Toasties enjoying sale buys and waiting for Santa

[Countmeout]

Here

Thanks @lordloveadog - I am feeling a bit more with it tonight and may pick up with my present wrapping tomorrow 🤞

Last posting date tomorrow lunchtime as per email this morning.

@Countmeout do you think this means a sale on Thursday?

I too received the last order before Christmas email, and I’ve just placed an order for some green loveliness from the most recent drop, so I feel we’re almost guaranteed a sale by Thursday!

Well it’ll be interesting to see if it’s Thursday.

what did you chose @No1Mousie

@Countmeout nothing enormously exciting but hopefully useful. I was sorely tempted by the green coat, but I just can’t contemplate spring coats at this time of year!l I ordered these …

Beautiful greens!

Love those @No1Mousie . I love green.

Where has everyone gone?
To the FB group?

Looking forward to the sale but have a pretty strict list.

Love those trousers @No1Mousie - I'd been eyeing them up too

@Alpacasoft - the FB group is very quiet too - I think we are all just waiting for the sale maybe? I know I am, in between trying to get Christmas ready

Thanks @faustina
I thought that the comment meant some of the group had left.
There's always a lull before the sales so hopefully will pick up soon.

@Alpacasoft - oh I see what you mean! I think it's just the pre-sale and Christmas preparations - the earlier comment about people leaving was the do with the competition business

I love that t shirt @No1Mousie , it’s such an optimistic green.
I had a very quick browse at some new drop pieces earlier , the blues and greens are so gorgeous.
I like the soft blue cord jumpsuit but feel quite satisfied with the indigo and don’t feel that it would look good under a cardigan. There was a very nice green cord dress , and the new orange and green flower print is enchanting though the fabric looks far from toasty warm.

I really need to prise myself away from Toast , I never look around the shops now . Let’s see what the sale brings ( chie Mihara square toe boots please , a pair of nice VEJA an ecru jacket )

Hi, sorry, I have been quiet on this thread as my new job has completely diverted me! I enjoy catching up on all of the updates and discussions although there have been weeks when (shock, horror) I have had three or four days worth, sometime even a week, of catching up to do. I have been on this thread under this name (created for this group) since its inception and you all feel like friends!

Today I am working from home and out has come a sales purchase for its first wear: the Fair Isle Yoke Sweater in Blue Multi and a size S/M. I think I may have picked it up in the summer sale. I am wearing it with a very long Cos pencil skirt which is black with a bit of stretch and supremely comfortable. I have also got on some new black Cloud 5 waterproof trainers which I bought with the intention of wearing for work/smart occasions and they are living up to their name:like walking on clouds. I have dodgy feet and comfort is paramount.

I am hoping to pop out to the shops in my lunch break and if I do I will don the Wide Sleeve Organic Denim Jacket which I bought in the summer but haven’t worn yet, and also the wool orange scarf, again, bought in the summer but not yet worn and which appears to be sold out on line (can’t find it on the website now).

I am anticipating the sale and have my eye on a single jumper and a dress if they are reduced. I have been guilty of far too many impulsive purchases in the past and I don’t wear all of them. Our eBay page has greatly benefited from my over purchasing so I need to get control of it!

Hi @ToastCosILoveIt ! I think I remember that jumper. Waiting with interest for the sale…

A Toast as just came up on my IG feed, advertising for early access to the winter sale. So I added my details, and after submitting it said I’d be notified by email on Saturday, 23 December. I am Kindred and always thought that meant getting notified before anyone else, but maybe not…

I've just discovered Alix trousers and need to know -
Do they add a new wool variety every winter and cotton/linen in the summer?
When did the sizing change?
Also what was the issue with the competition?

@PretLea - that's very odd. they've never done that before! Also odd that it's starting on the 23rd which is a Saturday

There are lots of nice new things in the reworn section of the website. I've ordered a pumpkin jumper to try - it's quite nice to be able to return if not right - I would hesitate to do that with something on Vinted for example

We need one of our resident masterminds sleuths to find the secret link to the sale - fingers crossed

I wonder @PretLea is there a kindred start tomorrow or Friday then? I doubt that is for kindred. Maybe just trying to drum up extra interest.

@Petrie usually a new Alix both seasons. The sizing seems to vary even before the ‘new’ sizing.
I doubt any of us remaining on the thread wish to revisit anything that led to an upset on the previous thread . I know I don’t .

Getting revved up for the sale here, even though I don't need very much and I will certainly over-buy and then send it back, but I do enjoy the thrill of getting a bargain (well, in Toast terms, it will be a bargain). Thankfully I have a day off tomorrow so my day is planned around keeping the evening free!!

ive been pretty quiet for a while, various reasons, poorly boy at home(crohns). Absolutely so much to do with birds and outside. Then just super tired…

im hope for a good sale and maybe get some items off my wish list …..

hope everyone is well and not too cold …

Very odd @faustina! Really hoping for tomorrow @Countmeout.

Everyone seems to be ticking along (as much as possible for this time of year), like me, with not much time to check in here. Sending strength to all who need it.

The green trousers arrived today. Lighter fabric than expected, and to my mind a tiny waist for a 12 … but the length was good, more than full length on me (hs 29/30” leg) and they are generally nice gang aboot trews so I’ve re-ordered in a 14.

The jumper was just gorgeous - lovely clear bright green and slightly fuller sleeves. Ordered a medium and fit was perfect.

The jersey top was ridiculously small for a medium. I’ve reordered a large, but now wondering if I shouldn’t have gone for an xl

and, in a fit of madness I’ve ordered the Anya shirt (which I suspect will probably not fit my broad shoulders) in redcurrant.

Fingers crossed they don’t appear in the Sale!

Thanks @Countmeout for those details but toast sure don't make ordering online easy if there sizes are so all over the place! Anyone got a feel for the sizing of the present wool ones with the blue check? Do they go in the winter sale usually?

@peerie - I think someone mentioned that they give actual garment measurements on the website now. Maybe that would help? We all send back lots of things because if the sizing issues and if something's in the sale and I really want it, I order two sizes just in case
