Toasties counting down to Sale Day.

[ilovecherries]

New thread as we wait eagerly for the next sale :)

Oh that isn't the same as mine @Snowyowl78 , mine is the Flotsam print one from last season .. That one probably would look good with orange dye.. As its viscose it should take ok .. Be brave! (No responsibility taken for dye advice !!🤣) .

I dont think that the Cleo tee is any different apart from the stonking price.. I certainly will not buy it at its current £80 ..

This is the Flotsam dress , it may come back in the next sale,.. It didnt look very promising in their photoshoot, I thought , but its surprisingly lovely irl ( but huge.. I sized right down to a S!).

How I wish that I had it with me on this van trip.. I packed for 'variable northern European weather ' but not for a heatwave.. Lots of lovely Toast jumpers jeans and tees.. but only one pair of shorts and no dresses except the peaks print that I wore to the wedding.. in the last few days its I have been wearing and washing through a couple of M&S tshirt nighties and wearing them as dresses on site.. ( luckily they are fairly plain, and no one knows me here!🤣)

With that Flotsam dress ( jic it does reappear in the sale) I found that you need to adjust the ties on the shoulder from the neck out.. Then if you slightly altered the waist tie , by making it softly gathered then sewing the tie end in place to stop it moving it looks good

Ah yes @Laska2Meryls theyre pretty similar in material and print aren’t they.

sorry to hear about your heatwave! I’m sure you look fine in your nighties!

I feel for you@Laska2Meryls , it sounds like an amazing holiday but it's an annoyance and discomfort to not have the right clothes.

Here, i didn't anticipate the drop on temp to be accompanied by humidity so I switched planned outfit to toast landgirly chinos bought before lockdown, as such they're a little more fitted, withe matching arizonas and that paper thin blue check raglan. I feel dully dressed but that even dressed down it still gives my confidence a boost.

I did think of buying something but tbh , I dont want to buy a random dress just because its hot and that I may never wear again , when I have so many lovely suitable things at home .. Anyway we are back on Wednesday , so I am managing. Toast tee and shorts today for cycling into Delft and nightie/t dress for later on camp ! Its so hot that I can wash out and dry shorts etc in a very short time and wear again tomorrow and luckily I did pack several Emma tees ( nearly didnt, it
didnt look promising when we left 5 weeks ago so also have long sleeve ones)..

My Molloy scarf has arrived. It’s very orange. Fortunately I like orange (thanks for the dying love btw) I think it may be lovely with the linen dress in the same shades which I do not have. But will brighten other things too. The weave is slightly different from the yellow one, it is a larger check and maybe has the appearance of less depth.

Oh and wearing today the yellow triangle dress , one of my absolute favourites , lovely cool cotton. (Also known here as the dress with tortilla crisps on it) not as loose as I would like currently but hey ho, put on a soft bralette thing which helps.

@Laska2Meryls I really wanted the long flotsam dress last sale as I love the colours, but I could never catch it in a small. You have reminded me to watch out for it in the next sale, (together with the painted check dress that I had to send back, reluctantly, as too big).

I tried on the shorter, more fitted similar one, in the SM outlet but the sizing was all wrong on me and no smaller size to try🙃

Wearing the Tala today.

The panelled denim trousers have just been delivered in a small and a medium. I'll report back on sizing.

I didn't realise how much the tala looked a bit graphic arty, that's nice!

It's a lovely dress. I also have the pesto version. They come up big, I am in a 10. They're my holiday dresses (although I'm not in holiday now, just hot).

That's a lovely dress

I almost bought a shirt and sleeveless jumper today on Vinted . Too slow 10 mins it was gone . Showed Dh and he thought I'd look like a clown !

I like that top but for the collar for the same reason as your dh!

Are we thinking tomorrow's the earliest for a sale start. I shall sleep with a mushroom and arty twig under my pillow!

@triggers34 - I have the tank top and love it. Today I have been wearing a summer sale dress from last year - lovely and cool can’t remember what it is called!

It's a lovey tank top they both went for £30 😱. New seller must have been caught out by the Vinted algo that encourages a low price .

@Popplebop you are wearing the painted dress that I wanted last proper sale! I am suffering extreme dress envy🤣

It’s the painted check dress @Popplebop. I want one 🙃

That's such a lovely print @Popplebop! Also the Tala print. I hope it does start tomorrow - will keep an eagle eye out for the first one to spot it

I really hope that it doesn't ! (fingers crossed for Weds evening for Kindred and Thurs main sale as tomorrow I will be on the ferry and and off the net ....

I've tried that painted check dress twice, once was too big and the second wasn't fulfilled, so i share in the dress envy!
These were my two outfits today, the blue i liked better but it was too humid for it, the second is my dull outfit!

I am hopeful though that it wont be tomorrow because previous sales have been a Thursday start.. I always say there's nothing much that I want - until I see the sale !!🤣 .
If it is then sadly north sea ferries dont have internet.. ( well they do sort of but it costs and as its maritime , it isnt that reliable a connection)...

I love both of those outfits, @dudsville . The two tops are ones that I would like to have bought

@Popplebop
I want your username. Can’t stop saying it ! One of my children just gave me a funny look
