Toasties exhale after the sale excitement and show off their lovely outfits

[ilovecherries]

Hello again! Thread 33 or something!

Oh yes, that is a lovely combo. I think on my height the legs were either too long by a smidge, or too short by a smidge. They raise the ‘did they shrink in the wash’ question rather than look intentional. I think because yours is slightly longer on you, they look ‘right’ again.

Very nice combo @ToastCosILoveIt - is that the round collared tee that has reappeared in the sale? I have it and love it!

Thinking about the clowns some more. Just why? Clown phobia is really quite common. And then a level down from phobia there are probably loads more like me who actively dislike them even though I can cope if I see one. But it can’t be aspirational for many. It’s like saying ‘our next theme will be spiders’. I just don’t get it.

I’ve just ordered the Hemp Mariners but I couldn’t work out sizing at all so I ordered in a 10 and 12. I’ve been thinking about them since the start of the sale but decided I didn’t really need any more trousers. However I’ve been tempted since seeing the pictures on here.

@ilovecherries 'Spiders' 😳please don’t give toast ideas 😂

Would be grateful to know the result of the washing. Mine are a fraction big and long.

I don’t think they actually mention clowns. It’s Everyday Theatre. The problem is those stripes and the frilled necks possibly remind people of clowns although stripes are probably meant to echo the tent.I still do think they are in danger of being blinded by their own theme and not considering what people want/ are willing to wear. Average Jo does not want to dress to a theme I assume.

I frequently have a quick juggle whilst on my unicycle, so the clothes in the look book are really speaking to me🤣

Seriously - I love some of the colours, but tent stripes and frilly colours are a no-no chez Dee!

Collars!!! Autocorrect strikes again!)

Cute outfit @ilovecherries !

Oh apologies I saw the clown face and misinterpreted!
Still not keen!

@Dee1224 , no, it is a tee shirt material bit with three cream buttons and an oversized collar which flairs out like two big triangles. They did it in navy too (and khaki I think). It is a super comfy top and was called the collared cotton linen tee (the label was still on until I put it on)in cumin (but I think of it as dhal).

Appreciating the hemp mariner love. I was seriously tempted by the matching jacket this am as they had it back in my size but resisted.

I got one of the clown-collared shirts in my first take on the present sale. I was unsure if I would like it, but loved the colours. And I fell in love when trying it on. Before that, I would have sworn that a clown collar would ever enter my wardrobe...

Think I've got a serious Toast sale problem.
On Toast sale page at 5.30am this morning, pre flight for work, grabbing a skirt.
All the time I'm in flight I'm thinking please don't reduce anything until I've cleared the airport and got WiFi.
Completely unprepared for meeting.
I'll be glad when this flipping sale has ended. 😝

There are a few of us with the awkward problem here @Architektin !

Should probably have written "never"...

@BettinaInDenmark I nabbed that in sale too. Oh its so beautifully soft and pretty.

@dudsville thank goodness, I felt sure I was safe here confessing 😅

Ah, yes@ToastCosILoveIt - i think I saw one in cream in the SM shop - regretted leaving it behind. Looks lovely with the trousers!

@dudsville that was me that mentioned the fairisle yoke sweater. Glad you like it. It is one of my favourite ever Toast buys, I have no idea how it didn’t sell out.

in other news, I am in Dublin for a few days and visited Scout this morning (you may remember them as a Toast stockist that sometimes has new items before they are on the Toast website). Lovely shop with lovely things, I have shopped here for years (am often in Dublin). I was hoping to see some Toast items that are yet to appear online, but they only had a few sale bits and bobs. I didn’t buy anything, but wanted to give them a recommendation if anyone travels here.

Aha, @ScottishMouse ! Yes, i must say it looks so much better irl, i mean the blue yolk is accurately captured but the body isn't. Thank you!

Thanks for the heads up on Scout @ScottishMouse , I'll definitely check it out whenever I get back to Dublin

@ScottishMouse That's interesting Re Scout, I'm near Arnhem, Netherlands for work and there's a shop called Jones Arnhem that I visit when I'm here, they too have Toast before it's online, must be a 'thing' offered to retailers.

What is Arnhem like @Architektin ? Had a chance to go there earlier this year but it had to be postponed, not sure when it might happen now.

That’s interesting @BettinaInDenmark I’ve just tried this check shirt and although the colours and material were lovely I just couldn’t get the frill to lay flat. I tried various ways of ironing it but it always popped up somewhere.
I sent it back today.

The shirt you bought is really lovely too, but I think I’m just not a 'clown' collar person.

Well, I’ve run them through two consecutive 20C washes (probably should have done three as the colour catcher still very blue). Anyway, after an iron I would say if anything they’ve relaxed slightly. Certainly not shrunk.
