I ahve been thinking about dipping my toe in the Boden waters - quality petites are hard to find. I adore that Tilda sweater in green - wish it came in a petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1945238 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 05:28:54 +0000 Gretchen 1945238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Collette - I typically order extended calf for knee high boots, and these fit immediately. I was so surprised!&nbsp;</p> <p>@Angie - I think the problem is I'm between a L and XL for Boden tops. So it totally depends on the cut of the item. I have long arms, and still felt the sweaters were too much. Will be interested to see your thoughts.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Ummlila - I'm so tempted by the Yellow, but it has to be a specific tint for me, or I look washed out. My daughter is on a yellow kick lately and I'm so jealous. Love the look of that dress and those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1945050 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 15:30:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1945050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had good luck with Boden things for the upcoming season, though did return a few items that didn't fit quite right including a couple of dresses and sadly that gorgeous color block coat in Angie's finds. Beyond the embroidered boots and matching bag, I had a bit of a yellow kick (see the finds.) I'm still waiting on the pencil skirt and long ponte color block dress; I suspect it will be too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944988 Sat, 04 Aug 2018 13:04:30 +0000 Suz 1944988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these reviews and what a great collection of items you received!

Have never pulled the trigger on Boden shoes, but these might just might be the ticket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944735 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:16:01 +0000 Angie 1944735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. Gorgeous items, and AMAZING quality - I know. I bet you look fabulous in everything. Wow. SOOO fun. You scored, and thanks for the reviews.</p> <p>I'll be ordering the same pullovers to see how they fit my slight frame - which I know sounds weird after your review. I am often sized out of an XS in US retailers, and wear a US0 or US00. I get away with a Boden 2 most of the time because the fit and fabric are sublime - AND I alter. I'm curious how those pullovers will fit me though. I have long arms and like the structure of the neckline and cuffs. Maybe you needed a petite? I am too tall for petites. I'll keep you posted.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be ordering these items from Boden soon: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944733 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:14:13 +0000 JAileen 1944733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Berwick sweater in grey. In one picture, though, it looks like one of the stripes is mustard, and in another picture it looks olive. I’m just reluctant to order from Boden because of shipping. I wish Nordstrom would offer it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944726 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:02:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1944726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>thanks!&nbsp; And what a great haul of keepers.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have my eye on the Berwick sweater in navy, just need to find something else I "need" to get free shipping.&nbsp; So reviews of lovely items are welcome &nbsp; Good to know that particular sweater runs big.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944616 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:28:07 +0000 viva 1944616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review! I really love the two sweaters you noted ran big, so that is helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944606 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:04:21 +0000 Colette 1944606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab haul! Thank you for the reviews. I’ve not yet tried Boden but I’ve been tempted. The booties are so fun! And the tall boots could be a great replacement for a pair I own but are dated looking. Hmmm, now I’m wondering if they would they fit a larger calf. Will have to investigate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944599 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 12:41:00 +0000 kerry 1944599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thank you for these great reviews! I’ve been eyeing Boden for some fall updates. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet because #1 I’m waiting for a good promo code and #2 it’s a bit early for me to know what direction I’d like to go this fall (I’m in a new-ish job this September).</p> <p>I have eyed that Tilda sweater - great colours - but am afraid it’s a bit too dressy for me. I also like the Arabella sweatshirt and Althea jersey top. Thanks for the sizing recommendations for the Berwick sweater - I’m hoping for that one in navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944587 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 12:10:56 +0000 Bijou 1944587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant collection of items you bought and excellent reviews. A shame that the Magnolia Jersey Dress did not work, but the items that did are simply gorgeous. I particularly like your new boots and of course you can start to wear them now. I personally wear ankle boots with summer dresses, it is a fun combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-for-the-win#post-1944504 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 03:32:09 +0000 Gretchen 1944504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boden Fall comes up trumps with both a <b>HEWI</b> and a <b>Wildcard</b>!&nbsp;I know a lot of people are looking right now, so I thought I'd share my (slightly long and gushing) reviews.&nbsp;</p> <p>To start with the amazing wins...&nbsp; </p> <ul> <li><b>Ledbury Knee High Boots</b>. Fit perfectly out of the box, including a smooth zip up - no stretching at all. I was worried about having to size down (no 1/2 sizes) but they fit well in 15 minutes of walking around the house. And they have NAVY SUEDE. Finally something other than black or brown for knee high boots! Found a HEWI and I'm thrilled.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Bridgewater Ankle Boots</b>. My wildcard. I'm in love, and had to fight my daughter for who gets to wear first. A little hard to get into with my high arches, but once on, fit perfectly, and the embroidery aligns great with my preferred colors. I'm team heels, and will be wearing these asap -can it be Fall already?&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Tilda V-Neck sweater.</b>&nbsp;TTS. The green is gorgeous, the buttons a nice touch. May look at the Ivory as well. Will be a workhorse this season.</li> <li><b>Arabella Sweatshirt.</b> Perfect for summer to fall in Northern CA. Super roomy, and long. You might want to size down if you don't want oversized. Love the design on the yoke and sleeves.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Eliza Jersey Dress</b>. My new dress for "can i just wear pajamas to work" days. Great lines and color. Sleeves are a little fussy - the ruffle hits right a peak bustline - but they add some extra interest to an otherwise very simple dress.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Althea Jersey Top.</b>&nbsp;Love the green and blue. Will work well with jeans or with a skirt for casual days at work.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Cavendish Girlfriend Jeans.</b> A repeat order for me. Went with the shorter length as these will be for wearing with boots.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>And the not so good news:&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><b>Muriel sweater</b>. Great color. WAAAY too big, and longer than it shows on the model. Size down if you want to try it.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Berwick Sweater</b>. Another WAAAY too big sweater. Size down. The gray was too light for me, but the design is fun.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Sarah Jacquard top</b>. Same material as their Ottoman dress? Or very close. Nice design, but the stripe overwhelmed me. Might be better on someone with shorter hair as there's a nice design to the back collar.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Magnolia Jersey Dress</b>. Color blend made me think of Fiestaware. It's bright! Nice design, but very low cut on the front wrap. I would have required a tank top - no way to make it work with a pin.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Alexis Jersey Dress</b>. Wow was this a miss for me. Smocking at the wrist was itchy, and the color was a loud tomato red. Too much for me to pull off.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>Super happy with this order - and ready to retire the credit cards for until Fall sales start! </p>
