Thanks @dudsville - it was far too rainy here yesterday to wear a summer dress minus a tee!

@Sooverthemill - lovely dress! Is that the colour Toast are calling Walnut this season?

Yes indeed. Walnut!
thank you for the skirt and dress love I am very pleased with them

I need a tee in this colour for under the maeve

Seasalt have this , but it's probably a bit dark and the swing shape could be difficult under a dress. I was surprised by some of the bits in seasalt so they could be worth a look.

I have bought a couple of White Stuff cotton jumpers for an extra layer for late summer evenings when camping but I seem to be wearing one now.. 🙄

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 31/07/2023 15:41

That's a much better colour @Laska2Meryls , I might have to get one myself Smile .

Laska2Meryls · 31/07/2023 15:29

Teal tee
White stuff have this one in the sale atm @neveradullmoment99

Thanks @Laska2Meryls I was looking for one.

@Snowyowl78 I have that jumpsuit and love it . Sure the bodice is neat but not at all tight , I took my usual Toast size .
I do find it hard to access the top button, contortion needed, but that may be me .
I think wearing something under would make doing it up tricky for me , but it will look lovely under a cardi or light jacket .

neveradullmoment99 · 31/07/2023 15:50

I might wait to see if it fits first then see the colour in real life. Its very hard to judge if it is bluish or a greenish shade to match. Thanks so much for that.

Also a thank you to whoever mentioned the Ikea 6L food bags for knitwear. I bought some this morning and they are perfect. As I can squeeze all the air out of them I can even fit everything in my drawer more easily too.

😊

Thats a lovely jumpsuit but I remember the " how to get out of it" issues.
I think someone got stuck!
@Sooverthemill
I love that dress -is it caramel as it looks on screen or brownish ?

Snowyowl78 · 31/07/2023 16:24

Thanks @OftenOrange im excited to see it!
was a bargain anyway so no big deal if I have to sell it

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 31/07/2023 16:25

It's the thorn green workwear shirt. I think the colours work well together.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout @Dee1224 Great pairing, looking beautiful.
@Sooverthemill Also loving the brown dress.

Dee1224 · 31/07/2023 16:54

Ooh that’s lovely, @Theteapotsbrokenspout That kelpy dress is on my wishlist,
Thanks @OftenOrange !

Looks gorgeous!

Laska2Meryls · 31/07/2023 17:55

Yes Fab@Theteapotsbrokenspout .. I have worn mine with the peaks print dress and over the navy linen balloon trousers with plain navy vest top. Also I think that it will look good with The Trousers once I sort out which size I shall keep .. I think that it works better as a jacket though as its quite heavy for a shirt..

MaroonedOnADesertIsland · 31/07/2023 18:00

Lots of lovely outfits.

@ScottishMouse just wanted to post this photo for you of Justine Tabak the dress designer - she seems to wear Tevas a lot with dresses and looks good I think.

MaroonedOnADesertIsland · 31/07/2023 18:01

With photo would help!

@Laska2Meryls I've worn it with the Fenugreek balloon trousers, I’m also hoping it will go with the dhal mariner skirt I bought in the sale.
I wore it today with just a slip vest under it, just right for today’s temperatures.

Laska2Meryls · 31/07/2023 18:12

I haven't thought of it with fenugreek or dhal...@Theteapotsbrokenspout but sounds good ..Once I get my bedroom back together I shall experiment more with it ...

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 31/07/2023 18:16

I also bought this Toastesque wooden board in the charity shop today £2.50. I'm going to sand and oil it.

You'll be able to sell it for £100 via Toast ReProfit 🤣

Wearing the Ticking Stripe Dress today (blessed be the fruit) and the last day of my July challenge which turned out to be not much of a challenge. My conclusions from wearing 31 different Toast outfits this month:

  • Don't buy any more shorts, jumpsuits or crinkle cotton dresses
  • Viscose dresses (in vibrant patterns) are fun to wear- happy to accept an 'I told you so' from some of you on this point.
  • Don't automatically size down to the smallest size that fits ok.
  • Wearing a CottonCashmere Dress is like staying in your PJs all day.
  • The combination of dark top/pale trousers looks much better on me than the other way around (this is a genuine revelation)

It seems to have been a really useful exercise for you. I agree, the cashmere dress is gorgeous to wear.
