why do people on here love boden, when it's middle aged crap?

[BodyBagBastard]

over priced fuddy duddy rubbish.

Mmmm, that top from the earlier thread is feminine, girly and sexy all at the same time, isn't it

I hate Boden, think most of it is too fussy and too expensive for what it is.
Is quite hard to find decent clothese for women in their 30s plus though.
I shop at H&M, Monsoon, Gt Plains, Phase Eight, Top Shop, Principles etc but it's a struggle to find things I really like.

I buy quite a bit for dd as it is good quality, I often sell it on ebay when she has finished and put the money towards new clothes.

I buy staples from boden for myself and can assure you that I love fashion.

As others have said I would never wear it all from head to toe and always get compliments on my clothes.

I love the children's stuff - it's such lovely quality.

I don't particularly like the adult clothing though - it's bland. It's Next for the Bunting Cupcake middle classes.

I do admit however to buying their green dress with big cream spots last summer for a last minute wedding outfit. Plus I have a couple of their bags.

It is expensive though - I am amazed at how the prices seem to have gone up quite steeply this season too... perhaps Johnnie believes Boden is recession proof? Probably is, actually....

Come on then Bodybag, answer the question - where do you buy your feminine girly sexy clothes?

I would consider my style to be feminine sexy girly with a classic twist tbh

I suppose Boden is like anywhere really, you can mix and match their things.
What I dont like is their signature fussy/patterned clothes whcih are very obviously Boden, I like my clothes to look a bit more anonymous/hard to place.

She's keeping quiet, Moose. I wonder what shop I'd get if I googled 'feminine sexy girly'?!

Karen Millen is sexy/girly but I find it a bit tarty too.

hang on i'll link a few things
btw i do not have that top i was joking

Ugh, Karen Millen is far too 'footballers wives'. Now that is overpriced crap imo.

Mmm I think KM is a bit footballers' wives tbh. And hideously over-priced.

X posts! lol

KM in difficulties, I heard.

Yes I agree re Karen Millen being wagish, I never shop there but it does aim for sexy (aka tarty).
Cant think of another high st shop which does "sexy".

Useless fact: I have never been inside a Karen Millen shop in 20 years of dedicated trudging on the high street.

here

really?

yes really

Hmmm tbh I'm not sure about that BodyBag, it's a bit Kelly Osborne.

What about daywear though bodybag?

EXACTLY! I too thought Kelly Osbourne at that link!!!

Every day?

Sorry BB - prefer Boden stuff to that dress and you could hardly do the school run, go to work or go to Sainsbos in it!

x-post MSB

Great minds and all that Lynette! Although IIRC you are also the one who likes Boden Brad and that is where you and I part company
