Any BODEN must-haves?

Don't laugh!

Am returning the spring trench which I got in preview so have 20% to buy/exchange. The mac is nice but much stiffer fabric than I thought and more formal.

Anything that I really should buy- which you love?

Most things I am looking at are out of stock for about 17 weeks....

groan. They never get their stock levels right.

I knew this would be you,Cabbages Grin

Am also finding Boden hard this season.
Got this cardigan in preview and it is nice,very fine wool and great colour.

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Knitwear/Cardigans/WK627/Womens-Long-Line-Cardigan.html?NavGroupID=6 and am waiting on the flared taupe chinos,but may swap for straight ones!

I love Boden stuff for the lounge pants, I get them for me and my DH, and they are the best. Have tried cheaper, but it's no contest for quality IMO.

hello GW! Grin

There is very little I like this season but I am keen not to waste the 20% if possible!

will check out the cardi but as I am small it might swamp me.

I was wondering about the Avignon jacket in purple? Is it chic and fun or frumpy?
(Remember I am a very old person).

I would plan to wear with jeans or linen trews.

I am a great fan of their camisole tops. They have adjustable shoulder straps and the quality is great - they just seem to last forever.

i have bought this in white with the £10 + 15% off to wear tucked in with flares.

Hasn't arrived yet so not sure what the fit is like.

I bought a fair few girly outfits fo my two monsters last week. I do love their spring collection at the mo.

It is a very fine knit,so doesn't add any bulk.
Also have the tie cardigan in tulip,which is nice.

cabbageroses · 02/03/2011 18:48

GW- yes but have you seen the wait for it? In the colour I would have? Ditto the linen tunic and all kinds of other tops and bottoms!

Hadn't realised that,sorry !

Love that cardi in Pewter but a 9 week wait?!

Boden are shocking for this....all that advertising, mail drops and % off incentives and then, you can't have the damned thing delivered!

I ordered something after Xmas and it finally arrived....I'd completely forgotten about it!
