Are Boden now taking style 'inspiration' from Per Una?

[101handbags]

Denim Shirt with pink rose print, anyone?

Per Una is all vile flouncy, flilly, bits stuck on, bad design horrible ness! However I love Limited Collected....

Some of their skirts look ok in the outdoor photos but they all look awfully frumpy in the studio shots. Methinks the latter is the more realistic representation.

Give Per Una a break, if you squint you wouldn't think this or this is Per Una.
It looks almost high end, give or take the odd legacy piece.
(Plus didn't mint already have its moment?)
I really think they have let go of some of their staff

Disclaimer: I own nothing from either Per Una or Boden.

I find it odd that Boden for women is getting more and more ridiculous while Mini Boden is getting better. Mini Boden has shedloads of nice dresses/smock tops etc, while the women's patterns are more revolting every year.

I think a lot of it is awful. I still get stuff for ds but that's about it. I'm too old for shapeless t-shirt material "jersey" stuff and I'm clearly the wrong shape.

I'm 5ft 6" and a pear shaped 10 st 6lbs.

I wonder where the real women's clothes are if you're on a budget and want cardis and stuff that isn't over priced and looks washed out after 3 washes?! Not at Boden, that's for sure.

DOESN'T look washed out, after 3 washes!!

I match you and raise you with an irresistible offering from Long Tall Sally's new catalogue

No cleavage?! The boden wrap dresses would have my boobs hanging out completely without the help of a safety pin or a vest underneath.
