scoop neck (NOT v-neck) long sleeved cotton t-shirts/ knit tops-- where????

[oregonianabroad]

PLEASE.

hmm i spent £55 on a boden jumper which was handwash only. i dutifully complied but it is awfully bobbly and i am cross.

Fishie -- agree re: cheapness. But policywonk, bought Boden to avoid cheapness and have just posted back 2 jumpers that went all pilly and shapeless after only a few weeks. very, very disappointed that 'money-saving investment type' shopping splurge went so wrong!

x post with fishie now.

No - I don't work in anything to do with fashion, sadly. I think my dream job would be as a personal shopper - spending other people's money. I'm just OK at finding links to things.

Some of the less sweatery things at Principles aren't bad - the green, charcoal, silver and ivory ones. The orange one, on the other hand, I really hate.

fishie, if you have the packing slip send it back! It says 3 months no quibble.

OB - honest, the plain scoop necks wear well - I'm no Boden fiend (can't afford to be) but I bought a black scoop-neck from there in the autumn and have washed and tumble-dried it loads, and it still looks good.

That orange one would make me look like I was still expecting.

But now I am lusting after the grey boots that are half price -- this must stop!

PS It's viscose/elastane, so no pilling.

Policywonk, do you mean the jersey one or the knit one?

INterestingly, my father has a theory that more expensive knits like cashmere tend to pill more quickly than cheap acrylic. At the moment, everything I buy, whether cheap or expensive, seems to disintigrate immediately.

this one

Mind you, they're only selling them in rubbish colours ATM so you might have to wait until the sale is over? Don't understand how Boden works...

I like this one from uniglo

would obv need a vest under

xl would fit an 18

I have ordered from them ,really fast delivery and great quality.

Jeans are fab as well

your dad is dead right, that boden jumper has angora in it. i'd rather have some good old nylon.

Thanks ladies! Am off to sleep on it.
