I've just bought:
this boden dress will wear with a cardigan and navy tights and brown boots until it's warmer- then breton navy top under it.

gap neutral trousers- wearing with dark slouchy jumper now, then bright/pastel tees when it's warmer

oasis red jeans again slouchy dark jumpers now, white and black tees in the summer

oasis cardigan looks lovely over the boden dress and with the red jeans.

Got a ton of brightly coloured and neutral long and short sleeved t-shirts already to go with everything.

Oh I really like all of those, can I be nosy and ask what else have you bought recently? Your style really appeals me. I have lost (almost) 1.5 stone recently and am looking or a new style as I'm tired of hiding in jeans and baggy jumpers. Hope that's not too rude to ask if I can basically copy you Blush

Really flattered brafullofcrumbs! Not been shopping for ages cos like you I've been stuck in a style rut. I'm a small on top pear shape, around 5f 4 size 10/12, so I took a really stylish friend shopping with me and then bought the boden dress online after getting a better idea what suits me. I suit brights, esp red and greens, as well as black, navy and white. Thinking of also getting this:

in the navy to wear with the red trousers or leggings but it's more than I would usually spend...

Also considering this with a coloured/black or white top under, a thick belt and tights or leggings when it's warmer, but I want to try it on in store first.

I really like those too! I have bought a couple of dresses so far this and this I am large of nork and size 14 (was a 16-18 two months ago)

OoOh...I ordered that boden dress ages ago, still waiting for it. Love that cardi also. Bought a long light grey cardi from Zara & a stripy grey & White scarf off eBay to match. Sorry can't link because I'm on my phone now... Well done brafull for all your weight loss...I'm trying to get remotivated to continue my diet after pigging out on a wee break away, followed by several parties on my return... I lost 5kg since January....but then gained 2kg...sigh...

Love both those dresses brafullofbreadcrumbs, esp the next one- i bet it looks fab on! and well done iwilldothis, it's so hard to get motivated! I booked this shopping trip 6 weeks earlier (sorted babysitters for a whole day etc) and gave myself a 6 week deadline to get in shape. Since it was quite a short amount of time I stuck to it, and now I've got lovely clothes to motivate me not to overeat again!

Loving the links here too. Need to resist!!
I bought a lovely floral top in Tesco yesterday in an olive colour - have it already in black (I know drywhite...I'm like Jackie O but it was just £5 in the sale!)
Loving it today with a grey cardigan and black skinnies but looking forward to wearing in Summer too with coloured jeans or linen trousers. Sorry...wanted to link but it's not on the Tesco site anymore. :(

Sick can you tell me does your boden empire dress have a tie at the back? No photos of the back on the website.. Thanks
