So in love with TOAST at the moment
And not just the edible kind :-)
They do such lovely timeless basics. I'd been away for a while, pursuing Zara et al. But when I walked into Toast in Bath yesterday it felt like coming home. Maybe the style is just 'more me'. Thinking about it, I do, unhindered, tend to look a bit losse and baggy - which is (or can be) the Toast look.
But I defy anyone not to like these beauties.
Green 'boyfriend' sweater - so so soft. Long, forgiving, cosy. But not sack like. What's not to love? Er, well the price. I am waiting for the sale.
Aphra Boyfiend Pullover £139 Breton tunic dress. This is lovely. And not a bad price really, especially considering how well Toast stuff lasts. Nice length - just above knee on me (5ft5).
Breton Tunic Dress £69 Merino Waterfall coat. I didn't try this on, but it looked sublime on the mannequin. Another 'snap it up in the sale' item for sure.
Waterfall Milano Coat £245 Denim coat. Just love it.
Denim Jeans Coat £195 Boxy breton top. Surprisingly the boxiness looked good, and not too boxy, jut not clingy, which is sometimes an issue with stripy tops. Being of a larger bosom, I sometimes struggle with 'wavy' lines not straight stripes. Not with this one. Love the elbow patches with contrast direction stripes too!
Boxy Breton Tee £49 Last but not least I love this
tunic, which has a sweatshirt type consistency. Especially love the neckline. It's on my sale wish list.
Marled Loopback Tunic £85 I'm afraid I forgot to take changing room photos in Toast, but I did take some in River Island.
I saw this coat there. I liked it apart from the fact that the checks at the seams didn't match up, which looked very odd indeed. A shame as it was a nice coat, a very useful weight for the (hopefully soon to arrive) Spring - and only £40.
Nice coat.....(from the front)
Shame about the non-matching side seams - pet hate. (You don't get that in Toast....)
By the way, I would urge people to get themselves to Gap. I also got a bit of a haul in there. They have up to 50% off. I bought:
These dresses - one chambray, one navy - down to £29
Gap dresses - £29 This sweater - love the waffle knit £17.48
Waffle sweater - £17.48 The White Company also have a sale on (up to 50%) and I nearly bought
this knitted peacoat, as they call it, now sold out online but a few instore, but decided it would not wash well (never have much success with knitted jackets)... I reserve the right to change my mind though!
