Cool, thanks so much!
Cool, thanks so much!
Ok how is everyone liking their Boden purchases?
I got mine a few days ago. I ordered 3 COTD things for myself (nothing for the kids, shocker!!) I am keeping all of them..none of them were complete busts and I am glad bc it was such a good deal (~$25 per piece!)
My favorite is the Stripey Henley. http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens...?NavGroupID=18
I got it in the grey/pink/purple. LOVE IT. So light weight. I wore to work yesterday and out for ice cream with the kids as well. Love that you can adjust the sleeves. Works well with shorts or pants.
I also got the Autumn Breton in the deep purple. It's ok, though a bit boxy and runs big (even though i got the same size as the others). Great for work though.

And i got the Empire Top in the grey. http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens...e-Top.html?m=3
The fabric of this was AMAZING and i love the colors (grey and navy/chartreuse are one of my fave combos). Probably the comfiest top I have ever worn. I look forward to fall so I can wear it. This is something to wear with leggings. Unfortunately, bc of the cut (empire waist) it looks sort of maternity-ish, at least on me. That was fine with me though. I couldn't get over how comfy this thing was. Boden fabric is something else!
Haven't got anything yet, but glad to hear you like the Stripey Henley, I got the teal/purple one. I also got a Crinkle Jersey shirt in the pewter w/ navy stars. Both of these will be good for work for me, I think.
The rest of the stuff is for the kids and I think they will like them. It's the first time I've ordered pants for DD, so I hope the fit works for her. For DS, I got the grey denim board shorts for $10, they should fit him next summer. I'll update once we get our stuff!

I spoke of my love for the smocked shoulder tunic previously. I also bought a bunch of other items, I will try and keep it brief with the shirts I think I AM keeping.
Stitch detail tee: Love how this one frames the face. Only white was available in my size, and I was worried about how sheer it would be based on the reviews, but it is fine. Even the puffy cap sleeves look nice on my linebacker shoulders!
Easy Tank: I struggle finding tanks that are v-neck that aren't too deep of a vee, while providing good shoulder/bra coverage. Plus with a 36DD chest, often detailing around the bust ends up in the wrong place. But this fits really nicely. I got it in Lemon Curd, and I am not 100% sold on the color, but I love the fit so much I might just keep it.
Lightweight Boatneck: I feel so sophisticated in this shirt. Such a simple shirt, but a great fit. I bought it in cadmium red, and the only problem is i have bought everything in this color this summer, do I really need another? But I seem to do that in general, binge on a certain color every year.

I ignored this sale and am bummed I did that! I forget, was it only womens? I am going to pull the trigger on DS's infant toggle coat but the code only gives me a discount if I place an order for over $50. I was hoping Id see another code pop up today. However I doubt I will have trouble getting to $50 or $100

Mommy_Mea, I'm bummed that I didn't grab the smocked shoulder tee, which I had been eyeing in the black even before it went on CoTD, but I ended up passing on it because I didn't think the short sleeves were practical for Fall and winter. Glad you love it - I will have to consider it another time!
I ended up buying a bunch of mini Boden for DD1 mostly, and love what we got so far - the adorable hedgehog dress (which she wants to wear for her first day back to school), the bunny stripy applique tee, and the blue slouchy sweatpants (which I'm exchanging for a larger size). Keeping it all. Waiting for the cozy gilet/vest for DD1 and teddy zip jacket for DD2 to arrive later this week.

Im so mad I forgot to place my order doe DS's toggle coat and the code is over. If you get word of another one please let me know if you would!
Ummm, what does Boden define as a "sale" item? I got my package of nearly $500 worth of items, went through it, promptly went on vacation for a week, and realized I might have seriously messed up, since Boden requires return of "sale" items within 7 days.
Is COTD "sale"? Is clearance "sale"? Should I throw myself on the mercy of Boden customer service??
