The OP asked for something funky -- that and Boden in same sentance would be something of an oxymoron, surely?

I got the M&S knitted dress here in grey. Bought it a size up and it is very flattering, incredibly comfortable and I got lots of compliments when I wore it for work do. (Am 39 btw). Wore it with black opaques, big bright chunky beads and flat pumps (would have worn with flat knee boots, but haven't got any yet).
