Over Boden?

[bel0]

I notice there are quite a few threads about Boden, but can I just say I am so bored with Johnnie and his twee catalogues? Mix it up a bit Johnnie, the never-ending catalogues featuring mundane facts about underfed models are starting to do my head in!

Some of the clothes are okay, but seriously, I'm over the bombardment!

Am I alone in this?

Ive just sent two dresses back that were hanging in my wardrobe for 2 months. Its great for the childrens stuff but its too frumpy, appart from the plimsolls which are great!

Agreed. Bought nothing for me for two seasons in a row now. Fed up of garish prints or frumpy styles. Like the shoes but they're eye wateringly expensive.

Colours need a rethink too imho.

I was never under Boden
Don't think I've ever worn anything but hem but I'm not mid height normal size or rich enough

To be fair, there are always loads of discounts milling about so it doesnt end up being that expensive. Its just the styles arent very "now". The plimsols are a great bargain and I always get commented on them. The dresses this year are just too frumpy and ill fitting. I saw Sam Cam in mine the other day, that was enough for me to send it back!!

I buy stuff once in a blue moon so really thats unfair of me to label boden like that cos in reality anywhere is too expensive for me.

I went to the shop - loaded with plastic - bought nothing! Not even a kids T-Shirt. Everything I tried on was unflattering and wouldn't have looked out of place on my Mum Even the boots were ill-fitting.
And don't get me started on the doorstops kindling papiermachekits catalogues

I am lost this year. Nothing in the Spring or Summer catalogue.... It's dated and samey. Bought the kids loads.

But where do I shop now?????

I like Kew

i grew bored of boden about 2 years ago, these days the catalogues go straight in the recycling. still check out the sales, mainly for the dc's.

prefer uniqlo, white stuff, saltwater now.

Yeah

yellow n blaaaack, yellow n blaack, yellow n blaaaack,

OOOOOH!

Blaaaack n YELLOW,

YAY let's shake id up a liddle!!!

I picked up the latest Cath Kidston magazine this morning. Now THAT'S a catalogue! Pored over it for an hour! Especially coveting the swimsuit on page 14. Anyone else seen it? Lovely.

Agree.
I still buy the odd basic- some knitwear is nice-and smart trousers, with 20% off or sales.

But how many swishy or fun skirts can a woman want? I get sick of the same styles every season and the same prints.

I want a bit more sophistication.

I am over 50 but still want to look glam!

I think if their prices were better they'd sell so much more...

Their santorini cardigan is beautiful and I would love it in pale grey and periwinkle (eh, blue) but it is £59. If that was £39 I'd press the 'fuck it' button to coin a phrase used on s&b earlier today. I also like a pink merino jumper but again, it's just @20 more than I am prepared to spend.

Nobody laughed at Jonnie (Barry) Boden-Benson joke!

you can get a tenner off both of those if you order them separately

Soooo frumpy and i'm mid forties!I would never wear it bar the shoes.Agree its only for kids

yes but I have to pay postage as I'm not in the UK. So it's better for me to order a few things together... (If i order at all). Have only EVER ordered anything in sale...
