I am looking forward to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25186 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:19:24 +0000 Laura 25186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Nicole it is a Tupperware party for clothes, basically! They bring in samples, sometimes a couple of sizes, but you do have to guesstimate based on the sample they have. Plus there is food, drinks, socializing ...</p> <p>Angie, I have been a little camera shy to date but I promise to post photos when the clothes arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25182 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:01:47 +0000 Angie 25182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab stuff! Are we going to see you in them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25176 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:27:24 +0000 Tanya 25176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a great time Laura! Nice buys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25173 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 02:17:49 +0000 Nicole 25173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great buys Laura. I love the velvet skirt.</p> <p>I had heard of trunk sales but never really understood what they were. Sounds kinda like a Tupperware party for a line of clothes? I assume they bring a sample of clothing in a trunk to a person's home?? Do they bring multiple sizing so everyone can try things on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25163 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:58:30 +0000 Laura 25163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boden shows are a big thing in my area. They have local reps who take the clothes around to people's homes, you invite friends, and as hostess you get a discount. I guess they do this since they don't have retail stores in the U.S. If you order from the rep you get 15% off and free shipping and returns.</p> <p>Definitely order the green shirt. It was better in person than I imagined. Some things were not as good ... it does help to see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25152 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 23:42:07 +0000 Taffy 25152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THanks Laura! I've had my eye on that green shirt for a while. How did you find a trunk sale, anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25133 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 21:15:24 +0000 Laura 25133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, I forgot to mention that the velvet jacket has contrast stitching along the edges, which makes it more casual. Really cute. I would order down a size especially if you want it fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25128 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:43:28 +0000 marianne 25128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the report, Laura! The shirt is very pretty, and it looks like it doesn't wrinkle. The jacket was one of the things I was wondering about. Good to know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25100 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:18:09 +0000 Laura 25100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm back. I bought this shirt:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/col.asp?segname=Women&#038;styid=WL463&#038;segid=6&#038;gpname=Tops+%26+T%2Dshirts&#038;desname=Crinkle+Jersey+Shirt&#038;gpid=27&#038;gen=1#img" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/col.as.....;gen=1#img</a></p> <p>Very flattering shirt with a slim cut. It's cotton, washable, and is super soft and feels like a t-shirt but has way more structure. I am a 6 petite and got a small in green to wear with dark jeans and flats - also it looks great with white jeans.</p> <p>I also bought this skirt:<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/col.asp?segname=Women&#038;styid=WG298&#038;segid=6&#038;gpname=Skirts&#038;desname=Washed+Velvet+Skirt&#038;gpid=26&#038;gen=1#img" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/col.as.....;gen=1#img</a></p> <p>in solid black to wear with black tights and riding boots and sweaters. I ordered 12L even though I am 5"4' because it runs short and I wanted it just above the knee. It sits on the hip, which is a different fit than the denim skirt, which sat more on the waist.</p> <p>By the way, the denim skirt is NOT a-line as it appears in the catalog (at least to my eyes). It is straight.</p> <p>This jacket was super cute and slim fitting:<br /> <a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/col.asp?segname=Women&#038;styid=WE193&#038;segid=6&#038;gpname=Coats+%26+Jackets&#038;desname=Velvet+Blazer&#038;gpid=11&#038;gen=1#img" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/col.as.....;gen=1#img</a></p> <p>Happylife, sorry but they didn't have the wrap dress to try.</p> <p>Hope this helps anyone looking at the Boden catalog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25077 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:23:57 +0000 marianne 25077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think their shirts and jackets tend to be sort of boxy. If you see any that aren't, could you report which ones? Sorry, I am at work so I can't go look for specific items right now. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25075 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:20:16 +0000 Laura 25075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wrap dresses - will do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25057 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:53:42 +0000 Debbie 25057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>can you check out any wrap dresses? thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-hitting-a-boden-trunk-show-today#post-25053 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:48:49 +0000 Laura 25053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there anything anyone wants me to look at in person? </p> <p>I am on the hunt for a jacket or button down shirt, plus I want to check out their denim skirt. </p> <p>Will report back if there's anything super fabulous! </p>
