I have the Boden skirt under jackanddianes instruction. Even dh who really doesn't get excited about clothes came out with an emphatic 'oh yes' when I modelled it. I ordered both lengths but haven't even bothered trying the long on as reg is perfect. Apart from that shopping is tedious atm. I have money to burn on work clothes but refuse to buy beige nothingness

Another fan of the Boden skirt here - mine arrived today and I am a little bit in love. Tried it with denim shirt, striped top and a black cami with chunky knit cardigan so far and all go really well with it. I got the black But am tempted to also get the striped one.

Still looking for plain, long sleeved Ts in cotton or linen. I just want them to hang nicely, not cling, not have too high or low a neckline and to keep their shape for more than two washes. And not white, black, navy or pale grey (don't suit me).

Looks like I'll have to take out a bank loan and head for Toast again.

I love that Boden skirt. I've got both the plain ones, worn the black for work, not worn the navy yet and toying with the stripes for casual. Is everyone just wearing it with a plain tee? I'm rubbish at putting things together...

JackandDiane · 30/04/2016 17:43

Sorry - these but in black - look great with a plain trouser suit too if you are running around a lot

What are you wearing on top JackandDiane? Just a navy tshirt? I'm really crap, I basically need a picture to copy completely and unfortunately there's no styling of the stripy one on Boden. That said I don't plan to wear the navy one with a shirt open to the navel......

JackandDiane · 30/04/2016 17:54

for work with the striped one i got a t shirt hold on

I wore this with the black with heels for work but was thinking more casual with the stripes. I've got a long sleeved boden wrap and it's nice but it's really low cut - is that one? I don't really want to have to wear a top underneath. Or show my two years of breastfeeding sad flap boobs to the world.

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 30/04/2016 18:02

What size for uniqlo top? I am 10ish on top

JackandDiane · 30/04/2016 18:02
