...for thinking that the Boden outfit in the current ad on MN is rank?

Denim shirt plus flowery granny cardie? On what planet is that not a crime of fashion?

Oh bollocks. I wear tweed and have a flowery cardi. I'm turning into a Boden Mummy.

I would draw the line at a denim shirt though. Or hotchpotch.

Just looked at the beyond-ghastly togs inflicted on little boys by the Mamas and Papas company. Dear God! I can imagine any self-respecting two year old kicking and screaming at the prospect of wearing such poncetastic gear. As for the specs and smarmed down hair model - is it fancy dress and is he going as Brains? Poor kid.

Woah - have just heard - it's been dispatched and should be here tomorrow or Saturday. Will provide a real life update when I've seen it, felt it and tried it on . Oh - will this out me in real life - if I like it and anyone sees me wearing it?

I like it too, never worry! Wouldn't pair it with denim though :)

I really like Jaeger but its soooo expensive

I actually hate the MN obession with boden, I can live with many of the idiosyncrasies on here but the boden bit makes me ASHAMED

porcamiseria check Jaeger outlet and current 70% sale, bargains there and beautiful clothes.

It's here - came yesterday. It's really nice - I ordered the blue colourway. I wore it last night with an above the knee straight skirt. DS 16 said "crikey mum, you look nice, we're only going to ........". Nicely made, fits beautifully, and looks very nice on. So there.

Sometimes it's great to buy cheap and cheerful like primark, but on the whole I like things to look ok after a few washes. BTW I have never bought Boden which is subliminaly presented on here, but am curious. How about a free sample? Seems to me you have to be a Mum like the one in 'Outnumbered' eg size 10 for anything to look good on you. I think it is a 'southern thing' for sure.

I'm sure the Outnumbered mum is smaller than a 10!

Married - glad you look gorgeous in the top, but for the love of God pleeeeease don't wear denim underneath it!

not keen on Johnnie Boden either...

....well - I'm a rounder, softer version and a 12/14 but the DH is a ringer for Hugh Dennis .
