What are some of your fav mama Boden items this season? I'm thinking about the cosmopolitan tee...anyone tried it yet?

How much is your voucher for?

I like the cut of the cosmopolitan tee, but the patterns don't grab me so much.

I like some of their tunics. This one is cute, but gets so-so reviews.

I also like this one, but I can't wear wool, even cashmere:

Too bad the leggings are pretty much sold out. I bought two pair, and they are nice. They're thin, but have a nice look to them (in case you're one of the two sizes left!)

If I get one (and I hope I do!!!) I think I might try their jeans. I'm in desperate need of jeans and I'm having a hard time finding nice ones in a bricks and mortar store.

but, there are lots of things I would buy for myself there. I really like:

I've recently bought these and I like them (though the dress shows more cleavage than I'd like and I have to wear a cami:

My voucher is for $25, so not a hefty amount. NOT that I'm complaining...I'm entirely grateful :). I just don't have much too spend right now and am in need of some shirts, as I'm losing my baby weight and nothing fits.

I really want the cosy cable coat, but would need DH to buy it for X-mas or something. I was just going to post the link, but it is pretty much sold out of both colors I would want. Darn it!

I LOVE the Chelsea dress you posted, mommylamb! Of course, that is also sold out in my size in the color I want. I wouldn't mind the gray and purple, though.

I am curvy and have not worn leggings since I was in elementary school. I'm not sure if I can pull off a tunic, though I tempted to try since Boden has such cute ones.

I just recieved the cosmopolitan tee today! Love it! I am a curvy size 10 and just had a baby 6 mos ago. Its cute! I ordered the 10 and it fits great. i always want to get the tunics too but I don't know how they would look. I got one of those vouchers too and I have to find something to buy also.

Wow! I am also a curvy size 10, and my baby just turned 6 mos. last week! Glad to hear a success story on the cosmopolitan tee. What color did you get?

I got the pink with polka dots. I am so bummed though cuz I had it on today and was dusting and got a big dust polish spot on it. I just put it in the wash. So I will let you know how it washes. I hope I didn't ruin it. I might order another since I love it but I love empire waist tops with straight jeans.

Oh, bummer! I hate when I get stains on my new shirts! The pink is the color I was thinking about getting. I think I'm going to get that to replace an EB shirt that stretched out horribly. I think I'm also going to get this:

I like that cardigan! I have been trying to figure out what to get also! I analyze things way too much. I washed the shirt and then realized it said lay flat to dry. Don't know why though! Its cotton and elastene. I just dried it on low until almost dry and now it is laying flat to dry. Now off to find something to buy with my voucher. I want easy cute tops! I want to try a tunic but i don't know how it would look with my hips.
