Does anyone have the organic denim jacket which I've just ordered in a rather optimistically small size? It does say it's oversized - and if they reduce their prices again tomorrow I will haggle with them

Can I recommend something (again) that is very toast but not Toast? I ordered the dark coral one yesterday - you know sometimes a big scarf is just too big?www.scarletknitwear.co.uk/product-page/dark-coral-extra-soft-neckerchief

@faustina , that looks really useful! Have you tried them before, the scarves or the company? Just wondering what they're like irl?

faustina · 09/01/2023 06:41

@dudsville - no. I saw someone on Instagram wearing one ages ago (irish girl in Glasgow) and the other day I was looking for something small like a bandana but warmer, and I remembered it. It seems like a really nice little company. She hand makes them to order. Beautiful colours too, and not expensive

Do people think prices are likely to chance today? Noticed that last year it was 6th jan so they are a bit late with it! I imagine due to the post.

I would hope so, although I notice some of the things I was interested have sold out. Perhaps there will be more returns as well.

The first of my orders from 29th finally arrived. Gabi trousers in what is described as terracotta. Has anyone got this colour and if so what are you wearing them with? My natural inclination would be a black jumper but I don’t think I have one any more as I am finding black a bit draining.
The fit is the same as last year’s concrete. Shorter and very slightly neater than the pear ones from this year.

@Countmeout I don’t have them but I do have a few pairs of toast orangey trousers- I’d wear blue/black/white and also lilac looks really cool with orange shades. Brown could also work. I’d avoid green/yellow/reds.

Snowyowl78 · 09/01/2023 13:58

Prices have reduced a bit- reordered the sketch leaf print dress as it’s dropped by £20, bit peeved that the half sleeve sweaters have reduced since I have removed the labels and worn!

Countmeout · 09/01/2023 14:16

Thanks @Snowyowl78 some good suggestions to think about. I’ll keep them anyhow as it was a decent reduction.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 09/01/2023 14:21

@Snowyowl78 I went on chat about the Sketched leaf dress and they’ve agreed to refund the difference.

I have ordered the linen draped utility dress in blue as that has reduced. I wasn’t too sure about the size as the reviews said it was quite neat on top, so I’ve ordered my normal high street 12. Now I’m wondering whether I should have ordered the green as I have a lot of blue dresses in my wardrobe🤔.

Countmeout · 09/01/2023 14:23

Just had a quick sweep round the further reductions but nothing really needed.

This www.toa.st/collections/sale/products/kantha-check-padded-jacket-midnight-ecru is absolutely beautiful in the flesh. I saw it when I was in a real life shop. However I don’t need another jacket. And am spent out.

Two tees that I bought at the start of the sale -so now out of the return date- have now reduced further , but nothing else (that's in stock anyway). Hey ho ..

None of the trousers seem to have reduced - I am really surprised that the grey tracksuit type tops and bottoms ones haven't been, they seem so very overpriced. Also nightwear .. some of those things have been around in two or three sales now

Snowyowl78 · 09/01/2023 14:38

@Theteapotsbrokenspout ooh how long ago did you get the leaf dress?

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 09/01/2023 14:45

@Snowyowl78 I ordered before Christmas but it didn’t arrive until 28th. I checked in the returns section and it was still in the return period.

Stoic123 · 09/01/2023 14:51

I can recommend the tie neck shirt in slate - It's much nicer than it looks online and is a really good price at further reduced £55.

Snowyowl78 · 09/01/2023 15:01

@Theteapotsbrokenspout oh that’s good customer service :)

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 09/01/2023 15:04

Has anyone got the cotton linen workwear shirt in olive? I’m wondering how it works on a busty shape? I’d normally order in a 10 to get a good fit on the shoulders, but I won’t bother if it’s going to be another shirt that pulls across the bust.

ToastCosILoveIt · 09/01/2023 15:14

@Stoic123 , that shirt has been in and out of my basket. Did you size down (I was planning to)?

Snowyowl78 · 09/01/2023 15:16

I was holding out for the tie dye scarf but it’s still really expensive. It is part cashmere I suppose

MiracleToast · 09/01/2023 15:18

ooh Toasties, thank you for alerting of reductions. I have ordered the Botanical block print gown which I tried on in store back in autumn. Could have held out to see if it went down even further as still fully stocked but decided to just go for it. I’m surprised by what has been reduced and what hasn’t. Perhaps still more to come.

OftenOrange · 09/01/2023 15:19

The price reductions aren’t exciting, the only things further reduced that tempt. me are the Painted Check strappy dress (,but I have the top in same fabric ) and the. Trailing Ikat Skirt . The skirt looks pretty , but the colours don’t look easy to tone with my clothes , which are mainly in the olive/ orange range.
If anyone has that skirt I’d appreciate your feedback.

Stoic123 · 09/01/2023 15:22

@ToastCosILoveIt - sized down 1 size from RL (14 to a 12). Wouldn't do more as reasonably neat across shoulders.

ToastCosILoveIt · 09/01/2023 16:06

Thank you @Stoic123

MsCFlower · 09/01/2023 16:14

Very disappointing further reductions. Just wonder how they are able to stay in business when you compare their prices and sale reductions to other similar companies.

Stoic123 · 09/01/2023 16:29

@Countmeout - I think that kantha jacket is beautiful too but all spent out and also too many jackets. Maybe one for a future sale if still available.

Today I am wearing the Toast Cherry Red Embroidered Wrap jacket (with loopback Ercu trousers), from a previous season, to cheer me up - and it's working.
