Lots to catch up on! @ilovecherries ,I really like that mac but it sounds like it's going to be too big, also there's a reason you haven't worn it. What is that? I have that mac and wear it tons.
Re the clothing made in china, i read a review once in their site where a customer remarked on this and toast replied saying that they used... i can't recall how but it was some ethical group of makers... something, so i don't worry about that with them.
As for my own ethics re my footprint, it is something i could work on, and if i was going to be really good i would stop shopping now for a good few years. But i agree with you all, the reason for the returns is you just don't know how something's going to fit. One order in the last sale was made up of 3 dresses in 2 sizes, one pair of dresses both got sent back so i could order a 3rd size (kept that one!). I've never had this with any other shop.
In a previous topic on the wizardry art of layering, i was googling today, still on the hunt for the perfect white blouse to wear under jumpers, and i came across multiple lists of rules to layering that all mentioned the risk of looking like you're heading back to school. I feel like I've learned something about why i struggle to make this work.
Today's glorious sunny weather has had me in this dress. Anyone else have it? I love it so much and usually wear it at christmas.
