Toasties springing into Spring 🌼

[IlovePond]

Hi,

As promised, here is the new thread. All are welcome to chat about all things Toast, znd any related topics!

I’m going to try the Vibae sandals. I like the new Fracap style, might be a change from fisherman. The jacquard cotton top looks nice. That’s it. I usually buy a dress around now but nothing for me. I don’t like the still life type print, too much for me.

Hopefully there will be a mid season sale soon.

Terribly disappointing. I, too, would usually get a dress. It certainly makes me glad I’ve kept the blueberry dress.
The fruit print is too much for me too. The blue gingham is not a style I particularly like. I do like a bit of gingham though.

I’m now glad I have bought a few other bits elsewhere for my upcoming holiday. I suppose( hope) there’s more to come but not holding my breath.

Yes, I was hoping for a dress too. It’s just all quite drab and depressing looking. Not sure when the next drop could be - May?

Must be around then @Saurus72 .
Drab and depressing sums it up. Strange that was the feeling I had went I was in London at Christmas in Dering street. Everything was so dark. Nothing jumped out.

the paisley poplin print dress is much more vibrant than those photos on the site. The red really stands out.

I like the gingham cotton shirt and button through jersey tee.
Will be collecting Dd from uni at the end of the month and will hopefully have time for a mooch around Kilver Court.

I too liked the blue and white gingham shirt. I’m interested in the dress a little. I want a sunhat, maybe one of the new ones would be good.

i like these trousers, was initially put off because I don’t like the shirt too as a complete outfit but I do like the trousers in their own. No sign of a dropped crotch!

toast keep being insistent on us wearing vegetables and fruit on our shirts. Annoying because I like both the Gia and the Baya but I am really not interested in the grocery theme.

What’s happened to the button through jersey tee? I put it in my bag last night and it’s disappeared today.

I think the websites still in flux @Theteapotsbrokenspout . A tea towel dress has appeared which is quite nice but rather like something I already have.

Maybe more additions will make it seem better than so far.

I sure do like the yves fracap sandals but can’t allow a second pair in my life when it’s hardly warm enough ever to wear the ola ones I already have!
I already have the waistcoat they’ve brought back in oat(?) but always thought I’d like a dark one too.
Im so attracted to the double tea towel (lol) outfit and how relaxed it looks but I know I’d never look anything like elegant in it! But I covet the dark green and blue striped material. Maybe if I lived in a place like where those photos are taken. Sigh.

@hicat i have that one too- it’s Woodash. Look out for sizing because the Wood ash was S,M, L but the dark ones are 10/12 etc. the Large I had is similar to the 12 apparently. I’ve been waiting for the Anthracite one to go in the sale but it never has!

I think the tea towel green skirt looks great but it’s not something I would likely buy. I’m quite interested in the light blue stripe skirt but prob wouldn’t buy that either. I like the fig linen apron skirt and the bronze green vest. What I really want though is linen trousers. Maybe the black ones will come in the sale.

One thing I’ve noticed in the skirts is that the garment waist measurements seem smaller than I recall them being for the size they state.

Ahh @Snowyowl78 woodash, yes I remember now! And thanks for the heads up about sizing. Since with toast two exact same items in the exact same size can have ~1” difference in shape and sizing I don’t feel too bad about ordering two sizes. I also kept my eye out for it in the sale! But alas. I do like that soft black though…

I also have my eye on the soft black waistcoat. I bought the anthracite last year, but the shade of navy was not quite right for what I wanted to wear it with and the soft black would work so much better. I may buy that and sell my anthracite one. I wonder if I can rely on the black being the same sizing as the anthracite 😆🤷‍♀️

oh I missed the button through jersey tee - will keep an eye out if it comes back. I like the shape of the apron skirts but I'm not such a fan of the colours. I'm not sure there's anything much there I want!

@Theteapotsbrokenspout I was about to buy an item after Christmas which was part of a new drop. It then suddenly disappeared and I was told it hadn’t passed QC and so was withdrawn from sale. I has my eye on the button through tee too. I hope it hasn’t suffered a similar fate.

How bizarre @clearsky - you’d think they would have found that out before putting it on the website!

Yes you would think so. My missed item still appears on website photos of other items.

Well, there’s no sign of a Kindred gift so far, or a mini sale, and I have just rung up and it doesn’t look like there will be an Easter sample sale this year either.

If so, it will be the first time in a few years that there hasn’t been an Easter sample sale at KC 🙀

It’s possible that Toast will make an extremely last minute decision, (they have form for this), and announce a sample sale with two days notice, or something equally unreasonable, but I am not holding my breath.

I am feeling a bit disappointed 😢

Has anyone had items altered to fit, and were you pleased with results. I’ve lost 2st since last summer so a lot of my favourites are now too big. I have a denim skirt that I particularly like but its a size too big. It’s a soft pleated full style with side button fastening. The tailor thinks they could take it in from back and front centre seams. Wondering if it’s worth it or I should let go.

I wonder why there’s no sample sale @IlovePond. I’ve never been but I know they’re always much enjoyed, how disappointing.

I see the button through jersey tops are back on the website for those interested. Not much for me - possibly the short sleeve knitted tops, but am not sure the colours will suit. I was eyeing the Keen sandals last summer as they were very popular - does anyone have a pair and are they as comfy as everyone says?

@CakeAndJazz - I bought a pair of Keen sandals super-reduced in a sale whilst on holiday in Japan. I had been Googling ‘best walking sandals’ a few weeks before and knew they were good. (It was so weird - I saw them from a distance down a side street on a table outside a tiny shop in a tiny town and recognised what they were. The guy was quite surprised to see me leap through the door and buy them!)

Anyway:
On the plus side - they are super-comfortable and I can walk for miles in them.

On the downside: I walked so far in them on that holiday I developed tendinitis!

I have worn them since, but if I over-walk whilst wearing them, my Plantar Fasciitis kicks in as they don’t give a lot of arch support.

They are brilliant sandals; it’s just my legs and feet are not nowadays what they once were 😿

@IlovePond did they actually say no sample sale? I remember calling them last year and they were just very cagey about it saying I had to keep an eye out on Instagram- and then there was one!
