Lordy - Boden spring preview

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Johnnie just emailed - its here for anyone interested

I actually quite like the look of this on the model, but up close the colour is all washed out and wrong, and that material mings. My mum picks up things made from that in Jaques Vert:

snigger at receivership

the red one looks like youve left the sleeves out in the sun too long

I am that Johnnie wants me to spring preview without even full filling my aw order FROM 7 WEEKS AGO

Yes the spring preview is truly dire what a step backwards from AW12. The only thing I vaguely like is the Highbury dress but otherwise the dresses are just so frumpy beyond words and they look cheaply made ! And same old spotty plimsolls are back and if I see any more striped t shirts and hoodies I will scream.

its all vile

you could all do alot better

I ordered the Off Duty Sweatshirt and a selection of trousers in the hope that one of the pairs of trousers might actually fit me this time, plus a few other bits to the total of nearly £300 [hshock]. If its anything like the AW stuff I'll probably only end up keeping one piece.
But the Hotch Potch stuff, thought there was something wrong with my iPad [hconfused]. Perhaps they are economising and using up all the left over fabric.

Ah, the Prep School Mothers' Uniform Shop has released its Spring Term clothing into the community. Agree with what others have said, Winter was much better. I flicked through the catalogue this morning and bar one shirt I thought it was pretty grim. Because I have too much time on my hands this afternoon and am avoiding work I did a quick tot up of all the things I've ordered from Boden in the past (some thirty items) and realise that I've only kept seven of them because they're always a peculiar shape (or I am) or they are in some way disappointing/frumpy (again, could be me that makes them so...in fact that's quite possible).

What about the button back jumper? This made DH roar with laughter - it's just selling a cardigan that has been put on back to front! WTF?

I'm an hourglass shape and soooo little works for me from Boden. If you're a boyish shape - or an apple/pear.

Johnnie seems to think that no one has a waist any more - and gawd knows I've tried to tell him several times in his online surveys (Methinks I should get a life)

it's just selling a cardigan that has been put on back to front!
Exactly! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that one!
Just wear your existing cardis back to front if you want to save money (and look bonkers)

Ha ha Pretzeltime. So glad you thought that too !

Oh dear. Nothing here at all. What a bizarre palette of colours Johnnie has ransacked? At 58 I'm not his immediate audience, but usually something is acceptable.

That Amelia stripey dress I saw in Australia in 2009, and it looks shit, though it WAS on woman with big norks. Not a good look. Milkmaid-ish.

Has Boden recruited Edda because she looks like Kirsten Dunst?

Oh this WAS a good op. ;)

The only thing if consider is the pink check shirt for work.

I love my blue Cambridge shirt lasr season. (Where's that Johnny?!)
Slim fit even on boobs

It's very #borgen. ;)

Blue, I agree! i have a waist Johnny!!! A WAIST!

My boyish figured friends look nice in Boden though

Right. Gimme the code. I'm going in for the shirt.

I've only seen a 10% code and I want more than that to order 2 things for DD.

Nothing tempting me I must say and also having done a massive clear out of my wardrobe yesterday there is nothing from boden in my new streamlined version.

i saw someone lolling at the button back jumper

I liek the pink! i do i do.

mind you i have something similar but green wool and men/boys always have to make the same gag

Isn't uncomfortable to lean against a chair/sofa in that Maureen?
And what sort of gag would that be (Do I want to know?)

oh you know - youve got your jumper on back to front

OMG I was hoping for a good laugh but most of your links above aren't working for me - I'm only getting the generic preview page
I needed a laugh too
