Is this the start of a slippery slope

A slippery slope to what or where? Having tanned legs? Grin

Think it is love. I'm so sorry but it looks like your a Boden Gal now. Sad

It's a brave new world however so maybe there is a chance for you to redeem yourself yet Grin

You brought skinny last week from topshop then boden shorts? Well there you are, you are saved the two actions cancel each other out! Grin

I’m 30 and I love Boden, especially their dresses. I’m not old!

ItMustBeBedtimeSurely · 27/03/2018 09:20

Doomed to what? Owning shorts?

I hate to say this but... unless they've got a 'ditsy' pattern on them or a great big Boden logo on the bum, no one will ever know! It's a bit like going up a size or two in swimwear - unless you wear it inside out, no one's any the wiser but they will probably notice how great you look. If your Boden shorts make you feel fab or are just lovely and comfy and practical then they are doing the basic job of being functional clothing. Who cares where they are from? If you start dressing head-to-toe in Boden and laughing for no reason (can't understand what all those models find so funny), then you need to worry.

Swimming you just made me lol !!

I have been contemplating Boden shorts. Which length did you get? How is the sizing?

LucreziaBoredYa · 27/03/2018 18:10

Yep. Doomed to bland middle-class hell for all eternity Grin.

chloechloe · 27/03/2018 18:41

Yes doomed if you bought the ones from the latest catalogue with the scalloped hem Grin

I currently have a full online basket waiting for a discount code and I can't say it's all for the kids. Looks like I'm doomed too!

LardLizard · 27/03/2018 18:46

Haha, knew you’d get me
Nah didn’t go for the scalloped edged ones
Hat will be me ina. A few more years 🙈🙈
Went for the Richmond ones
Tbh I suppose I was expecting the sizing to be very generous
But I’d say it’s about right

So I'm old,I love the scallop edge ones but I have enormous thighs do the probably would not be loose
