Free returns are super important to me. I will keep an eye on those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248685 Sun, 11 May 2014 17:03:03 +0000 Astrid 1248685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful choices! I love stripes and both of these tops look awesome - you look fantastic, Vicki! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248675 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:54:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1248675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices, Vicki!&nbsp; I'm particularly fond of the second one -- that' a silhouette that doesn't love me, and is best on lasses with long necks and shorter hair.&nbsp; It's stunning on you. </p> <p>Thanks for the quality report! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248653 Sun, 11 May 2014 16:19:29 +0000 Anonymous 1248653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both tops are so "you," Vicki! &nbsp;You really look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248613 Sun, 11 May 2014 15:40:49 +0000 Angie 1248613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Inge. Many rounds of high fives and triplet hugs with Vicki.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jeanne, we might soon be triplet twins. </p> <p>And my correction, Joyce. In the citron skirt, the <b><i>size 2 was smaller than a J.Crew size 00.</i>&nbsp;</b>I've found that a Boden size 2 is generally&nbsp;the same as a BR 0, so size up one size. In the jeans I bought, I sized up two sizes because I'm allergic to tight jeans at the moment. And exactly what Inge said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248581 Sun, 11 May 2014 14:53:48 +0000 Susie 1248581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great tops and they look terrific on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248503 Sun, 11 May 2014 13:04:25 +0000 Jjsloane 1248503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made good choices! I have now collected that skirt too!&nbsp;<br />I'm on the larger side of sizes and find they run smaller for me ie. normally a 14 in US dresses, but Boden 12 is same. I go by reviews, measurements and message their customer service if in doubt. Make sure you get free returns, I think it's usually free exchanges but if something is almost sold out I'd buy both sizes and return the wrong one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden/page/2#post-1248481 Sun, 11 May 2014 10:34:26 +0000 Inge 1248481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Doublestriped Twins", I like the sound of that, Vicki :-)<br />And we'll be Proud Triplets with Angie when we wear our sweatshirts (couldn't agree more Angie, there is something chic about this piece, and I am wearing it all the time).</p> <p>Adore your citron skirt too, Angie, and you would rock it too, Vicki,</p> <p>Joyce: I sized up one size in all the tops, if that helps. Have a look at their size chart before ordering. For most items they give item and body measurements, that helped me a lot. Perhaps you can compare those with similar items you already own? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248479 Sun, 11 May 2014 10:31:06 +0000 Joyce B 1248479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so how does the sizing of Boden run? Does one generally need to buy 3 sizes larger in enerything? I want to check it out but I need to be on target with the sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248478 Sun, 11 May 2014 10:27:44 +0000 Joyce B 1248478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are really nice. I will check out Boden, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248473 Sun, 11 May 2014 09:40:23 +0000 Deborah 1248473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow they look amazing. The top in #3 is so cool and mod looking. Very you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248433 Sun, 11 May 2014 06:07:18 +0000 Ledonna N. 1248433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great so glad you are satisfied.

They both look like great get-dressed-in-a-hurry type pieces. Instant casual chic with minimal effort. I miss you on the forum Vicki. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248304 Sun, 11 May 2014 02:38:09 +0000 Debora 1248304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, both these tops are fabulous! A gal can never have too many stripes, IMO. Gosh, I can't decide which one I like better, the cozy sweatshirt or the Audrey neckline. Good move getting both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248281 Sun, 11 May 2014 02:19:08 +0000 Angie 1248281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're a honey-pie, Vicki. The citron skirt is retro and reminds me of my Mama and Oma - the organza overlay especially. It runs very small because the organza does not stretch at all.<b> </b><i><b>My size 4 Boden skirt is smaller than my size 00 J.Crew pencil skirt.&nbsp;</b></i></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248273 Sun, 11 May 2014 02:12:36 +0000 Jaime 1248273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tops - I especially noticed #3.

I must go renavigate the Boden site! I love that skirt and want to take a close look at the pink version, too.</p> <p>I'm so happy to be your twin of Breton stripes and I would gladly be your forever twin in any fashion. Thank you for showcasing this amazing company for us. (Next time, I'll remember to post my thread, appropriately, so it connects with your article which is so much more logical and I didn't think of it until later.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1248188 Sun, 11 May 2014 00:26:31 +0000 Angie 1248188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm waving at my Breton Stripe Sweatshirt Twin. I adore that upscale sweatshirt too, Vicki - and wear mine a lot more than I thought I would. There is something chic about it. I think it's the fabric, workmanship&nbsp;and cut.&nbsp;&nbsp;And Inge has one too - that she loves. AND Inge has the Audrey top that you bought in pic #3. So it's a happy&nbsp;high five party.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look fabulous, Vicki. I<b> love </b>the quality of Boden pieces. And the packaging is gorgeous too. Enjoy. xo</p> <p>psssst....... I just bought this Boden piece and am <i>in love</i> I tell you:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1247847 Sat, 10 May 2014 16:24:19 +0000 Vicki 1247847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>dustt and Isabel, so happy to hear you've both been&nbsp;Boden customers; I'm glad I hit the buy button.</p> <p>LACeleste, Marmee, Suja and Diane, thank you for the stripes love. &nbsp;They're a classic any time of the year for me.</p> <p>Mona, hope you find the size that suits you best. &nbsp;As dustt said, sizing up one is a good suggestion and I believe Angie recommends it, too.</p> <p>lyn*, let's hope your next shipment comes safely. &nbsp;It will be well worth it!</p> <p>K. Period., Ah, too bad about the top; I personally think you'd look amazing in anything. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>JulieJohn, I love your image and, yes, there is a soft little feline to accompany me and my soft Boden purchases.</p> <p>Carter, have fun in London and I can't wait to hear about your shopping experiences right at the source.</p> <p>Aida and JenA, merci for the compliment on the pink pants. &nbsp;Yesterday, I was wearing a print Equipment shirt with them, so that's why they were on me when I took these photos. &nbsp;In fact, I got the pants&nbsp;at a&nbsp;YLF clothing swap last year.</p> <p>pil and kkards, we are sweatshirt twins and I'll look forward to your WIW post. &nbsp;kkards, I'm not sure which photo is more accurate, so it must have been the way I was standing and posing. &nbsp;Tad short or tad long, I'd keep this sweatshirt anyway, because it's so comfortable.</p> <p>Inge, I'm so excited that we're sweater twins twice on this purchase! &nbsp;Instead of the Doublemint Twins, we'll be the Doublestriped Twins.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1247644 Sat, 10 May 2014 11:02:54 +0000 kkards 1247644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, are the stripe shirts in #1&amp;#2the same size? The sleeve length in #2 looks a little longer, but I maybe projecting. I ordered the same time, but I'm trying to decide if the sleeves are long enough.<br /> But I totally agree on the quality issue, and the customer service was great and shipping was fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1247640 Sat, 10 May 2014 10:48:56 +0000 Anonymous 1247640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are fab purchases.

I had a feeling you would love the quality and fit of these Boden pieces, and they look absolutely fantastic on you. Love the neckline of the sweater on you, and isn't the sweatshirt super cosy?</p> <p>I have a feeling these could become very versatile players in your wardrobe. Enjoy the new goodies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bowled-over-with-love-for-boden#post-1247401 Sat, 10 May 2014 02:22:34 +0000 Suja 1247401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the funnel neck striped top!

Boden has the cutest things, but I've never ordered. It's on my list as a "sight" to visit when I'm in London next month. Hopefully I'll find lots of things to bring home! </p>
