Toastie warm in deep winter.

New thread

I think @ilovecherries does. I may be wrong. Ive always wanted these but they have been continually out of stock. Now i'm tempted!

Ive had a loop jersey top before and I wouldnt say it is that soft. It kind of has a rough inner texture. These may be different though?

Hi, sorry to crash your thread, but I'm going to be in Shepton Mallet area tomorrow and wanted to ask if the Toast outlet there is worth a look? As in, proper reductions (and all the lovely velvet/cord stuff in stock), not a few quid off? Thanks :).

Hmmm, I see what you mean @neveradullmoment99 I hadn’t looked at the size conversions. But I would say I am a standard high street 12, so s/m is spot on for me.

@Saurus72 - I have those trousers in Ecru.

Good points - material is soft enought to be comfortable but robust enough to withstand positions on knees etc. Also not restrictive.

Bad points- depends how gentle a session. Legs would flap around quite a bit/get in the way if leg is raised at all. I would probably find this quite irritating.

@Saurus72 - I use these and would pick them in preference to my Toast jersey ones.

@ZittiEBuoni I’ve been twice to the outlet - on my first visit I didn’t buy anything and on my 2nd I bought a dress that I regret! There are decent reductions, there are also some samples. For me, I find that if it’s in the outlet, it’s already been in the sale and so I either already have it or I haven’t bought it in which case I most likely don’t need it.

I know others on this thread have had successful trips though.

Thanks for the feedback on the trousers - @Stoic123 the ones you linked to look delicious 😊

Ah, ok, thanks Saurus72, probably nothing I haven't already seen in the sale then. Might not bother this time around (busy day anyway).

it will be interesting to see how the sizing pans out. My daughter was interested a a couple of items when we were in a shop but she wears a 4-6 and everything would have drowned her. I’m sorry the new items hadn’t appeared then.
Some of the dresses @neveradullmoment99 come in separate sizes 4-18. I suppose that might be a bit bettter.

Did anyone see Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas the other night? Someone taking part was wearing the Toast textured marl tank in green and a possibly mul mul shirt, not this years I think but the one with the red trim. I wondered if it was any of you. She made beautiful Christmas decorations.

@ZittiEBuoni ive been twice and enjoyed my trips, they have a mix of current season on one side of the shop and then sale and sample on the other. I bought some homewear sample napkins for £5 each which were a great find, and some sale clothing bits which I haven’t worn much yet but mainly because it was the end of summer. They had quite a lot of samples in nightwear which I considered but then didn’t buy as I don’t really wear gowns etc. I would say it’s worth it for the samples but they are mainly small sizes. That said I don’t know if they always have that many sample or if it’s seasonal.

I also got over excited and spent a small fortune on the current season. Was good to try on stuff as normally I only buy on line. Is pretty chilled there and parking is easy so would probably be my preferred shop anyway, albeit they probably don’t have a bigger range of current season as they would have in a normal shop.

I have them, and don’t see why not. They are quite big though. Mine are a small, and I am not. Every time I wear them, I mutter ‘ridiculous price for a pair of cropped trackie bottoms’ but I have worn them loads (got mine during lockdown) and love them.

Thanks for the new thread @@Countmeout 😀

Thanks @ilovecherries , will wait to see if they go into the sale…

I was taking a look on Toast last night and musing. Firstly, "window shopping" is a new phenomenon for me of this year, when I used to shop at cheaper shops i would actually make purchases. Every new year i sit down and go over the previous year's accounts. I expect to see a change.

I plan to buy the workwear denim skirt this year if it doesn't go into the next sale. I also like a few new things, but most would need a 50+% discount for me to contemplate purchasing. On the flip side, I've noticed that there's only one purchase this year that doesn't get the use i thought it would, so I'm pleased with the choices I've made this year overall.

I've just dug out my Pintuck textured skirt from last years December sale, its been ideal to wear today with a pair of thin leggings and some sheepskin boots.

Looking through my Toast purchases, the only thing I haven't worn is a white shirt, which is really annoying as I had wanted a decent white shirt for a long time .
I also have a couple of Vinted purchases that are out-of-season so haven't been worn.

I do, however, have several pieces that I've only worn once; assuming we do have a sale soon I think I must be a lot more thoughtful over what I buy.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout - is there something about the white shirt that you aren't keen on? I don't wear white shirts myself but the Kin ones always seem to have brilliant reviews - perhaps worth a look?

I've been much more considered in what I've bought from Toast this year, Partly because of the prices and partly because my wardrobe is so full! I really have very few gaps now.

I did buy something as an experiment today though - the mens cashmere has gone on sale at John Lewis and I bought a men's cardigan last year which has been wonderful for wearing at home - they have some nice looking Breton stripe jumpers so have ordered a s and m to try. it's so much better quality than the women's cashmere. Still £100, but worth it for something good.

It’s a great shirt @faustina I just don’t put it on because I think it will get marked, so I keep saving it for when I don’t think it will get marked, which appears to be never. I’m beginning to wonder why I ever wanted a white shirt.

I've also got a cream Barbour jumper which is subject to the same thought process .

@Theteapotsbrokenspout - savingitforbest syndrome! I'm trying very hard not to do that nowadays

Men's jumpers can be so much nicer than women's if they're right - funnily enough, there's a pic of a JL (male) stylist wearing it, and almost everything else he's wearing with it is from the women's dept.

Just wondering if some of the stuff on here has appeared on the Toast website already??? I would start my research but
I have to be up at 6am for work so I'll leave it to someone who is off

I had a white shirt thing this year. Thought i needed it for layering. Tried the toast easy one, didn't get on with it, bought a Thought one that was really fine but i never choose it. Turns out the toast off white or natural cotton tees do what i need for layering, but I've got the thought blouse for back up when i need a crisper look!

In other news, I'll never not be excited about and counting down to a sale. We could be 5 or 6 days away!

in case anyone is looking at toast blankets, I have discovered that most of them are by a company called Klippan, and sold considerably cheaper here:
nordicnest.com

and with more pics!

@Snowyowl78 - very useful link - thank you!

Tapping my foot waiting for the first person on the forum to find the secret sale has started. Mind you, the only thing I want that could be in the sale has sold out (wool cashmere mariner), and the other thing is brand new so won't be discounted (blundstone lug boots)

SALE!

Where? I dont have an email ..
