ordered so far I will be sending back. The apple cardigan is too short, the tretorn boots are enormous, and none of the dresses looked good. I have held onto the green Alix as I love them even though I definitely don't need any more trousers.
I am also waiting on a few things to arrive. It all seems very erratic when my parcels arrive!

Last year they added new styles on the 30th @AFingerofFudge , so maybe hold out until tomorrow?
Happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely day.
