It seems like a good offer but, besides the denim skirt, Im struggling.

I'm going to a wedding so I got dress, shoes, handbag and a pair of sunglasses so I was very pleased. If you want to buy some things the shoes are amazing, quality and comfy.

accessories on 20% off today. Currently considering a summer update to the circles bag. Or a scarf (although I may leave scarf to the sales). Or a nice belt. Little girl separates also on 20% off. Oh, women's shoes also 20% off today (you can combine the buy 3 offer with the 20% off I think).

I am still not absolutely sure I will buy anything though, I stock up in the sales so I am sitting here thinking, do I really need anything else....

kittya · 23/03/2011 09:33

whats the 20percent off code? that sounds abit too good to be true, if you can use them both. Although they have cocked up with something similar before.

Ive never kept a pair of their shoes appart from their trainers. Im a 4 1/2 and they never fit me properly.

I have too many bags. Im trying to be sensible.

People have certainly said you can get an extra 15% on top of the 20% offer, so I tried the above code and, yes, it does seem to work when you put 4 things with 20% off in the basket. That potentially could give you 40% off. Thing is, the stuff still seems a bit dear compared with sales and of course it might get complicated sending stuff back. If you order 4 items, you might well want to send 1 of them back, and trying to exchange etc might be a bit of a headache.

However, I think if anyone deserves a bargain it is you kittya!!

herecomesthsun · 23/03/2011 09:46

Oh sorry, the abve code is buy 3 get 1 for £1. There is no 20% off code, they are doing Catch of the Day again, and it seems to work with other codes. I posted todays offer on another thread,below.

wendihouse22 · 23/03/2011 09:50

No, cause whatever I look at, I can't have for 12 weeks!!!!

Sick of Boden for this. By the time the items arrive, you've forgotten what you ordered and frankly the summer, our British summer will be coming to an end.

Why does Johnny do this? Waves these lovely clothes and cracking deals at us and they NEVER seem to have enough stock! Ludicrous. The nice newspapery-style catalogue that came through the mail last week when straight into my paper recycling bin.....no point wanting something you can't have for 3 months!!!

lostinwales, which shoes did you get that you liked so much?

wendihouse - totally agree on availability - there are not very many items in their summer collection, so don't know how they expect to sell that much until the autumn preview comes round when so much is already out of stock!

lostinwales · 23/03/2011 10:46

I have these and they are really very comfy for a pair of heels. I am normally someone who is happy in flip flops in the summer and clarks comfy shoes in winter Blush but I can walk around in these admiring how much nicer my bum looks and adding a little wiggle to my walk

woopsidaisy · 23/03/2011 10:55

lostinwales they are lovely. I already have lots of wedges or I would be getting those too!
I have got all the boys Summer stuff,but can't seem to spend any money on myself at the minute.Grin
I tried these in tan,and they were dreadful. Definitely not worth the money.
Also tried this which is lovely,would really recommend.Unfortunately I am tall and it was a little bit short so it had to go back.Sad
Have ordered this in the multi colourway as the reviews for curves are good. we will see.
but I did order this in nickel today. Which I am very smug about. had ordered it in the yellow a few weeks ago but sent it back. Think it is nicer in silver-and a bargain to boot!

polyhymnia · 23/03/2011 11:00

woopsidaisy - agree with you on those gladiators which I tried too - very thin and not worth money. wedges look great, but they seem to have sold out in Navy 42 and i often need a 42 in Boden rather than my usual 41.

woopsidaisy · 23/03/2011 11:01

Keep looking poly. Lots of people send stuff back.

polyhymnia · 23/03/2011 11:05

Yes, I must be one of the top sender-backers of their stuff! Always keep a stock of free returns labels for that purpose. But each season do get some items which are successful and out of which I get lots of wear.

kittya · 23/03/2011 12:15

I put two pairs of shoes in my basket and, even with the 20% off it came to £178 and I would have to spend just as much again to get the fourth free. I really cant justify it. The shoes are totally overpriced, theres nothing on them.

Everything is double what its worth to begin with. I dont know how he gets away with it. Thats why theres always sales on.

In the end I did use this offer today. I got a red drapey scarf, a peony book bag and a couple of plaited belts. It averaged out at £17.65 per item, which is not too bad, and gets me some red and pink accents for spring to go with all my navy.

AlfalfaMum · 24/03/2011 00:15

I bought myself 2 pairs of shoes, clogs and ruffle ribbon heels I think.. both in catch otd, and used 15% off code on top. I only hope they bloody fit, I do actually need them, and they are very well reviewed... hate buying shoes without trying them on though Confused

kittya · 24/03/2011 07:00

Me too. I think I'm going to leave it and wait until the weekend. I could do with a thrown on dress but, none of them are appealing to me.

I think tne shoes are really poor quality for the price. Hobbs are much better. Boden just fall to pieces

kittya · 24/03/2011 11:01

Their sizing is always out
