Toasties debating another sale 😬and waiting impatiently for all the new things

New thread

Ohhh thanks for your styling info on the beautiful green skirt … it was the colour I’m most drawn to but was thinking the toffee was the more sensible option. Maybe I just need to be more bold in my colour pairings. Imagine one will end up in my basket before the day is out … 😆

@neveradullmoment99 sadly the lime dress is a keeper. But it’s not really lime, pic attached of the colour. It is glorious!!!

@Countmeout The jacket is exactly what I want but it’s too big. Will return for smaller

Beautiful colour @Qweesh !

Similarly coloured cord skirt has been ordered as sizes were running out.

@whinsome Isn’t it beautiful. I almost went and ordered the cord skirt but I already have it in Toffee so had to sit on my hands!!

That sounds great! I love the colour and I like cord, I am just not sure if the shape will suit me. But time will tell!

I liked the toffee one too. It was a bit of a toss up. But I wear a lot more green than brown and it fits my tops and sweaters better in green.

Have ordered both the green and the toffee cord skirt and will see which I like best in real life when they arrive should be Tuesday next week

Oooh it looks gorgeous in colour. How is the fit? I am a 14. It says to size down? Would you agree with that?

@Qweesh How will you wear it to avoid dry cleaning? I just cannot be bothered dry cleaning tbh.

I mean maybe a fine top under it?

Oh good @Qweesh . Glad it’s a sort of success. Hope the other size is just perfect.

@Qweesh - that looks gorgeous. I have been eyeing up the midnight version for months but couldn't justify full price for the amount of times I would wear if drycleaning needed. Sold out in my size before the sale so temptation removed.

@Qweesh - what a lovely colour - so vivid!

@lordloveadog - thank you - very helpful. I'm not a fan of neat jumpers either

@neveradullmoment99 I’m an 18 and the site recommended a Large. Generally I buy an XL but as the sizing tool seems to be getting more accurate I took a punt with the Large and it’s a perfect fit, so yes, I would say to size down.

Re wear to avoid dry cleaning, I was thinking to just use my steamer after wear to freshen a little, and then bung in the washing machine on a cool wash as needed and hope for the best. 🤪

@Stoic123 try the green, try the green!!

I've joined the cord skirt club! Bit worried about the elastic back but worth a punt.
Also gone for the flecked jumper.
My current ethos is - can I wear this for 'best', will it be ok at work (bit quirky, robust workshop) land then can I wear it in the garden.

@TosstTastic Which colour did you go for?

@Qweesh 😂

Unfortunately the colour, as gorgeous as it is, won't suit me.

Toffee @sonjadog Got a few brightish green knitwear things so didn't want to go full Alien Attacks.
Went for the Donegal scarf but suspect it might be too heavy.

Me: I absolutely, definitely don’t want or need anything from this sale.

Me, ten minutes later: I’ve suddenly discovered an urgent cardigan gap in my wardrobe and the lofty alpaca just fell into my basket.

I panicked about the fact I haven’t bought a coat this year and bought the brown one Evie had on in one of the videos. It’s going back and I haven’t even got it yet 🤦‍♀️
I also bought my first Emma T shirt. Took a stab at the size. Not very hopeful.

The green dress looks amazing @Qweesh .

I can vouch that a Donegal scarf is very heavy @TosstTastic . I got one in a previous sale. It is rather lovely though. Has a Donegal smell .

The current Season continues to elude me , or maybe the few things I may have bought are already present in the wardrobe .
I went to my local Toast to try a few pieces and all were poorly fitting on me . That dear little neat jacket ,the one with Nehru collar in deep navy or cream , which would have been snapped up had it fitted was just a little too neat in my usual size and the next up which they didn’t have will probably be too big on the shoulders.
Looking forward to receiving the sale buys , I’m expecting to keep two or three items out of those. Will report back !

Having a second look at the sale.

Has anyone tried on the Blanket Stitch Wrap Jacket? If so, thoughts?

I have thoughts @Stoic123 . I saw it in store. It is beautiful. I am surprised it is not sold out as the coat is in many sizes. I would have ordered it except I am not sure how a half jacket in that fabric fits in my wardrobe.

@Countmeout - thanks. I'm going to order it to try. Think it may fill a gap for me.
