I've just ordered loads from Boden

and it's nearly all going back.
Why can't I learn, I will never look like a swishy haired, size 8, 20 year old model?
The worst was a cute expensive lace top that was going to transform me into a gamine French woman. It's got a tinge of per Una.

You're not alone.
In my head I'm a supple, toned size 8 twenty something, when in reality I'm a fat, old git in my forties.

I've fallen right out of love with Boden.

For years I've kind of wanted to be the sort of woman who wears Boden, but I'm just not. Too feminine and fussy and colourful for me, and none of it ever fits 'right'. I have learnt my lesson, tho. Haven't bought anything there in years that wasn't for the kids.

I've just done the same. Tried it all on put it all back in the box. I need to remember not to bother next time.

It manages to be too young and too old all at once.

Might try Hush.
