Which color do you prefer? Cant decide betweek khaki or blue.

I'm 5'6", short dark hair and fair skin, blue eyes. I look better in color typically, but the khaki looks pretty classic and versatile - and it looks great on the model. However if I get the blue it will match the Boden sandals and necklace, hence making an outfit. Which should I get?

I'd get the blue. The khaki almost looks like a uniform.

I like the dark blue (is that the blue you were looking at?).

However - I got this dress a couple of years ago as a gift. The top looked really cute, but the bottom looked like a giant shapeless paperbag. It had to go back.

I am trying to remember if the one I got had the wrap top or not - the current one strikes me as cuter. :)

blue. Let me know how it looks once it arrives. I have the same height and coloring you do, just probably a larger size. Maybe not by summer though :)

I am also a brunette and turquoise blue always looks good. Just my 2 cents!

Its awfully quiet out there! Is anybody else getting anything from Boden preview? Im thinking about these...actually I could really use your input because I cant decide. Getting a few from the spring collection too. Anybody tried their cardigans? Its so hard to shop online only...maybe Id be safer to just go to jcrew or something?

Here is my list from preview:

I bought a bunch of stuff from the spring collection--which cardigan are you considering? I got the "Bow Cardigan" and it is very cute. I have a few cardigans from previous years, and some run a bit snug. It you like cardigans close-fitting, buy your regular size. But if you want to wear a shirt underneath and like to button up the cardigan, or like them a little slouchier, you might want to size up. I've found this the case with the "fun cardigan" and the "favorite cardigan" in particular. The Bow cardigan, though, I got in my regular size and it is fine.

I was looking at the favorrite crewneck cardigan, or the favorite v-neck cardigan less-so. I keep looking at the webstie, wasting time and not buying anything! Really unsure about the necklace...seems it would be good because I always wear plain solid tops....

Yes, that rosette top will be a nice one!
I still havent gotten the dress yet. Just the top and a necklace.
