Does the new Boden catalogue make anyone else want to kill themselves?

[monkeytrousers]

It's my own fault for getting it I know. But I doubt I'll ever be able to afford anything from it, all the lovely skirts and shirts and sweaters and winter coats. And all the lovely buffed facialed skin and styled hair.

It would probably help if I got out of my pj's.

and sat up straight

and pulled my tummy in

and went for a jog

Baaawwwlllllll!

Hobbs! Sob!

You lucky soul.

the toast look - greasy plaits and a diet of potatoes.

whassat?

I get the catalogue and thought that the clothes looked abit rough actually.

Hallo MT

Some of the Toast clothes would look at home on the set of Oliver Twist.

I tried to get on the Hobbs website yesterday but its under reconstruction -boo hoo!

Cupcakes-you are so right. if i wanted to look like a 19th century Polish potato picker, I would buy my clothes from Toast.

Think Boden's new woman's collection is very disappointing. Like childrens clothes but also hate braying middle class types who often where them. They set my teeth on edge.

"Wear" not "Where" Doh!

What do you think will be nicest for dd:
duffle coat in green with pink lining
or
cord duffle in brown

The daft model poses and the silly text makes me larf, but I like the stuff, especially for the boys - it's brighter, more interesting and better quality than other stuff. It is quite expensive but I have 3 boys so it works for me because it lasts well enough to hand down.

I've bought the odd thing for me. A lot of the women's stuff I wouldn't touch with a bargepole but some of it's nice.

Dh wouldn't be seen dead in the men's stuff.

I like them both but prefer the green one with pink lining - it's a bit different and I like bright colours for the winter months.

ditto dh - he laughs uproariously if I even try to glance in the menswear section.

The brown one, just had a look at the first one in the catalogue and I don't like the look of it tbh.

I love the colour too - but it's dry clean only and the brown one is machine washable. And cheaper.

fimbo - is it the colour or the style you don't like?

Malory - i totally agree about that Boden skirt. It is lovely but I have one almost identical from Tesco!!

I do look like the Boden model (albeit with frizzy hair)....

I get my stuff from Gap, H&M, or Asda, although Gap is by far the best stuff. Dd1 wears it, then it is handed down to dd2 and then passed to a charity shop (in fact it is currently in a big bin bag in my wardrobe).

Oh I didn't look at it that closely!! I'd go for the brown with blue spots then - deffo swayed by price and washability!!
