Are we having a Boden frenzy?

[cabbageroses]

I think we are in danger of succumbing to Johnnie's foreplay- and he is working us up into t right lather.
The thought of 40% off has got us all weak at the knees.
No?

I bet it will be 40% off all the horrible crap no one wants.
You are warned.

im keeping the slate wrap dress, good sizing as usual for me, dull but good office wear. Cardigan too small so going back.
Metropolitan shopper, i'm unsure i got Navy but i dont really have anything to go with it and there arent any neutral colours. Shame as it is nice.
All the mini stuff keeping, good combats for ds2, hotchpotch tops for dd1 and fringe sandals and cowgirl boots in raspberry that she'd been pestering for.
Polos for dp, lovely but he doesn't like them.

Breezy Tees were dispatched last night so I am hoping they will arrive today or tomorrow so that I can wear them when we go away at the weekend.

Also, I know its not strictly S&B, but can I sing the praises of the Mini Boden Dress Tops? I bought the slouchy and the stripy for my 5 year old DD and they are just fantstic.

Jemima Please report back on the breezy Ts. I would quite like the white one for my hols but the reviews have not been great for the quality or fit. Can you let me know if it comes up big or not - thanks!!

Jemima - do the tops wash well?
I have two that I'm unsure about keeping as they are nothing special IMO. Lovely colours and useful but keep thinking I could do better. The ruffle vests are pretty though.

Linen dresses - fit me brilliantly, I have lumps to hide and appreciate the extra fabric and looseness around the middle!

morag which colours did you go for in the linen dress? I have the azure which I love but wondering about the others now that I like the shape :)

Dress Tops have only been washed once so far, but they seem to have washed well so far.

Just got back from work (half day) and was hoping to find the parcel here but its not . But will report back on snigger inducing Breezy Tees when they arrive

Tulpe - I went for -
Azure - would never go for it but blossoming recommended the colour. Looks fantastic.
White - unusual to get a lined one for that price and I thought it would come in useful when DC are older (have no chance of keeping it white at the mo!) as it's quite a classic (boring) shape.
Pink (Tulip) - Nice, but don't like the contrast stitching for some reason and I need more of a fuschia. Think it's a "warm" pink.

I sent back the useful and practical chambray so I could keep two of these.

Thanks Jemima - I'm sure I could find something else if I looked really hard but the colours are sooo vibrant. I'll keep as the weather is perfect for them.

Tulpe - Straw seems very popular as opposed to cyclamen! Were you considering the Tulip?

Oi Johnnie - where's my stuff??!

I guess he's so busy dealing with the massive pile of returns from you lot that he hasn't had a moment to stick a stamp on my parcel and actually send it.

What did you get Ruby?

Ive just got a £10 voucher maybe he heard that I still havent got my bloody order!

katy I announced on a thread a while back that my love affair with Johhnie was over.... it lasted until he sent me another discount code

The stripe scarf I ordered today but I have sent it back. Just a bit meh... I was hoping it would work for an 'Annie Hall' look but it didn't.

On a more positive note, the silver pumps were out of stock in my size but briefly came back in to stock today and I managed to order - off to Centre Parcs for a weekend at the beginning of July and then camping in France at the end of July - so these will be good. I have spent the afternoon in the sun planning what to take to France while DC were running wild with the hose!!

Ruby - I was thinking about the scarf - now you've said that I'll pass! I'm hesitating on the knitted v top - I have wide shoulders and slim build - should I size up to 14? Everything else I fancy isn't on sale.

Thanks Ruby - I'm going for the V necks in 12 - plus a cropped cardi not in sale but 15% off(honestly I'm such a sucker).

I have received a £12 voucher from Boden to spend by midnight tonight- anything you recommend?

Meggles - was thinking of the silver pumps but worried the silver would be too 'bright' - I previously had a subtle pewter pair. So most interested in your views on them when received.

I LOVE the linen top which arrived this morning - just too late to get all the other colours at a bargain price [busad]

I don't see why it would be too late. I got two yesterday and ordered another two straight away. I think they are great and that's saying something for me
