Toasties: Looking great for High summer and holidays

[Laska2Meryls]

New thread ...lets hope we get the weather to wear all our lovely summer stuff ..

Very pleased with my oar check dress with workwear jacket from last year ( think it’s in the sale now). Only wish it was a wee bit warmer! For reference I’m 5’3”, broad-beamed ( high street 12) and the dress is a medium and the jacket a 10.

@No1Mousie - it looks lovely on you, and thank you so much for posting that pic. It's always so helpful to see things on real people

@AmethystMoonShine - I'm so so pleased you said the Fracap mules were true to size! I took a gamble and ordered the olive in my regular size despite all the reviews saying to size up, but I was wondering if I'd done the right thing. I tried the black yesterday and they're beautiful - so grainy and soft, but they didn't have my size and they didn't have any olive ones so I thought I\d better try them first. At least if it carries on being such a rubbish summer I can cheer myself up with them

Probably the Loop back trousers were full price??
Not charged.
I wish there was a box to tick if you would like the gift or not.
Òr they do socks or soap

What do you all think? Pond dress in a small. As you can see, I’m not small! It’s very see-through!

Yup , its good on you Cherries Think of wearing it on your next holiday in a hot place ..

@ilovecherries I love it too. Perfect for a hot place.

Hm - you hink a keeper then? I wasn’t sure. I do like how it takes a normal bra though.

another keeper is the alpaca yoke jumper. I got that in a large as I wanted oversized. It’s making me sneeze a bit it’s moulting so much but I do love it.

I have 3 identical pictures. I thought they had a few different ones. But no. 3 the same. Why?? For my 3 houses??

@No1Mousie and @ilovecherries You both look fab, now considering the pond dress after being ‘influenced’ to buy the oar check which was such a good buy.

Those two pieces look great. I often struggle to figure out what items in my wardrobe work well together. Is that the garment dyed jacket in stone? If so, the colour looks so different to the website! I have the cobalt version of it, but always wondered about the other colour way. Looks quite green and pale on the website, but very different in your photo.

@Saurus72 I wouldn’t have thought about this dress if someone hadn’t mentioned it. One of the nice things about this group - seeing and hearing what works (and doesn’t) for others, and lovely feedback too!

@PretLea It is, and funnily enough I hadn’t liked it on the website, but saw it in store and loved it. It is a stone colour, but with a little green in it. I might try it with the green check shirt dress to see if it looks greener. Will report back.

Ha ha!!

The oar check looks lovely @No1Mousie ! I probably should have tried it but I absolutely cannot order anything else 🙃

@dudsville - welcome to Pondfest!

@ilovecherries - looking good in Pond!

I think this Saturday should be Pond day - to mark the end of the sale, everyone who has this under appreciated beauty should wear their Pond with pride!

@faustina thank you 😊

@ilovecherries oh that is nice on! It looks lovely and cool, and a little bit swishy which is always a good thing in my books.

@ilovecherries - that is perfect for you. do keep it!

@Alpacasoft and @Brillenbar47 - I got the weird pic, (the one with the brown stumps for legs), with an order.

I was returning the order - it wasn’t right - but had misplaced the print so contacted Toast:

Me on chat: Do you want the print back?

Toast chat: No…

Thanks @No1Mousie Let us know!

Thank you@Dee1224 , what a wonderful group. I also found another tee that might be better over it but have to wait for it to dry before trying that. I also have two fabrics that might work well just to bring the neckline up an inch.

@ilovecherries I agree it's quite see through!

Lovely oar check @No1Mousie, and your description of broad beamed, fabulous! I bought this early on and love it but haven't worn it yet.

@ToastCosILoveIt - have your Cotton Linen Canvas Trousers arrived? Just ordered them to try in a Large (I'm RL 14 bottoms). Wondered how you got on.

Looking forward to getting a not-so-popular print.

Customer service advised me my Fracap ink shoes had a manufacturing fault (although I’m a bit sceptical as everyone at cs seems to give a different answer). So I decided to reorder, they also offered free next day delivery, and apparently I am also receiving a Moira Frith print .

Hi, no, I am expecting delivery tomorrow. I have ordered a medium and am a high street 12.

@ToastCosILoveIt - thanks. Let me know how you get on. Seem to be selling out fast (though usually a restock if goes this quickly).

I’m feeling left on without the pond! But I cannot order anything else. Like for real this time.

I did also receive a print—I like it, it’s of a hula hoop dancer and strangely enough I’ve taken some synchronicity in terms of symbolism from it. So I will keep it, although it does really need a frame I should imagine, in order to hang.

Any final orders going in?!?
