Boden ravello top

Just ordered some more as they're my "over heated room work place" staple.
I'm toying between the two bird ones. Grey or navy. Son says he likes both but I fear two bird tops might make me look nuts.

Anyone bothered to opine?

grey at a push but I don't particularly like the birds pattern!! I do like the ravello top though

BiggerYellowTaxi · 19/09/2014 18:26

I really like the grey one.

MilkThistle187 · 19/09/2014 18:28

Not mad about the prints, a very useful top though

Was expecting this to be some naff swallow type print but I actually love it! Grey just edges it for me.

Grey gets my vote!

I think grey too, but only by a smidge.

I've done the 'I like it so much I'll buy it in both colours' thing before. I never wore the 2nd one much. Dunno why, but I didn't.

I prefer the grey too. Kinda hoped s1 would agree. Grr pesky kids.

Not normally a boden print gal. The other top I love is the rosalyn one. Or rosamund. In kingfisher

I'm desperate to find a ravello from last winter when the sleeves were slightly fluted. In ivory. I wore that to death.

Here's the rosa thing. Lovely.

Are they really worth 50 squid?

Not at all sure about the birds. I don't mind daft prints on a skirt, but norkage and daft prints not great, I don't think. I like the navy leopard print.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/09/2014 19:01

Why do you care what sons think? They won't be wearing it!

They often are right tbh.
I find in the winter I often need something to contrast with all the plain stuff I have. and that's not stripes ;)

Order them all and report back (but especially the leopard)!

I've bought the leopard top. Not ravello. It's lovely. And pleasingly loose on ye old tum

That's lovely!

Grey, the bird colours on the blue are too garish.

You're right. Was going to drag self to finbars house tomorrow to parade. Now no need.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/09/2014 20:09

That's nice but the one I like is this Ravello one

Finbar · 19/09/2014 20:15

I have wine ....Grin

Windowbasket · 19/09/2014 20:27

I ordered the grey but when it arrived I was disappointed with the quality so sent it back.

ThisBitchIsResting · 19/09/2014 20:36

I don't like them, I don't have boobs though so that shape just doesn't work on me at all. They look mumsy to me
