Okay so I sent all the Boden stuff back (£450 worth eeek!) and ordered Hobbs - have I done the right thing?

Hobbs had a 15% off flash sale so I ordered

I'm a mum of two - had DD2 in May (and although am back to pre preg weight my body shape is definately different) am 5ft 8 and a size 10 on bottom and size 8 on top.
Despite this I rarely find clothes that suit me, I've got really small shoulders and upper body. These are the most grown up things I think I've bought; I work from home you see!

Tbh I wouldn't pay anywhere near that much for a pair of skinny jeans, when Topshop and M&S do perfectly good ones for £40 or even half that.

Hobbs t-shirts tend to be quite decent quality, so worth paying a bit more for.

Don't like the shoes, sorry.

I wasn't sure of them, but Remus but I have a feeling they will actually work with quite a bit of my wardrobe. I have Top Shop jeans - but a friend has a pair from NW3 and she said they kept their shape really well. And I fancied a treat as most of my days are spent in sports wear, I'll probably never buy a suit again.

I quite like the shoes.

I like the shoes too.

Agree that NW3 jeans are good - but both Hobbs themselves and Atterley Rd have them on sale for around £35 at the mo. Coloured though :)

Have to just chip in to tell of my experience with Hobbs/ NW3 jeans... They are great on first wear, that's about it, ime (same for me with Whistles!) I wore several pairs once only and they were never the same after the first wash - they seemed to 'grow' :(

Oh yes they do grow - size down!

My NYDJ's grew too - that's why I would never buy jeans online.

I love the top.
