Similar vibe with this top which I can only find a picture of with these trousers. I rather like it

and if we’re all sitting down look at the price of this

Or maybe I’d look as if I was off to judo 🙄

@Snowyowl78 I really like this too. Problematic for me however as I frequent the bathroom much too much for jumpsuits.

MiracleToast · 11/01/2023 19:25

@Countmeout I LOVE that judo-esque wrap top. Good find.

ToastCosILoveIt · 11/01/2023 19:58

Ooh, love this (and the green one posted upthread) - www.toa.st/collections/womens-dresses/products/colour-block-organic-poplin-dress-red-cedar

Good description , the armholes are wide so that it looks relaxed . It isn’t super long nor wide and swingy like the plainer Donegal that didn’t go into the sale.
I took my usual S and like the neatness , but wouldn’t want it any smaller .
If you’re between sizes maybe go more generous .

I'm a 10 in Toast dresses and RL size 12 and the M is a comfortable fit on me.

faustina · 11/01/2023 20:10

That jumpsuit looks great on the model, but I did think 'straightjacket' when I saw the first pic

There are some nice new clogs online too

The denim jacket I ordered has been despatched! I was beginning to think it might be cancelled, so that's nice, and my lambswool neckerchief has arrived and is beautiful! I will take a pic tomorrow when it's light. I could really have done with that today - was in the City (of London) and had forgotten how windy it gets with all the tall buildings

neveradullmoment99 · 11/01/2023 20:20

It is totally something I would wear! Im not keen for how it is shown in the cut out but I love it on the model.

MiracleToast · 11/01/2023 21:25

Does anyone know what these shoes are?

Does anyone know what these shoes are?

I think they’re called Hereu Alber loafers?

Sorry that’s for @MiracleToast

OP posts:
SmaugMum · 11/01/2023 21:56

Sorry, my correction, Hereu Alber Sport.

MiracleToast · 11/01/2023 22:27

Thank you thank you @SmaugMum and @Countmeout

I must have missed them on Toast

MsCFlower · 12/01/2023 05:48

I have succumbed to trying the landscape check dress as a medium has become available. I love the fabric so much so maybe with the right styling I can get it to work for me.

Snowyowl78 · 12/01/2023 06:48

@neveradullmoment99 thats exciting, I like it too but I’m not sure the shape would suit me. Are you going to order it?

I think these are new Alix? I like them but am not allowed them as I have quite the collection after this sale round!

Countmeout · 12/01/2023 07:34

I think that’s quite a wintery colour @Snowyowl78 . Although winter does go on a bit I suppose. Price thankfully is ok-ish.

I’m looking forward to hearing about your scarf @faustina . I like a wee scarf . I have a couple of Laura Ashley scarves just maybe slightly bigger than that which are useful still - originally circa 1992. I’m interested to see if you find it itchy. Her hot water bottle covers look lovely too.

Will sale disappear today?
Also does anyone know if Kindred can see the video if you’re not able to watch live?

faustina · 12/01/2023 07:48

There's a lot of darkish green in the new stuff - green clogs, a green Bleu de Chauffe bag (in a style I plan to buy but not green). It doesn't shout spring does it?
can't we see the video anyway? I think that's what it says on the bottom of that email. It's usually on FB and Insta

ilovecherries · 12/01/2023 08:31

Thanks MrsCat, that’s helpful re the alterations. I think possibly alterations aren’t going to work. I do value the skill and expertise of the seamstress, but at the same time feel I need to be realistic about alteration cost vs resale value if I were to sell them instead. There are a couple of dresses that would be worth more to me to alter but they both need armholes and smaller bust adjustments too. I took them into the place I usually go to, and she wouldn’t give me a quote which made me a bit nervous, I don’t want to be writing a blank cheque, but I don’t know if that’s normal - I’ve only had off-list alterations done before so I always know what it will cost.

dudsville · 12/01/2023 10:21

I can't find upthread the folks involved in the chat about wearing the orangey shade of trousers. I've got this on and i think it works? Poor light, but that's the pear alpaca wool sweater.

Also, the blouson sleeve check coal/ochre shirt arrived today. It's so different irl. I haven't tried it on yet but it is not as screemingly yellow as it seems on the website, so also posting a pic of that as its £50 now.

dudsville · 12/01/2023 10:24

Wouldn't let me post both

@neveradullmoment99 that's a lovely dress.

Not for now. I do love it but I've spent way too much in the sale for now.
I've also made a promise not to buy Toast except for sales. I.may succumb to it though!
The onlynthing I'm.not fussed for, is thr crinkly material. Might be clingy!

TerrierOrTerror · 12/01/2023 10:55

I made one final order from the sale last night - the tie neck cord shirt. My Olive Check dress in the larger size has a lot so just arrived so I'll try that on this evening.

I am a green fan so happy with the new colours, but not some of the prices. Other than basics though I am currently very happy with my wardrobe so as long as my size stays constant this year I am going to try and have more of a low-buu year!
