Thanks for the sale tip off!

@BettinaInDenmark the Fracap mules are on the small side of true to size in terms of length but pretty generous width I find.

Ordered a few sale bits, a couple of linen dresses to try, the off white checked blouse and a pair of the linen shorts in copper as the navy and bitter chocolate ones have been fabulous.

PretLea · 14/09/2023 16:52

Thanks for the sale alert earlier! Managed to grab a few bits I’ve had my eye on.

Hi @beechwoodmouse ! I'm finally trying a bikini set after years of not having been swimming. We haven't been in holiday in years but the times approaching when this will once again be on the cards. I like the one you chose but i went for the plain back.

Stoic123 · 14/09/2023 17:07

@ScottishMouse - thanks for the alert. Grabbed a couple of things on my wish list (Reeds Check and Boat Neck Linen) and now for a more leisurely browse....

PretLea · 14/09/2023 17:15

Does anyone have the Solovair Edith shoes? What are they like? I’m in need of an AW shoe.

And an Easy Tee and that's it for me. Luckily not too much in the sale and only till Monday.

Happy Sales everyone

Nanasueathome · 14/09/2023 17:44

I’m debating (with myself) if there’s anything I really need/want

Countmeout · 14/09/2023 17:48

I’m back in . After the shorts were purchased I went for another look and bought the funny little vest top that I’m very dubious about the colour of. It looks as though it should match the ogee culottes but who knows. A pair of Birkenstocks fell into my basket too and a towel. I’ve had the dispatch email already. Look forward to hearing about all the successes and failures.

dudsville · 14/09/2023 18:18

I've purchased 12 things, and 1 of those i ordered in 2 sizes, and another one I've got coming in 3 sizes. 😳

faustina · 14/09/2023 18:24

@dudsville I've done the same. You have to don't you, with such sizing issues?

Popplebop · 14/09/2023 18:38

Oh dear… two orders already! Much-longed for Kelp dress and the olive wood spoons were on my saved list followed by a navy sweatshirt and cream tie neck T shirt. And the Good news trainers just to see.

OftenOrange · 14/09/2023 18:39

I was waiting for treatment at Moorfields and saw that some sale items were trickling through , then damn it I couldn’t see a thing after the treatment.
I normally flake out at home for a few hours after it all , but today as soon as I was home and could see properly I’ve spent a very happy half hour ordering ,and then checking on here what everyone else has bought.
I bought a black and a navy boy t shirt to wear with my old indigo dungarees, a bue gathered sleeve t to try, the sapphire tie front linen dress (tried in store so knew my size) Pond dress, the sea kelp skirt and the citrus seersucker dress.
I resisted the Birkenstocks as I have 3 pairs but all a bit old, and reluctantly the Maeve dress.
I wanted a nice jacket and a cute lightweight linen dress with sleeves to wear to the beach ,but neither surfaced .
I wonder whether there’s more to come ???

OftenOrange · 14/09/2023 18:50

@dudsville Loving that dress/ workwear combo on you , and the trainers keep it fun and Summery. I’m the same about footwear with dresses, I do love the ankle socks and boots look on the Toast models but I feel like an imposter in them myself .
It was all so easy when short skirts , black tights and boots ruled , pre Toast in my case !

Countmeout · 14/09/2023 18:52

I think that’s probably it if it’s over after the weekend.
I’m having anxiety about 3 pairs of shorts in the same order in case returns prove problematic if they miss a pair.
I have a pair of Birkenstocks but these seem to be a better colour

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 14/09/2023 19:00

I went back in and ordered a couple of easy tees, luckily I already had one I bought earlier in the year so I should have the right size.

neveradullmoment99 · 14/09/2023 19:02

Does anyone have the milpond culottes? Ive ordered them in a medium but wondering if i need a bigger size?

MiracleToast · 14/09/2023 19:10

Thank you @ScottishMouse for the heads up—I got the notification just as I was about to go in to get the bridesmaid dress pinned. I had the fracap hikers with me to try on for the hem—and have since ordered some green and beige laces from fracap to go with. October outdoor wedding? I’ve got this!

Dee1224 · 14/09/2023 19:13

Hope it all went ok @OftenOrange .

Glad to see that another Pond might be finding a home! I love it so much I am tempted to buy another for ‘spare’, (I do know that’s weird 🤣).

OftenOrange · 14/09/2023 19:19

Took another look and ordered the sapphire linen dress in the smaller size in case , then the boat neck linen in midnight and a black tank t.
The navy dress looks really boring but all my favourite Toast items are navy or black .

Snowyowl78 · 14/09/2023 19:30

I’ve placed 4 orders! Haha

faustina · 14/09/2023 19:58

yes, three orders for me too, and I'm not going to look again because that way lies madness. I was surprised at no jumpers or jackets - odd isn't it? (some of the cotton/linen knitwear ) - but if the sale ends on Monday there's no way they'd add anything is there?

@OftenOrange - I ordered the same tees, in a small because I know they're a bit fitted. Fingers crossed everyone got the sizing right!

ToastCosILoveIt · 14/09/2023 20:02

Oh no, I didn’t see the sale until 7pm so missed out on a lot.

@MrsRadichio , I have that dress: I am a 12 and had to size down to a small/10 for it as it does come up big.

Happy sales shopping all.

Same here Blush .

mizu · 14/09/2023 20:16

I'm sitting on my hands this time around but hope everyone else is purchasing some winners.

Loving that space check dress @dudsville and the bud check too. Both look lovely and so comfortable.
