On we go Toasties heading for Spring???

[Countmeout]

Other one nearly full

Apparently the sale ends at midday tomorrow. Fortunately I'm working in the morning so will resist that last minute itch.

@dudsville ha!! "Salmon in a dim light" and "dirty butter" are descriptions i haven't yet seen on the Toast website

Oh dear the Kantha jacket got restocked in a small so I was forced to order it. As well as the tie dye scarf that I have been resisting because it’s still really expensive. I can’t believe that was originally £175, silly price!

although I did get one of those ‘we are receiving a lot of orders right now’ notices after, so wouldn’t surprise me if it’s gone already!

I’m planning a cold turkey on toast for February!

Curses, I’ve just done a last minute order of a white boy tee and two pairs of linen trousers. Think the tee will be great but the trousers are a total wildcard. I’m envisaging they could be for spring/summer wfh with a linen shirt. Nothing to lose (except £160 if I keep them all…).

I sat on my hands and then twitched - and bought the plum check dress. I am a disgrace.

I actually went back to the old thread to look at @Saurus72's photo (so thank you if it works out). So hard to tell exact colours from website.

I have the Tam to return - it was planned for a gift but doesn't sit on head as well as I hoped.

I also bought an ikat chair cushion when they did the big restock yesterday. Different budget pot from clothes so purchase is not at same level of disgrace. Will use to work at dining table (WFH) when fancy change from desk (dining chair slightly too low).

@Snowyowl78 - it's definitely cold turkey time.

It's totally a different budget! I've bought two blankets, no way would i put them on my clothing shopping count!

I did a last purchase this morning, the linen gingham dress briefly popped up in a large. It's probably too big, but the dress looks potentially like a feasible downsizing project.

Totally agree re: budget, I’ve got my eye on the grey striped bed linen from our house account.

I'm still dithering over that saphire heathery jumper! I haven't returned it yet as i thought I'd collect a few more packages and go tomorrow. I'm struggling with this in ways i haven't with other items. With other things that i admired on the site but decided not to keep I can look at them with an appreciation and know they're weren't right for me and move on. With this jumper it's simply that i couldn't find a way to wear it with my clothes. It's blue ffs, and while it isn't navy it doesn't seem such a stretch, and i do really like it the fit is good and the colour suits me... think I've just convinced myself.

I need to join the cold turkey sub-section of this thread, which isn't a problem as i don't buy outside sales. Shall we enjoy shopping our wardrobes and showing our outfits?

Aaargh I woke at 4am and ordered the painted check organic pinafore dress. I really love the retro pattern. So I gave four dresses arriving including the poplin patchwork shirt dress. Also a retro patter. I will make my final decisions when I have received them all.

@dudsville does it fit? I had that and I did send it back, but I would have kept it if I hadn’t have already bought one of the round cashmere jumpers already, and I have a second from eBay, that and the fact that I also have the blue yoke jumper from last year meant that I couldnt see that I would ever pick it.
I really liked the colour, but I ordered the L as I hate things tight, and it fitted in the body but the shoulders we set a bit too low making the sleeves long. It was also a bit itchy.
I could see how to style it though, I’d have thought it would go with any toast trousers I have really, and because it’s a little bit neater it will work well with more voluminous trousers too.
I think if you have other jumpers that serve the same purpose and you already have a blue jumper (or two!) send it back. If you Iove the colour and are looking forward to wearing it, keep it!

I am definitely planning cold turkey.

Although I am a bit in love with the blue jacket from the video and I figured if the Kantha jacket that’s coming doesn’t work and the brushed cotton trousers that are coming don’t work then I can use the money for that one instead!

then it’s definitely cold turkey and maybe some ebaying to recoup the insane sale spend this winter!

That's helpful @Snowyowl78 . I do not have a blue jumper, but will I ever choose it. I will have a trying on session later.

I miss read my diary, thought i had a 9 am mtg but I was wrong, so I nipped up to try it on with the acorn cords. I think this works and is very "me".

@MsCFlower Just wanted to say that irl the fabric of that dress is wonderful - a nice strudy cotton with a great print, and the shape looked nice both with and without the belt, and of course it has the obligatory great pockets. I think it's a great purchase at the sale price.

That's great to know @dudsville Looking forward to receiving it.

Despite saying I’d finished with the sale I got caught up in the flurry of returns and ordered the loopback jersey shirt in conker. It arrived today (with some soap at full price) and I really can’t decide whether it fits with my wardrobe or not.
It's nice and thick, which is what I wanted, but the medium is quite bulky at the top of the arms. I think a smaller size wouldn’t look right especially as it’s quite short in the body. Also the colour is a bit 🤔, it goes with a couple of things but I’m not sure what it look like with denim or black.
Has anyone got this and got any styling tips? I do quite like it with my terracotta cord gabis.

So the diamond block print cotton trousers have just arrived and they’re beautiful. Perfect for hot days and holidays. A real bonus as they were a complete impulse buy after someone mentioned that they were reduced to £35 and I was fully expecting to return them. I love blue and the cornflower colour is sublime. Thank you so much whoever drew my attention to them.

I need the sale to stop! I had restrained myself and not looked for the last couple of weeks but thought I would quickly look today before it ends… Ordered the broderie anglicise dress in slate, painted check pinafore dress and the parka in green. All items I had really wanted but couldn’t justify full price. I stopped there!! Couldn’t look at anything else it would bankrupt me.

Anglaise not anglicise 🤣 high speed typing

Love that jumper on you @dudsville

Sale has gone! Thank goodness now I can focus on life again

😂@AmethystMoonShine !
My last ( but one) sale order arrived, The heavy cotton roll neck top in blue and I am really pleased with it.. Glad that I read the reviews and sized up though as even in XL its not big...

I also received the full price cotton linen chambray shirt and I love it.. again for new sizes I went for the L where older one from last year in the same style was M

This will definitely be going on holiday with me.. We are off to Spain and Portugal in a week or so and luckily this time there wont be a sale on.. I remember one time we were away and the postie pointed out that the idea of post Keepsafe wasn't supposed to mean that it was ok for me to buy lots of Toast sa le items from the beach !! He had to deliver about 8 parcels all at once when we got back 😎

Thank goodness the sale has ended
its my birthday tomorrow and I know I’ve got Toast gift cards from my family
i hope there’s more new stuff to come

Happy birthday @Nanasueathome . Lovely to have gift card to spend. Hopefully you will find lots of things you like.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow @Nanasueathome - and happy birthday shopping with your gift cards!

That chambray shirt is on my list @Laska2Meryls - I was wondering about how wearable it would be outside of summer - how thin is the fabric? Also hoping it isn't too long?
