Dare I start the what are you buying from Boden spring collection thread?

well? anyone coveting anything- and feedback please when it comes.

Is everyone distinctly underwhelmed then?

I have my eye on a few dresses but am disappointed that the only "decent" plain colour- if you don't want fun, floral, or other scream-in-your-face colours is... navy.

I am looking at

and

but they are all the same colour- don't like any other shades or prints.

Like that navy jersey one. Agree re prints. Not buying anything til I lose some baby weight.

I trawled the site yesterday and bought a couple of bits for DD. There wasn't a single item I wanted, though.

Even the jersey dresses (and I agree, the navy one looks OK) just didn't grab me enough to warrant the spend. I have a couple of their jersey dresses already and they are OK, but nothing special (and I have a similar navy jersey dress from H&M that cost £30 and washes better than my black Boden one).

So, definitely underwhelmed.

They desperately need to sort out their colour schemes (lots of horrible purple) and garish prints. Those awful circles everywhere. My eyes, my eyes!

not really a boden person but do like the red trainery shoes

Now that I have found a 20% off code here on MN, I will be ordering

Me: Boyfriend cardigan in natural, pewter messenger bag, classic shades and I quite like the navy clog type shoes.

DS (8) is in need of new Ts, sweatshirt, shirt and swim shorts
DD (7): T-shirt dress, stripe sweat shorts, heart pocket denim shorts, Ts

I'm going to get some things for the kids but I am so over Boden for me. Johnnie only designs for flat chests.

Oh, what is the 20% code scarlet76, please?
I had picked out quite a few things I liked, but have had to change it all for maternity stuff...am 9weeks.
Here is my basket if anyone is interested...

It's A614...sshhhhhhhhhhh!

Thank you!

i've accidentially ordered the pink tote bag, hope it's nice, had to return an oilskin bag i got last time as it was fugly!

I wasn't going to buy anything else once I resolve my boot crisis but I went to order DS a couple of jumpers and found this in pewter. Oh well at least there isn't anything else I like!

I always set out hating everything but then they have a way of becoming ok the more I look at them. V bad.

I agree about the prints. Why do they have to be so huge and bright? The trouble is that nobody else seems to do dresses on/under the knee and not in polyester.

Got navy jersey dress today and defo keeping it. Thanks for the code.
