Boden’s prints aren’t usually for me, but they do have a good range of solids and a variety of lengths in their dresses. Lots of below the knee right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000566 Sat, 09 Feb 2019 17:59:42 +0000 Suz 2000566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Toban -- helpful!

Love the pocket placement. &nbsp;And great price too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000388 Sat, 09 Feb 2019 01:53:56 +0000 Toban 2000388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, torontogirl, Jussie and Gretchen.

Imho there’s nothing better than a well cut sheath dress! I also find they work well for dressy casual social events too, as well as work.<br /> Best of luck with your triathlons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000375 Sat, 09 Feb 2019 01:17:24 +0000 Helena 2000375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000322 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 22:25:51 +0000 Toban 2000322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks UmmLila. The Bronte dress is a stretch pull over and fits with the ease shown in the picture. It is body skimming but not clingy, comes in at the waist and has a gentle flare. Great fabric. V-neck is not deep. I will wear it a lot to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000320 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 22:23:03 +0000 Toban 2000320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes, very ME, which has had me smiling ever since I unwrapped them and tried them on. I’m going to wear the navy one tonight :). My shoe shopping is going slowly, but I found and love this pair of sparkly denim flats from Clark’s. I’m wearing them with navy tights on colder days or bare on warmer days and alternating with my Burgundy Chelsea boots and a low heeled pair of Rieker’s booties. The Clarks will work great with both dresses. <a href="https://www.clarksusa.com/c/Pure-Tone/p/26139634" rel="nofollow">https://www.clarksusa.com/c/Pure-Tone/p/26139634</a></p> <p>I am still looking for the right nude/cream pointy toe flat in a wider width but haven’t found the right one yet. Also looking for colorful versions, perhaps gold, yellow, purple or olive. I’m reasonably sorted with flat sandals when warmer weather comes.<br /> , </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000318 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 22:20:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2000318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Bronte dress is such a good shape --and I love the v neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000310 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 22:10:38 +0000 Angie 2000310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I'm looking at these Boden frocks:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000308 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 22:08:20 +0000 Angie 2000308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look very YOU, and fab to see you <b>Toban.</b>&nbsp;It's wonderful to know what you like - and milk it.

There were only a few wrinkles when I unpacked it, so I think it will be fairly robust. It is not a stretchy fabric, but there’s a slight give in the bodice, likely due to a bias cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000300 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 21:42:06 +0000 Suz 2000300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look terrific. I was just looking at the chino dress last night. What is the fabrication like? Does it have stretch or no stretch? Is it wrinkly?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000272 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 20:28:10 +0000 Toban 2000272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger &nbsp;</b>...

I thought you'd appreciate the scarves. You're my scarf inspiration and I've really upped my game on wearing scarves this &nbsp;winter after seeing how you incorporate them. I now have a small collection that I have fun choosing from. Often wearing them over a necklace so I can take them off if I find I get warm in the office.</p> <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Sterling</b>. All is well with me. Big work deadlines and major training for some big endurance events this year has my schedule full. I am happy to report that I've stayed +/- 3 pounds from my goal weight that I achieved last May. Yay! I just focus on being stronger and have some big audacious goals for the first half of the year (two 50km trail races, one half ironman!!!). I've even hired a coach to help me prepare healthily for the events as I would probably do way too much. I hope all is well with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000261 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 20:07:15 +0000 Anonymous 2000261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.&nbsp; They look perfect for you.&nbsp; Hope you are doing well.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000257 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 20:04:41 +0000 Katerina 2000257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, YES. These are perfect for you. Great scarves to complement them. You are an excellent shopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-successes----two-new-dresses#post-2000254 Fri, 08 Feb 2019 19:54:02 +0000 Toban 2000254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of v-necks and dresses ....</p> <p>I'm lurking a lot, but haven't been focused much on clothes until recently -- but I'm looking ahead to spring. Today's mail brought me two superb, petite-sized dresses from Boden, both of which I can dress up or down with accessories (like the scarves attached as finds) and shoes and transition from work to play easily for me. Both feature two of my favorite clothing shapes -- a sheath cut and variations on v-necks. With a topper, the dark olive dress in chino material is substantial enough to wear in our early spring-like weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've definitely learned that I have my favorite silhouettes: sheath dresses (sleeveless or 3/4 sleeve), pencil skirts and boot cut pants/jeans with body skimming, un-tucked top (v-neck or scoop) that are my FFBOs that I always feel great in.&nbsp;</p> <p>Note that both dresses come in a variety of colors and Boden has a 20% off sale right now!</p>
