who is "Boden woman" do you think?

[DillyTantay]

what is her name
where does she live
what does she eat
what car dos she have

and wears endless scarves

I think I like your description best LaurieFairycake!

I quite like some Boden, as (help turning into my mother its well made) but it does make me smile when I see the catalogue posed in oh so lovely nice leafy well heeled places like kensington and chelsea (or near the second country homes of people who live in places like this) when everyday I drive past the huge metal Boden warehouse on an industrial estate on the outskirts of Leicester. Still great finish on the seams!

if the short fat etc, post had been put on Primark woman it would have been tutted at as cruel double standards a go go

Boden woman can't possibly be short - their skirts and trousers are too long for us shorties!

TBH, I'm a little bit fed up with the Boden-bshing going on at the moment.

We all have choices, and it's the differences in style which make us all individuals. So what if wearing Boden makes you aspirational? So what if wearing Primark makes you tight? Who really cares? Too many people here it seems.

FWIW, I don't think there is a Boden woman or a Primark woman, and to suggest that there is is just being nasty and stereotypical.

eve, you dont have to read this thread! its just for fun. and you are the last person to talk about nastyness after your comments about awful people wearing next clothes!!

Her, as I said earlier, I can't see what's wrong with saying I don't wish to look like everyone else.

Next isn't epscially cheap, and there was no snottiness intended. You took it that I was being arsey and nasty when I'm not at all.

ruby how true.... thats why its so astonishingly accurate. shame some cant see the funny sid of it.

Yes, because we are all so happy with beiunbg labelled aren't we?

eve have you got up at 6am to argue about boden?

lady
get out more

Nah, I was up that early because my darling babies woke at that time.

I get out plenty thanks.

come on eve it all just in jest. relax.

I have 2 pairs of awful Boden wedges in my pongy shoe cupboard which are soon going to the tip . That's the only Boden I've ever owned, or intend to own

what shoes or boots?

Boden catalogue: barf.

Boden clothes: yes please.

They're just clothes. Made out of fabric with arms and legs. Apart from the applique and the hotchpotch, you'd have to have an expert eye to spot it.

I don't 'wear Boden' any more than I 'wear Next' or 'wear Primark'.

But like most women, I love clothes, I love shopping and I buy clothes from heaps of different places.

And I do live in Morningside, but I don't have kids - far less in private education

shoe wedges, one red polka dot (what was I thinking) one lumpen brown and cream stripe. They depress me everytime I open my shoe cupboard

This thread is genius! Thank you...

I shop at Oxfam, Save the children, Shelter, Boden, George, Hobbs, Monsoon, Fat Face, Gap, M&S, Sainsnurys, Matalan, Warehouse.....

I really want a wicker basket and panniers for my bike - that's quite Boden

G&T: I love your bonfire night scenario, so apt. Whenever I see these sort of spreads in Sainsbury's magazine and the like I'm always filled with pathos at the plight of stressed mums up and down the line whose soiree really didn't live up to expectations.

'Fingerless gloved hands cupping a steming mug of hot chocolate'..... thats such a great summming up of mag cliche land. LOL

Oh man, I love that Isle of Boden thing, especially Johnie's attempt at multiculturalism "Favourite things to do on a Sunday ... 10. Go to church/synagogue/mosque/chapel". Someone should tell him the main days for synagogues and mosques are not Sundays. Oh Johnnie.

Johnny likes ' sunset over the smoking shed'...

We ask ourselves -

is he on crack?

is he doing fish?

wtf is a smoking shed?

I can't buy a cardi until I know these things.

ha never read that isle of boden thing. ahhh the irony in "people trying really hard"

john peel at a johnnie boden dinner party....now there's a thought!
