Toasties - still loving the knitwear and the chat!

[IlovePond]

I have set up a new Toastie thread, guys.

Cos barrel jeans are rather lovely too ❤️

I love both of those dresses too. I've been wearing the long Lydia black v neck jersey dress to work with a polo neck underneath in a similar vein, it's so comfortable.

Going back in to take another look if there have been a few more things added. Been a 12 hour day at work so have had no time at all!

When will these further/final reductions ever happen? Come on Toast! 😃

Space jumper is a keeper it has all the colours and slots into my uniform of thin, gauze top plus what my teens call sweater vest.

The silk shirt is going back, beautiful colour, hard to describe but if it suits you, it will light up your face. But realistically I am not a casual, throw it on for work followed by a dinner party kind of person. My industry is far too rough & tumble. Maybe in a future life.

Space colours

That does look gorgeous!

@@TosstTastic beautiful colours, I'd that the tank? I still have itchy fingers despite waiting for a couple of parcels.

I've had an email. MH sale starts tomorrow.

Thanks you for the heads-up, @VivienneDelacroix, I had the same email

Although, I did make a couple of orders from Brora and Me+Em yesterday, so I fear I may have spent all my potential MH budget already(!) - a risk they take by going into sale so much later than everyone else.

@TosstTastic I’ve got that tank, it’s fabulous. I had loads of compliments when I wore it the other day

Further reductions but not sure what.

Thanks for the heads up!

Looks like only a very limited amount of items are reduced. At least I think the only extra reduced items from my first sale order are the jersey trousers.

Just seen there’s been a new drop. Nothing that stands out for me, which is just as well!

@Countmeout - thank you. The cotton linen canvas trousers I returned have been reduced. The matching jacket which was delivered today is the same price. Still making up my mind about it - it's nice, but as I already have similar, it will have to add something to my wardrobe and I'm not sure it does, except it is quite a nice colour. I suppose I'll wait till the cotton linen twill shirt arrives and see which is the nicest

My sale purchases are now oos, so I can’t tell if they were going to be reduced further. I am still dithering over the alpaca tank, i may still return that, so it is only really the onyx stripe dress. And possibly the Minako trousers which arrived today. They are so creased. I haven’t tried them yet though.

I really like so many of the new items - the navy linen Minako trousers, the navy linen shirt dress, the oat linen shirt, the pleated navy skirt, the denim smock, the ember kaia cardigan, the indigo twill vest, and the buttoned organic cotton dress. I think the dress would look great worn as a coat/jacket too.

Havung frozen my fingers off this morning, I have put the sale wool cashmere mittens in my basket and am considering trying some of the new things to make an order more worth my while 😆🙄

Thank you @Countmeout I can’t see much that’s got any extra off. A bit disappointing but never mind!

I like the navy linen minako trousers too @ScottishMouse - and the navy linen shirt - also the gingham trousers look lovely and the shirt dress which looks identical to the crinkle one they did a couple of years ago

I bought the barrel leg navy linen trousers last year @faustina, but now I wish I hadn’t as the shape of the Minako is much nicer.

Just remembered one other Toast purchase right at the end of Dec - a Post Pass! I realised doing my '5 things' lists that a couple of items on my 'heart sings' list were actually quite small - the brass dove and the marbled planner - and I could possibly have directed some gift or eBay money their way but had balked at the extra for postage. So an investment in 2025.

The marbled planner reappeared briefly on sale - and I bought one! I just picked it up, and it is beautiful. It's undated, so I've set it aside for when my life and brain are hopefully more normal again. The paper is a lovely weight, so I might actually use it for an mini artwork/poetry daily practice of some kind.

(Can't do photos tonight, but this is the Toast one.)

The wee stripe socks are often on my wishlist, although pumpkin/plum were OOS before the sale. The new spring ones are gloriously verdant!

I love the shape of this new cord jumpsuit, be interested to see that on. Not my colour though. (I am relieved :)

I see a bunch of insta influencers are promoting Toast’s circle initiative - angharad jones, that’s not my age among them. I guess nobody is handing over their perfectly good Toast items for nothing then?!

My first parcel finally arrived-oh dear
Please look at the picture of this shirt and tell me why its going back !

The background was also brown, the one in the shop was a beautiful deep burgundy.
The silk was just floppy and awful.
Will stick to viscose crepe Gias in future

The tie neck shirt -ok but I know I won't reach for it.
Kept the socks 😂

Nice notebook @Stravaig - hope you feel better soon x

I sent back the Gia shirt In that fabric. The background was possibly somewhere between your and the glorious burgundy on line. The orange circles were really 'muddy'.
I appreciate that it's not a hard core production line but the difference was too great, shame because I had high hopes. But plenty more in the sale for me so onwards and upwards.
