Toasties:- Spring frocks and socks?

[Laska2Meryls]

Here we are again, and this time looking forward to the warmer weather , putting away our comfy woolies ( and new season's dresses).

Everyone welcome ..

@MiracleToast - my oil burner has been fine but I don't use it very often so it's not been really tested.

I'm wearing Toast for a relaxed weekend- flat fronted denim trousers and the charcoal loopback top.

I bought the Easy Tee (in Coal) and Space Check Shorts (to wear together). I like them both but am going to mull over a bit/try on a few times before I make a final decision to keep. Fingers have been burnt.

I bought a lovely linen dress from Muji of all places today. Fabric seems to be good quality, dress also has pockets! It’s similar to Toast oversizing - I hope I’ve made the right decision with the medium. I could have bought the small however I plan to wear it with the sleeves rolled up with a thin tan belt to give me some shape and when I tried belting the small in the shop the pockets stuck out a bit. V reasonable pricing too. https://www.muji.eu/uk/product/linen-long-sleeve-dress-17444

I kept the medium in the fenugreek, I decided the waist was slightly more comfortable and they hung better on me. So the small will be winging their way back to Toast once the post office is open (rural area, no PO on Saturdays and a bit hit and miss in the week).

I was thinking about adding the Mauna Kea socks to my next order so glad to hear they are fabulous .

Ive got a pair of khaki dr martens oxfords and they look fab together!

@Stoic123 and @dudsville really disappointing as love it. Will probably send an email as that’s twice—I was so precious with it as well.

@Stoic123 i have both of those! I bought the space check shorts late in the summer after refusing to buy them due to price and buying 2 pairs from elsewhere. The I finally bought them and realised that was what I should have bought in the first place. So comfortable. They are massive though, I have the small, which is silly.

@Saurus72 Muji is great for linen , glad you found a nice dress.
It washes brilliantly too, I’ve a white baggy top which is every bit as nice as Toast and cost about a quarter the amount.
I tried on the wide linen culottes with a pretty cotton short sleeved top , the top will look good tucked into the Toast balloon trousers I think.
However Muji doesn’t do colour like Toast …..
@Stoic123 I was also dithering on keeping Space check , but balloon trousers , because of the fact I only like theme with black or white . I’ve kept them because I think they look so nice on.
I spend Summer in a hot place so now I’m thinking the shorts may be really useful too .

@Snowyowl78 - think might have been resized this year. I'm deciding between the medium and large in the shorts (both fit but slightly different look). Last summer I bought the Small Space Check trousers and a Small is generous on me (I'm a size 14).

@OftenOrange - the material is lovely.

I bought a duvet cover and pillowcases in the sale, it’s the ecru cotton with a red stripe.
I’ve been using White company and old French linen stuff in pure white for years , so no issues with combining there.
Those who have similar sets from Toast , what sort of bottom sheet do you use with it ?
I’m in two minds about keeping it because of the matchy thing !

@Stoic123 Yes the space check material is what I can only describe as ‘superior’ !
I wear shorts for hiking mostly , I’m thinking the set you mentioned would be really good ,however my very thin legs look awful in some shorts, it’s a combination of length and width than can make or break the look.
I love my Cos elastic waist numbers from 2 years back,no longer available. But I feel like a grackle using them for hiding as they’re white.

@OftenOrange I have the red / pink stripe duvet cover and love it. I often use my striped fitted sheet which is the slate stripe with it. I quite like!

@OftenOrange i also have the red stripe and pair with the pink ticking stripe. Love!

@OftenOrange - I like to mix the red stripe with the pink ticking - it's also nice with white linen and cotton too. At the moment I have the pink ticking bolster, the red stripe pillowcases, a white cotton fitted sheet, the pink ticking flat sheet and a white Irish linen duvet cover

@MiracleToast @faustina Many thanks for the pairings on the bed linen, I shall need to get onto the Toast bedroom look now I’ve dipped a toe.

I have just spent some birthday money and vouchers.
On their way
The Sally Lacock

Oops
The seed shell earrings, the gingham dress, the panelled linen dress in slate and the seamless wool cashmere jumper in pebble.
Bit of a splurge !
Will report back

How exciting, and happy birthday @TempleofZoom !!!!

Thanks @dudsville
Birthday was a while back but I have been happily pondering choices 😊

@TempleofZoom - belated Happy Birthday!

I have the panelled linen dress and really like it. Material is great. Very plain but comes alive with a scarf, jacket or necklace (so do play around if you like the cut but not wowed immediately).

Thank you!
Yes I have the sleeveless linen dress from last year and it's basic but beautifully cut so fingers crossed.

toasty discount here, they don’t have everything but they do have some new bits

@Snowyowl78 - that's so strange! The first time I clocked on your link, everything was discounted, but the second time it was just a few things from last season - everything else full price!

@faustina thats odd, same for me now!

@faustina the Sideline stuff is still discounted, but the Toast discounts have disappeared! Maybe Toast told them off!

And the panelled dress in dhal is loads more expensive than Toast (£295).
