Right ladies help me choose some new Boden gear!

[Clary]

I was given £70 (oooh) of Boden vouchers when I left my job in Nov - my sweet workmates! (I was made redundant so think they felt sorry for me!)

Anyway, I was hoping to get sthg in sale but there was almost literally nothing in my size or the DCs'.

So here we are in new offer and new catalogue land - what should I buy???

Hi clary

Don't go for the knitwear, there's alot of threads on here saying how they don't keep their shape/bobble. What do you need?

I still owe you a coffee I'm not fluffybunnygonebad any more.

Ah was toying with a tunic to wear with (ooh) leggings or even jeggings.

I see other people doing this so maybe it;s not toally mad!

Don't need a coat or a dress. Maybe a skirt for work (when I get a job ) or a couple of nice tops?

How are you anyway? Is DS still doing fine?

yes, agree with belle. i have a merino knitted tunic, but it's reeeeeeally bobbly already. am very disappointed

They have some white stuff tunics in the blue water shop on saddle gate, it's cheaper then boden.

The boden skirts are lush though. I'm not into jeggings. I tend to buy things I can wear for years IYSWIM.

I'm not bad thanks. In Uni at the moment so not as knackered as normal I have an appointment for March so I can beg for something to keep me awake. Things are not bad here, ds is happy at school which is great. His mouth does get him in a few pickles though but he has friends.

How was your xmas?

Can you send it back yesterday?

TiY that's a shame as I was looking at that merion tunic. Such nice colours...

Fluffy, yes Christmas was good, except I am out of a job so no money! But still, not had to go to work lately so that's always a bonus!

I'm so sorry to hear about your job Could you go freelance?

well not much freelance out there, sadly. Papers all cutting back and that's the first thing to go.

Am looking for something else, so far I have had three interviews (and one has gone on to a second) and another one next week so maybe one will be The One!

That sounds good, I shall keep my fingers crossed for you.

There's a thread on here about there being no reasonably priced childrens magazines

I think the knitwear is fine. TBH any thing made of wool bobbles in time. I have had M&S, Jigsaw, Kew and Boden stuff which bobbles.

I have a slouchy Boden cashmere jumper from last year ( sale) and it does not bobble at all.

The Boden summer cardis are much better than the winter ones. Less bobbling as more of a cotton mix. I have just got the favourite v neck cardigan in purple and it is lovely.

Thanks ladies for thoughts.

I may take a punt on merino tunic then. Not sure about fave cardi - I have 2 already (in brown and pink) but the new style is rather longer. Is it not a bit boyfriendy??
