@dudsville - hope kidney probs clear up soon. Can't imagine you being lethargic.

Why not sell on?

BettinaInDenmark · 29/09/2023 21:47

@dudsville Hope your health issues will be solved soon.

@OftenOrange Was that the one Boden sold as an evening coat? I think I have that one somewhere too

Alpacasoft · 29/09/2023 21:49

Thanks @Countmeout
Just to say if anyone @ me I don't ever get the notifications as I forgot the password to the random email address I signed up withBlush
I'm not ignoring you .

Thanks for the heads up-am not buying much atm but will be cautious.

Thanks for the kidney support!❤ 48 hrs on from stopping the statin and feeling loads better. Anxious to get an alternative but happy to not be causing further damage to one key organ whilst trying to protect another.

@Stoic123 ,I think it's laziness that I don't sell on, but it keeps me on my toes when buying things. My silliest purchase this yr has been a chalk coloured pair of DMs. They're so comfortable but i think they look ridiculous. I'm hanging on to them for now. I've tried to look on line for styling ideas but i think I'm not great at interwebbing, i haven't found much.

OftenOrange · 29/09/2023 22:26

@BettinaInDenmark I’m not sure about that , it’s plain black with big black buttons , a friend bought the same in brown .
I’m feeling inspired to see how I can style it with some Tpast !

mizu · 29/09/2023 22:32

@MiracleToast I have them too. The Tretorn. I am a 6 and purchased last year in a 5.

MiracleToast · 29/09/2023 22:34

Thanks @mizu I am also a 6 so this is even more confirmation.

Countmeout · 30/09/2023 06:44

Glad you’re feeling better @dudsville .

Has @ilovecherries gone on holiday , just wondering after the discussion about how many dresses how many sandals etc you packed ? I go this week. I always fret I haven’t enough footwear for every eventuality. I tend to overpack. On the other hand I was caught out last time as it rained a couple of days (never known before) and I had only packed sandals/ flip flops.

faustina · 30/09/2023 07:03

@dudsville - so sorry to hear you haven't been well, but it's nice you're in the process of fixing it. I actually think chalk DMs sound really nice! Are they shoes or boots?

dudsville · 30/09/2023 08:19

Thanks@Countmeout . They're these@faustina , I found a pic on line, that's not me looking cool. I was supposed to host a lunch today but I've moved it to a restaurant for ease. I've only worn them once. Maybe i should just make myself wear them to lunch. I think they suit skinny stuff though and that's not my wardrobe. Any ideas? (Huh, in edit you can't add the pic!)

dudsville · 30/09/2023 08:20

These!

My shocking shoe purchase may have broken the thread. I'll take no offence to any critical comments!

I’m still here and at the nervous breakdown stage! We are taking our cases to twilight bag drop tonight so I need to be organised by 4pm latest. I’m no longer sure what is even in my case(s). I think because in 5 weeks there might be a significant cooling of weather, it’s stressing me out even more. But Spanish cooling and Scottish cooling is likely to be very different! Anyway, have packed all my Toast linen shorts (3pairs) and 4 linen tanks. Then tee shirts and toast linen trousers. And I’ve no idea how many dresses. And if I’m cold I will just need to buy myself a jumper!

dudsville · 30/09/2023 08:20

These!

I love these! Absolutely love them.

Countmeout · 30/09/2023 09:47

I took a cashmere wrap for the plane @ilovecherries . That will sort everything. And Spain is full of shoes. Have a lovely time.

They’re very cool @dudsville I think.

Snowyowl78 · 30/09/2023 10:20

I like your boots @dudsville

faustina · 30/09/2023 10:29

@ilovecherries - have a wonderful time, and yes - if you get chilly buy something - all those lovely EU shops!

@dudsville - the boots are splendid! I think they'd look great with cord, gingham or linen

Countmeout · 30/09/2023 10:56

Birkenstocks outlet in Plaza Mayor shopping centre in Malaga - just saying .

Snowyowl78 · 30/09/2023 13:11

I got the gingham shirt in a large in the end and kept it, it’s lovely and very versatile in how it can be worn. I’ve forgotten who was going to try it too.

toast have started doing stock notifications! Handy. I’ve got my eye out for those flower mountain trainers but I have a feeling they won’t restock

enjoy your hols @ilovecherries ! Sounds amazing

What way do you mean @Snowyowl78 ? Does it show how many they have? Or do they tell you when it comes back into stock?

dudsville · 30/09/2023 13:20

It's hard@ilovecherries but it sounds like a good collection you're taking with you! Good luck with your final preparations!

Thanks for the boots boost! I wore them to brunch with the alder dress and felt they worked really well. Before deciding on the dress I tried a bunch of trousers and decided the boots need dresses or cropped trousers.

Snowyowl78 · 30/09/2023 13:21

@Countmeout you can put a notification on to your email when it comes back in stock

Noodle421 · 30/09/2023 14:49

@dudsville i love your boots. I think you just need to wear them lots so you get used to them.

faustina · 30/09/2023 16:15

That's such a good improvement to be able to get an email when something comes back into stock - thanks for letting us know @Snowyowl78

@ilovecherries bon voyage!

Countmeout · 30/09/2023 17:10

Thanks @Snowyowl78
