Toasties eagerly waiting for sale day, while worrying about the life of their resold items

Here we are

I love them! They are so cute!! What size did you order? I ordered the medium but I am a 14 and wondered if I should have sized up. Are they ok on the waist?

@Countmeout - 12 degrees is not good for this time of year! I hope you have wall to wall sunshine on your holiday!

@ScottishMouse - I really think you should keep the culottes - they look brilliant and I am also going to have a look at them now!

They look lovely toned down with black or maybe even navy.

@ScottishMouse They look amazing! That colour is lovely. (Easy for me to say as I don't have to find things to wear with them!)

They are quite wide, but not overly so from the side. Wider from the front I think.

They look so comfy and I am sure with washes they will fade beautifully.

I think you should keep them @ScottishMouse - they really suit you!

What height are you @ScottishMouse

I ordered a small based on previous elasticated culottes I have. I was slightly worried that I should have gone bigger, but they are fine on the waist. I’m a 10-12 on my bottom half/waist. I think you should be ok with medium.

Only 5’2”.

Surprisingly, I have a few things that will work with them. I think anything black/dark grey/navy will go. Probably white too in summer, but it’s hard to tell as it is grey and rainy and 12 degrees here today.

Thanks. I am definitely thinking about it.

I think they will look fab with all those things. Hope they look as good on me.

Ah yes, I was thinking navy and white but didn't consider grey and black! Loads of options. They really are nice!

I love those culottes @ScottishMouse . I think they’d be quite versatile. I like the idea of them with a while T-shirt.

So good about the cord dress @neveradullmoment99 , it sounds brilliant.

Thanks @faustina , I hope so too.

@Dee1224 , I’ll maybe look at it as a wrap for holidays from what you say.

So this is what I ventured out in today

I am contemplating the dip dye silk shirt. Still expensive (Euro 295), but I have liked it since it was introduced.
Does any of you have inputs about sizing and loveliness?

@BettinaInDenmark Nothing on sizing but the fabric is very fine/thin silk. I guess it depends if that is a positive or a negative. I personally don’t think the fabric justifies the cost, it doesn’t feel luxurious IYKWIM. Gorgeous colours though!

Lovely outfit. Looks very comfy too :)

Love those colours together @Firesideknitting

@ScottishMouse the linen bag - possibly a stylish alternative to carrying my toddler about, then 🙂

@faustina I’m hoping I could maybe use it as a camera bag, but might be a bit of a squash.

@dudsville I never managed the gingham skirt (I thought it was still quite pricey in the sale), but popped the shirt over the dress. I know what you mean about the shirt, I don’t actually like it much when it’s closed. But a nice over shirt over tanks maybe (or this dress), or under sweaters soon soon.

That's a really great outfit @fireside, I've never been able to imagine how that to could be worn irl, that looks fab! (I have that taller chest of drawers)!

@PretLea , your post made me think, does a button down shirt have to be buttoned down when layered under a sweater? Maybe not!

@ScottishMouse - ooh I like those culottes on you. Super cheerful. They look like they'd be too short on me or I'd be tempted to buy them.

@dudsville I am still finding my styling feet, but I saw this on IG and thought it might work when it becomes cooler. Might get away with minimum buttoning? Or tucked in at the bottom with just a bit of the collar out?
