to be curious to know how many of us are middle class mothers who wear Boden?

I always enjoy the wide cross section of opinions, attitudes and experiences on Mumsnet. But other media seems keen to present Mumsnet as white middle class Boden adorned mothers.

I know I'm not, but how many of us are? Grin

Sorry if this has been asked before, but couldn't find anything in the older threads.

They left out a big stereotype where i am.....the frumpy but "ever so rich" but you wouldnt know it until you went to their house mum.

quite a few round here...wax coats

Guilty on all three counts. Although I think Boden adult clothes are actually pretty horrible ( poor quality, funny sizing, over priced, strange prints) I have got more of it than I care to admit. Haven't bought any for over a year though - now dcs are both at school I can get out more and have realised the error of my ways...

DD has quite a lot of Boden but it is mostly handed down - does that make me uber middle class? Wink

Yep! Grin

My dd1 (18) asked for Johnnie B red suede pixie boots for Christmas. They are lovely though, and I've tried my hardest to cram my feet into them, but sadly my fat feet will only fit the boxes, not the boots.

guilty - I buy some Boden basics
