They have a small twist but are not hard to wear. I can see you in all of these.</p> <p>I love the shoes- not as out there as our Trinny but a nod in her direction lol...</p> <p>And I can join you on the team of not noticing these seams- no one has ever thought I was OCD but some would think I am too casual:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950100 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 18:20:21 +0000 Anonymous 1950100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey.

I'm sorry the dress didn't work. I had a couple of dress flops at Boden, too, but the ones that work, work very well.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950092 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 17:45:54 +0000 Kathie 1950092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes!! Trying to decide if they’d work with the tulle skirt I got at NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950090 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 17:33:44 +0000 Anonymous 1950090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dot blouse. I thought it was silk! So sort of dismissed it as too cold.<br /> Did you see that they styled it with a little merino sleeveless top overtop? Very cute.<br /> The shoes are fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950087 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 17:06:36 +0000 viva 1950087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisap: </b>I can see how that might drive you and others crazy, but I am one of those people who just never notices whether or not patterns line up. (that's one are where I am not OCD; such a blessing LOL). I'm even less likely to think about it here because it's such a&nbsp;visually&nbsp;jangly top to begin with.</p> <p><b>&nbsp;Jaileen: </b>I'm really not sure what the numbers mean on the Boden site. I assume they&nbsp;list in US sizes on the US site, but I always order one size up from&nbsp; my normal US size. In my experience, Boden consistently runs one size small for me, plus I am a little bigger around the midsection now. I hope you try this top! (PS be sure to search for a Boden coupon code before ordering; I always seem to find a working 20% off coupon). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950085 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 17:03:48 +0000 Gretchen 1950085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the Breton. I'm on a stripes de-tox after my closet audit or that would be on it's way to me now. Love the fun take with the colors. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950079 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 16:41:36 +0000 JAileen 1950079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top with the crazy stripes! Are those US sizes? I tried the fit predictor, but none of the companies I’ve bought from were listed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950064 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 16:15:42 +0000 Katerina 1950064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pieces!

Thank you.<br /> Love tie-neck shirts, will try.<br /> Shoes: with wide feet not for me.<br /> I have some old bretons, and for a (coastal) trip want a new one. They changed the model, lots of complaints about the lenght. I think I'm giving it a go again.<br /> I feel the same about interesting shirts. I wear them more then my old plain ones ( sweaters, long sleeve t- shirts). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950035 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 14:18:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 1950035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Four great choices Viva!&nbsp; I hope the silk shirt works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-recs-twists-on-the-expected#post-1950031 Tue, 21 Aug 2018 14:09:01 +0000 viva 1950031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had no luck with the Boden dress I ordered - just wrong. But I did find a few things that are going to help me make a happy transition to fall.</p> <p><b>Tie neck shirt: </b>Speaks to my dandy tomboy style. It's beautifully made (I cannot even describe the incredible, silky feel of the cotton) and a nice twist on the bow blouse.</p> <p><b>Multi-Breton: </b>I've been looking for a few years for a Breton that speaks to me, and I love the little multi-stripe pocket and back panel. Very cheery, beautiful material, semi-fitted (I ordered a 6, which is one size up from typical brands and my usual Boden size).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Platform Brogues: </b>Gorgeous, fun, comfy. The patent navy is sort of flexible - not a hard patent - which makes it feel more casual. TTS but seems like a wider foot might have an issue with these (my feet are low-volume and more narrow, and they work well).</p> <p><b>Silk shirt: </b>I have yet to receive this, but I loved the fun print that was on sale. So we'll see. I've been really liking shirts lately when they have an upgrade in material, color, or style.</p> <p>Hope this is helpful to someone,<br />Vivian </p>
