Finally, they've posted that the sale ends in 2 days. I'm so glad. I was beginning to wonder what it would be like for them to have a permanent sale section like some do, and how we would never know when to look so would have to be constantly checking, like some kind of neurotic love hate relationship.

Thank goodness. I don’t know what is worse, the sale that lasts just a weekend or this one going on on for what seems like forever.

I posted quickly yesterday, but I ordered the landscape dress and shirt. Had to guess the XS/S/M sizing which I hate doing so we'll see if either fit.

Also ordered the Solovair Jade Derby boots. Not sure if they will fit as my feet are notoriously difficult.

It has gone on forever!
I ordered the solovair forest boots!
Just did it this morning. To be fair, I don't have brown boots. Hoping the work with dresses and trousers.
I'm a 6.5. Hoping they fit in a 6.

I shall be glad not to have to return so many parcels :) where does it say it ends in 2 days?

I’ve loved it, it’s been the best Toast sale ever, as far as I am concerned. I’ve stocked up on napkins and enamel plates, plus Japanese incense, a couple of denim dresses and three Fair Isle jumpers, as well as a winter parka and Fracap boots. I’m NOT going back in, though! 😅

AFingerofFudge · 26/01/2023 11:03

It's the gift that keeps on giving Grin

Honestly I have ordered so many things, returned so many things and have almost lost count of the back and forth. Now tempted to do the "this time it is the last hurrah" order!

AFingerofFudge · 26/01/2023 11:07

Annoyingly, DH is out all day today and I have nothing arriving (I have a day off work). Tomorrow, when I am at work, there are 3 parcels arriving (I panicked when all the new stuff came in and bought stuff as I saw it in separate orders) and guess who will be there to receive them? DH! That was not very well timed.

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 11:36

oooh @SmaugMum what was your parka like? A success?

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 11:44

I was holding out for the Kantha jacket because I tried the medium and it was a bit big/too boxy so thought I’d try the small. Probably too late now though as it’s out of stock. I’d also like to try those Teardrop red pyjamas, but since I already have my last saloon order coming tomorrow I should probably stop being silly.

oooh @SmaugMum what was your parka like? A success?

Hugely so! It was literally delivered right after my last post. I love it and I even think it would have deserved its original £495 price tag. I plan to wear it on my school pick up today which will be the next time I’m going out. I always know I’m on to a winner when a Toast package arrives and I want to put the garment straight on. I was havering between the olive and the hickory but I’m pleased that I opted for the green as it is so striking. (I just hope that it will be dark enough to hide the dirt as it is dry clean only and I will not be doing that regularly.)

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 11:57

@SmaugMum oh wow, that is a success! I am pleased to hear!

now I want it.

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 12:01

@SmaugMum how did you find the sizing?

SmaugMum · 26/01/2023 12:57

I’m typically a size 10 in Toast but I do have swimmer’s shoulders so I sized up to a 12 and it’s not massive. I like parkas to be slightly oversized (that Quadrophenia look) and there is an adjustable drawstring at the waist. What I really like about this parka, which will replace one I had about six or seven years ago, is that the lining is dark whereas the previous model had light-coloured lining and the rub-off from all my Toast indigo and denim was terrible and also embarrassing if I had to remove my coat in public as I’m sure people assumed it was dirt rather than dye!

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 13:05

Thanks @SmaugMum sounds perfect!

Snowyowl78 · 26/01/2023 13:06

There’s a toast live on!

othgraph · 26/01/2023 13:28

Anyone have the Mariner Hemp Cotton Trousers that could advise on sizing? Is it true to size or do you need to size down?

Missed the start but will watch it all later. It showed the judo jacket!

The jacket looked nice on her when she tried it on!

I really liked those trousers on her.

Blossomtoes · 26/01/2023 16:06

However nice the judo jacket looks - and I think it does - it’s an insane price for calico.

neveradullmoment99 · 26/01/2023 16:27

Agreed! Ridiculous prices for lots of things.

This is how it happens isn't, I looked it up too after this post!

I also regret not getting the boat neck tees @Saurus72, they look really useful. I usually start a sale trying to get the items that seem more special, and then at the end realise that some of the things like those tees are really good basics - note to future self!

I've also ended up doing a number of seperate purchases and feel similarly
@AFingerofFudge I just checked my emails and there are 7, all because things appeared in one size and then another and then I'd get angsty!

Today I recieved the pleated cords in firewood and acorn. The colours depicted on the website are really off. The firewood looks more "salmon in a dim light", and the acorn looks more like ... dirty butter, creamy maple?? Hard to say. They fit nicely and are really comfortable and it feels like a nice light cord at £60. I also got the bitter chocolate fair isle in a size up from my first attempt, and I really like it!

Today I wore the indigo denim wrap skirt, which I thought was a great purchase at £75, although I haven't worn a proper wrap thing in a while and forgot how they tend to fall open so I might stitch it up!

neveradullmoment99 · 26/01/2023 17:03

I never buy wrap things as this is my fear. Especially on a windy day!

neveradullmoment99 · 26/01/2023 17:03

Oh and I looked it up to, then ended up looking at other things and ordered the blue cord skirt fgs!

neveradullmoment99 · 26/01/2023 17:04

Toast sale ends today?
It says 1 day so I am assuming so.
