Boden seems to have changed their returns again. Parcel I got today only has a DPD label in it. That’s a bit annoying as my nearest dpd shop is 25 miles away, whereas we have both hermes and a PO in the co-op in the village.

I have been googling the white jeans/dark sweater in winter thing after Soy mentioned it. It’s not anything I would ever have tried but it does look quite elegant. I’m going home at w/e for a dental check up, and I’m wondering about liberating my white jeans from their vac-pac and seeing if I can get a bit more wear out of them. My mum will not be impressed though. According to her, it’s not appropriate from September to May.

Cherries I thought of you today, saw a woman in the GP surgery who had a very dark denim/thick cotton wide leg trousers, with a funky grey tshirt & really well cut black short jacket & jazzy black & white trainers she looked so stylish.

That's rubbish cherries I don't know if we have one here either

Laska5772 · 23/10/2018 15:31

Boden website still has address for return s I'd email or call them

SoyYo · 23/10/2018 15:40

cherries do it! The white jeans/dark jumper combo thing and if your mum doesn’t like it you can tell her it was that “foreign” friend who said It’s all the rage in the Med in winter darling! Grin
Seriously I think it’s a super stylish and unusual combo (but I AM foreign 🤣)

How annoying re Boden returns, I’ll have the same issue as you if they’ve changed to DPD only. Luckily I have lots of old return labels stashed away for PO returns

ilovecherries · 23/10/2018 15:53

I need to check if the address is the same, as I have lots of PO and Hermes ones as well - I got caught about 18 months ago when they changed their warehousing and I sent masses of stuff to the wrong place. Being Boden, they did just sort it for me, but I had a bit of a gulp moment.

Ooh I just googled white jeans in winter and who knew I was such a closet fashionista? Tbh in my country it has been a “thing” for donkeys years and I have worn white denim in winter but only on sunny winter days in GB as the mud splatter risk potential is high.
Lots of ideas here

Boden leopard has just arrived!......back soon

ilovecherries · 23/10/2018 16:43

len, that’s certainly the look I aspire to, I think. Having lurched about with what my style is since I lost weight, I think that’s where I’m headed. Soy, you are cutting edge Halloween Grin

First impressions are pretty good, don’t feel swamped, neat style and still roomy enough to put a jumper underneath with plenty room.
Fur soft and strokeable.
Lovely silky lining and pockets.

Will I wear it? Yes I think so and it would look better with black skinnies but just threw it on I was so excited to see and feel.

ilovecherries · 23/10/2018 16:55

Nice! It looks a gorgeous jacket.

OP posts:
SoyYo · 23/10/2018 16:56

It’s got a fairly small lapel so don’t feel it overemphasises my assets...I think it’s a thumbs up as it feels super cozy on and as it’s short it can be worn informally every day.
Opinions? The camel colour which was my worry is toned down by a lot of darker brown and black in the spots.
Do I channel my inner Bet Lynch?
Yeay or Nay? Wink

SoyYo · 23/10/2018 17:01

It’s all your fault cherries not
What will I do if I also like the Sosander snow leopard!??
I’ll let DH decide which one he likes best if I can’t make up my mind...

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:04

It looks gorgeous @soyo
Hope your dm is ok @laskaFlowers

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:05

Noone is commenting on the new hush? Or did i miss it?

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:05

Not that much of interest.

SoyYo · 23/10/2018 17:07

Really never and cherries?
Please do say if you don’t think it looks good on but it’s so cozy and strokeable I think my search for a fur coat may just may be over...

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:07

A few black dresses that are unexciting.

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:08

I love it

SoyYo · 23/10/2018 17:09

We did upthread never I like the Aurora jumper, RocknRoll clutch (as I would) and blue fur scarf (as I would too) and laska has ordered the fab velvet puffa just to see Wink

dontcallmelen · 23/10/2018 17:10

Ooh Soy I like it, a good length as well.

SoyYo · 23/10/2018 17:15

Thank You! I’m off to Pilates soon with a Smile on my face.
Laters!

neveradullmoment99 · 23/10/2018 17:17

Sorry. At work all day and in the car catching up. Dh is driving of course. Will read back. Late to the party!
