new Boden catalogue arrived this am and it's...

[hatwoman]

...awful. It is so square. knee length shapeless skirts with shapeless tops that are so wide of the "quirky but works" combination" mil-type tops that make a model look like she's got a girt big tum and "tea dresses" that need no scathing description

good job they make up for it with their priceless captions: "Oh me, oh my, this is going to look beyond fabulous on." ferk off.

OOh, you're right! Very middle of the road...

I had a browse online and thought is wasn't very nice and it is getting really expensive for what it is. MIL has pintuck skirt as does my mum!

The tankinis are lovely fabrics, mind.

It is very safe this season but judging by the number of catalogues I got from them in December, perhaps sales are doooowwwwwn and they think middle of the road will sell better. I think they're wrong but anyway.

They are horrid, especially the skirts. Very shapeless.

I'll take two of these!

Maidamess...remember the Sound Of Music when Maria makes clothes for the children out of curtains...

Vile

Have just seen some things i do like though.

this

and and this

this is nice but you could get it for £30 cheaper in Primark

Princess, I like that spotty dress, altho I am a bit suspicious of a model who has to look blurry in a picture.

yes I thought the pic was a bit strange. they are usually so clear.

I like lots but dislike a load too.

I can't afford any of it though

I prefer H and m and primark really.

Yes agree,normally like Boden but this all looks very marks and spencers1

marks and spencers c.1990

Also most of the things I have brought in the past have faded,shrunk or looked much cheaper material than one would have expected for the price.

I think that last link is too smaart for everyday dossing. imo.

Don't like any skirts but like the knitted Tunics.Have had some from the Autumn range and have worn them loads.
Sometimes find Boden sort of grows on me,don't like alot to begin with but change my mind as the season progresses...
Not sure that will happen this time though...

I like the tea dress and the denim shirt dress.
I bought some knickers for dd and she loves them!!

Most of it is a bit drippy though, unless you are mad for flowers!

I like all the same things as PrincessMel. What size are you PM? Maybe we could go halves?
So far I have two catalogues - one yesterday and one today. I expect about five within the next fortnight. Why do they do this? Surely one is enough?

I have cancelled my catalogue today as I am fed up with getting so many. There is nothing different in there from the website anyway. Should save a tree or ten!!
