every flaming season i do this, i think "ooh i quite like this xxxxx from boden, i wonder if it would look lovely on me?"

[Tutter]

this time it's

this top (the 'loose fitting' description appeals to my postnatal [darn it i can't use him as an excuse any longer can I?] tummy)

and this looks as though it would be useful [old]

and \link{http://www.boden.co.uk/col.asp?segname=Women&styid=WA191&segid=6&gpname=Shirts+%26+Woven+Tops& desname=Fun+Button+Kaftan&gpid=28&gen=1#imgthis surely would be a good poolside item?}

you see, i am just so not a boden person, but they make me think i am, damn them

"anything called 'fun' requires a wide berth"

Such as this latest "fun" offering:
ha ha ha ha
Well it brightened up an otherwise dull afternoon for me anyway.

I did two orders last week, about £200 worth of sale stuff. Sent back about £150

But the other stuff is lovely

Am trying again after having sent back nearly all the stuff I ordered for me! is doing a three for four thing so am trying the "new" everyday summer dress in cobalt blue and red and a couple of the kaftans, despite the twee "fun" label. We'll see!

Boden fabric quality always terrible. And Johnnie is afraid of breasts.

Those annoying stupid 'descriptions' in the book always put me off the clothes. I prefer great plains.

but boden staples that are well cut and good quality are worth every penny.

I have a couple of thier plain dresses for work and often get comments.

Oh and this is divine on.

thank you thank you everyone, particularly SVK. Just saved me ordering many dollars worth of stuff. In fact last time I ordered stuff I gave 80 of it away.

He IS afraid of breasts isn't he?

look here Johnny if you are lurking, peep through your fingers and LOOK

this too

BBBeee I have just put that dress in my shopping bag but in black.

would it suit slim hips and bignorks? Whaddya reckon?

OMG my eyes my eyes

Suzy please stop with the links

she needs a bigger bikini that girl

this thread has helped me to resist the inevitable order-hope-wait-unwrap-sulk

but then again, maybe missblythe's cardigan recommendation might just ...

I ordered a coat last autumn and the buttons fell off within 48 hours...seriously 4 buttons fell off, and it was NOT cheap.

I've stopped looking because the quotes are so annoying.

'Favourite part of spring...freshly mown grass' etc etc

KNOB OFF!!!!

right
based on all these comments and my own past experiences I shall not be ordering

take notice Johnny

I want some little skirts for my girls

but they are called skorts or some shite and it put me right off

skirts with shorts attached = skorts? Not on my planet Johnny boy

Now my girls would like those, as they tend to spend the summer hanging upside down on their trapezes and don't like their knickers showing!

yes I agree

I had one from Gap from eons ago and it has lasted both of them 2 summers

I may be forced to order a skort [spits]

lovely

in fact on my profile I think dd2 has the Gap one on

LOL

dd2 has handmedown skorty thing (in jersey though, which somehow works iykwim) that is very practical and comfy, from gap

oh they're jersey, that's fine

But at the number of weeks you've got to wait for 'em! Summer will be over by then.

is that what 11 means?

11 weeks wait???!!!!

I thought it said 3

I had a skort once. (not Boden)

Looked good on the model.

I lo like a scary hockey teacher. Seriously, people backed away from me in the street.

But I'm sure its ok if you are little

I LOOKED like a scary hockey teacher..

is skort the new trendy word then is it?

and has anyone got any promo codes for Neal's yard Please

and OO when are you coming over ffs? Hmmmmm?
