Boden preview site - my shopping bag is over £400

42 replies

Jewelsandgems · 06/07/2010 11:49

So went on to have a look as I do get the girls stuff from boden - lasts ages and they love the colours.

So, all started rather well but I have 2 girls and so started to double up on things like jeans and tops (different colours etc) and then my shopping bag was approaching the £200s.

Then clicked on womens and found this coat that I really love and at preview is £144 (it's not a great fashion coat but it is a nice shape and I can imagine wearing it lots) and then I added a dress....

Well my total is now £349.61 for 11 items.....it just sounds like alot....

Shall I just go for it?

If you have it why not?

Jewelsandgems · 06/07/2010 12:04

grumpalo I would have probobley spent that much even if it was a bit here, bit there, from different shops but still...

And in scotland DD1 starts pre-school in august not september, would be a shame to miss out on the 20% off....

oh bugger it. I just don't know.

I know disenchanted but they fit my girls so nice (jeans especially). I have never been a fan of the womens' stuff but I do like the coat (in a classic kind of way)

in navy or magenta

Sorry, looks like a 1950s nurses coat IMO, not in a good way either.

But if your taste and you have the money go for it!

VinoEsmeralda · 06/07/2010 12:23

navy for me. Think the magenta is a difficult colour, navy is classic colour

Jewelsandgems · 06/07/2010 12:25

opinion noted disenchanted

vino yes my first thought was the navy, but would skinny jeans in blue look rubbish? The magenta was more of a contrast (but yes, I totally know what you mean)

There are no hotchpotch tops in the girls' section! I thought they always made those.

Jewelsandgems · 06/07/2010 12:30

I know melpomene! This time have gone for the 'layered logo t-shirt'.

I need to get off this computer and stop shopping

VinoEsmeralda · 06/07/2010 12:40

am clearing out DC wardrobes now and will order tomorrow. Does anybody know till when the 20% off is?

Millie1 · 06/07/2010 15:34

Oh I love winter clothes - yeah! Shall browse properly later and plan children's winter wardrobes but, in the meantime, what does anyone think of this jacket (for me!) www.bodenpreview.co.uk/en-gb/Womens-Coats-Jackets/Coats/WE279/Womens-Off-Duty-Parka.html?NavGroupID= 2. Good, everyday, school run, out and about jacket or boring old Boden?

Vino - the 20% discount expires on 15 July.

moragbellingham · 06/07/2010 16:18

The magenta coat looks great in the pic with the model but really washed out in the other pic.
I would get both colours and send one back.

HalfTermHero · 06/07/2010 18:13

I have spent a similar amount on myself on the preview site. Lots of gorgeous women's clothes this season so may as well take advantage of the 20% off. Not all of it will fit though so expect some will go back. I find that it you close your eyes and press 'confirm' fast it almost feels like you did not spent the money .

Cabatach · 06/07/2010 19:01

I just tell myself that I won't keep it all - but inevitably do...

domesticsluttery · 06/07/2010 19:11

What do you think the leggings are like? I have bought too many a few tunics in the summer sale and it would be nice to have leggings to wear with them for autumn, but I hate thin, cheapy ones!

Sherbert37 · 06/07/2010 19:31

I would love those cable knit tights on the main Women's home page - wonder where they are from?
