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

[ilovecherries]

Here we are

I’m also waiting on the linas I think they’re coming tomorrows what’s the sizing like @OftenOrange ?

Just noticed toast have a little slidey fit description thing now

Thanks @Theteapotsbrokenspout - I too can only wear this jacket open due to top buttons gaping, but can’t go bigger as it’s already a bit too big on my small shoulders.

I think I will keep the jacket and send all the other clothes back.

Also, if our current house infection follows the same course as last year, I will also be sick in a few days, no doubt followed by DS1. I am therefore in need of some cheering up🤣. OH is currently walking wounded, so I am hoping he’s not as sick as last year 🤞

@Dee1224 congrats on dispatches! Still none for me :( I like the look of the pique on you but personally would find that sleeve length a bit impractical on a jacket-y piece. I do feel the cold, though! Hoping you swerve Covid, I'm still a bit run down from my last bout.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout Keep the jumpsuit on while you ponder until you next need the loo, to decide if the wriggling manoeuvres are worth it.

Love the socks @OftenOrange

Brilliant suggestion @clowniform 😁.

Thanks @clowniform - I was so sick last time, but fortunately not Long Covid - I know it got you badly - hope you recover properly soon!

The short sleeves on the jacket are a bit weird, but not the dreaded bracelet sleeves, so could probably make them work.

I am waiting for the coal tee, the gingham check dress, (tried before, trying again…), and the cedar/blue stripe.

Unfortunately I already know the cedar will be going back as I saw the long sleeved version instore last week and just looking at it triggered a headache- very thin stripes set me off😿

@Snowyowl78 I don't seem to have the slidey thing when I'm logged in, just the recommended size (which is probably only right 50% of the time).

@PretLea @Snowyowl78 I find theLinas TTS and supremely comfortable.
The style allows for variations in width.
Hope you will find the same.
@Dee1224 Yes , the pique shirt looks really good . I also like it with the long sleeved top under the short sleeves.
Worn open over tops seems the way to go.

Thanks @OftenOrange - decided to keep it as it is starting to feel like ‘mine’ now.

@OftenOrange thanks! I am excited about them as reviews say they are very comfy. Just in time for autumn!

@Theteapotsbrokenspout thats weird, the slidey thing has gone! Lucky a took a pic!

@OftenOrange , I wore my Linas’ with socks early this year before summer temperatures picked up. I absolutely love those sandals and will wear them in to autumn with some toast socks. I also just bought a pair of “as new” DM sandals in burgundy with the sole (pardon the pun) purpose of wearing them with socks and jeans/trousers or even, a la Toast, with dresses.

I have also noticed that the reviews seem to have gone from Toast when I view. I rely on those reviews to help with sizing.

I am seriously contemplating the pin tuck cotton gingham top. Does anyone have it and can advise on sizing?

In other news Toast Customer Services helped me to track the breen linen bag down to Edinburgh and Edinburgh are sending it out to me at sale price. I don’t understand why these are in the sale. I have the blue one and coveted the breen one but was told in store that they sold out almost overnight.

That’s good @ToastCosILoveIt Do you mind saying how much it was? They had all gone by the time I accessed the sale. Is it the really big linen bag?

Thanks

@Dee1224 - the pique shirt looks great. I was wearing mine today with a ninety percent navy tee and my new breen cotton linen trousers which are so comfortable to wear . I think someone might have to stage an intervention on me if I buy another pair of trousers in a similar colour though

Weirdly, Toast are still selling the olive/mimosa towel at sale price £35 - I got all the way to inputting cc details rather than it disappearing from my basket, (as is usual once sale ends).

Thought I mention it, in case anyone missed out and wants to give it a try. It’s probably a glitch that will be gone soon.

Me too. I'm still waiting on 2 dresses!

@faustina - do those inclue the Alix Khaki pair which I think we bought at the same time?

@faustina did you get the space check trousers in XXS by any chance? How was the fit? I got it in XS, but I think I should have sized down…

Thanks @faustina ! Those trousers look lovely! I haven’t tried Toast trousers - except the linen - but those are seriously tempting. Brown is my favourite colour.

@faustina @Dee1224 brown(ish) trousers are not something I’ve considered, but that collection is making me think I might need a pair. Would probably go really well with the blues and greens in my wardrobe.

@Stoic123 the bronze (?) alixes are in the pic. I also have the desert cactus (?) ones and the slate. I also have the gabis in beige and dark pear corduroy, and then an older pair in chartreuse jumbo corduroy, and a linen pair in beige and oh god I really have too many trousers don't I!

@PretLea they all look amazing with navy which is what I had on today ( with the slate pique shirt on top). You should def try!

I did have the xxs space check trousers and the fit was fine ( I'm a 6). They didn't suit me so I sent them back this morning

@ToastCosILoveIt hi do you mean this one
https://www.toa.st/collections/womens-shirts/products/pintuck-cotton-gingham-top-charcoal-natural

i tried it- got a medium and it was too small so I would need to size up to a large (IRL 14)

@faustina - ha ha. I'm sure I have a similar number.
