Starting here! Hello all

Ahh Never, you are naughty and have 'hushenabled' me once again
I had been toying with the caro top and it looks fabulous on you! Off to Majorca for a week on Saturday so hope it will be here in time.
When you posted the pic of you up thread with the leopard maxi I realised I have the exact same outfit (are you wearing with the M&S vest?) Woodstock sandals too.

Thanks Ella yes I’m keeping the leopard and returning the white skirt.
Hope your bra fitting goes well this weekend it’ll be a complete revelation I promise you and Bravissimo fitters are superb!
I’m a 34FF or 32G depending on the brand, it just didn’t make sense being so slim that you would be a 36 back size. The “girls” will thank you and you’ll look fabulous with a proper fitting bra we promise!

Fthe leopard print dress from New Look is very flattering on. There are plenty in the stores just not on line.

Oh hello chaps.... Brayebrook trainers £40!!!!!. I sent these back a while ago because I couldnt justify the price.. I know I said yesterday that the Dune ones were better but actually they are not at this price.. ive now ordered both colours

Oh, how are they for bunion addled feet? Is there a free working delivery code?

Each I remember they were a bit on the large side but if you order over 50 (add the merino scarf at 15 and just send back what you dont want) its free delivery anyway. Returns are free

Ive bought the REN beauty bag as thats a bargain. Im tempted by the beaded bag but i dont know if i will get my wear out of it.

Damm you laska I hadn’t spotted the trainers till you mentioned (sitting on hands here)
Each I’ll get the Love clutch in the post tomorrow so can report back, it was in my wish list for months and I’ve always liked it thinking it would be a versatile eve clutch for all seasons but specially this time of year and I like that it has a chain so you can be hand free if you like...I’ll report back!

Good buy @laska.And 2 for the price of one! I really quite like the cut out ones but find i dont like light trainers much.

....
Sorry

Im going to a wedding in September i thought that Love clutch would be nice but ive no idea what im wearing yet.

I bought the striped aimes as if anything they will be good to go to work in (i wear a uniform) and for yoga.

I must go I have a cat to catch and but in the carrier. Shes giving me evils already.

I figure this is probably the right place to ask about hush returns- is it still free if it’s all sale items. Just about to put my first every order in....

Not that I know of. It’s annoying really.

I think you might have to pay for returns of sale items. If this helps use this https://hush.mention-me.com/me/referee/registerko/22779948/98079567/er/0d98db98c4e750141b19fed4654c461414bd84cb/fe/cw?epr=1 for £10 off your order

Sorry everyone - not Hush (yet, still waiting for my Hush order) but these are my two Boden dresses that arrived today. Can I have honest thoughts? I thought I’d like be the green one but actually I think I prefer the blue and white one. But then I’m not sure I need anymore dresses. Also not sure on what shoes I’d wear with either so any suggestions would be appreciated. You can’t really see the pattern properly on the green dress in the pictures but it’s actually really nice, just not sure if it’s not a very flattering shape on me.

Ah no! I’d already put my order in! But thank you. I went for the braebrook trainers. I desperately wanted them last year at full price but couldn’t justify them. And the amie striped joggers- the person upthread looked great in them. And the oversized babydoll dress. Pretty excited!!

Ella I prefer the more fitted blue dress, the green one is nice but it’s not ‘ooh lovely dress’ ifykwim think both you could wear pretty sandals or more casual flip flop type with the blue dress.

Think the green one looks a bit big on the hips, I find that a lot with boden dresses.

Blue is more casual looking Ella. I think I like the green on you better, but is it for anything in particular?.. if its something more formal id say the green. The blue dress definitely says 'Boden' to me and the green doesnt ..
I like them both on you but the blue looks more 'everyday dress' to me .

Ive ordered 4 pairs of trainers in the last two days.. but I wont be keeping them all...probably only one pair

Thanks len. I agree it's a bit shapeless, it just feels a bit boring to be honest!
I think I'll probably keep the blue and white one, it looks a lot nicer in the flesh. Doesn't go with these wedges though. I have a nice pair of silver sandals I'll probably wear with it.

Laska yes the blue one was more just for summer wear (although summer seems to have disappeared) and the green one I was thinking would be more for drinks or dinner out in the summer. I do like the green one it's just I thought it would have a bit more 'oomph' to it iykwim.

I agree. Tbh, I think the green one is a bit shapeless. You have a lovely figure but it doesn't do anything for it. It is just ok. Its not terrible or anything. I do think its a bit 'old' for you as you are young! The blue one suits your figure very much.

Thanks - I'm keeping the blue. Just tried it with silver sandals and it looks nice, also looks good with denim jacket. It'll get much more wear and is more 'me' tbh.
I'd keep both but I think the green would sit in my wardrobe and never get worn and I want to save my pennies for autumn Hush now!
Looking forward to my Caro top.
Never did you order the Seasalt mac?

Blue one Ella all the way 👍 really looks fab on you and I think the white sandals you’re wearing with the green one would also suit it?
Talking of Johnnie I had a parcel too today, mainly new swimwear and shirts for DH (I like to share the fashion love, I’m his official “dresser” ) while I was at it I ordered a few things to try...suffice to say it’s all going back except for a plain long sleeved silk shirt in lipstick pink which I’m keeping for work. For the last few seasons this is literally all I’ve kept from Boden: silk shirts which are good value in the sale...I don’t suit their dress shapes because I’m top heavy and narrow hipped, even their trousers which used you be fairly reliable have grown enormous thighs lately so I have lots of spare fabric where it shouldn’t be

On the bright side I was on the lookout for new trainers and laska I’ll blame you if I end up keeping the baby blue braebrooks

Thanks soyo - I think a decent fitting bra will also help with the blue dress! I'm really noticing now how badly fitting my bras are! Looking forward to my bra shopping this weekend (don't worry everyone I won't be posting any pictures )
