I do wish Boden had some brick-and-mortar stores where we could try things once in a while before ordering...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1846127 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 03:00:08 +0000 Christina F. 1846127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M. - that's what I thought about the blazer too! But it feels much more structured than I expected. The fabric doesn't drape the way I'd expect ponte to. My husband even commented that it looked very formal. I've ordered a navy sweater blazer instead to fill this wardrobe hole. </p> <p>The purple top was good for today, with highs in the 70's. I put a wrap over it at work, where it was about 70 degrees, according to the thermostat. I do think the sleeves limit it to a smaller range of temps, perhaps, but it will also look good under a cardigan since the color will pop, even if the sleeve detail is hidden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1846107 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 02:01:35 +0000 K.M. 1846107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina</b>, that's interesting about the blazer. I also thought the ponte would give it a less formal look than "business suiting." I was hoping for something that could be dressed up or down and would look good with jeans. I have blazers from suits and those don't quite go because they are so formal.<br />I saw this top on the catalog! It looks beautiful! I was wondering if the sleeves would be too breezy for Fall (or breezy enough for summer). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845943 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:15:41 +0000 Christina F. 1845943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Nell ponte blazer in navy (a few people linked to it above in pink). It's GORGEOUS, but I have to return it. I thought ponte would read as a bit more casual and that I could dress it down, but it reads as much too formal and is going back. It's a shame, as it's so beautiful, but I just won't wear it. But if you're considering it, and it fits your lifestyle, you can't miss. </p> <p>I did succeed with this top, though, and am wearing it today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845939 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:10:50 +0000 Angie 1845939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>K.M</b>., Finds is a fab feature. Glad you're enjoying it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845848 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 01:16:58 +0000 K.M. 1845848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Emily K., </b>I had never played with Finds till today and had some fun creating Ensembles now. It was also revealing--I realized I was using a few items so many times, and others not so much. It would be quite useful when planning and prioritizing shopping. Never thought of putting my own wardrobe there. I still haven't learned how to do the "Custom Find." It would help me immensely with my daily outfit planning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845845 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 00:56:53 +0000 Emily K 1845845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M.-- Thanks for checking back in about the finds! &nbsp;I have nearly my entire wardrobe in finds and it's fun to move it around &nbsp;(like dressing paper dolls) to make ensembles and other collections. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845844 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 00:49:10 +0000 K.M. 1845844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, I didn't realize they didn't ship to Canada till now. I'd be curious as to what you think--I hope you order and share with us. I love your style and it would be fun to see how you wear these pieces. Those round-toe stretch boots look so versatile and appealing!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845832 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:47:03 +0000 Suz 1845832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some of their items in my Finds also and am excited to try a few. It's relatively new to be able to order in Canada. I'm hesitant because I don't know how they fit, but I expect to experiment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845830 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:44:19 +0000 K.M. 1845830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update on moving around Finds for those of you who commented on this:</p> <p>I don't think we can move around and reorder Finds on the Finds page. I wasn't able to do it.</p> <p>I could do it when creating the post; there are left and right arrows that appear on top of the images when you are editing the post. The same arrows appear when you are creating/editing a Collection, but not once the Collection is finished and being viewed.</p> <p>I suppose the Collection tool serves this reorganizing function, but it would be nice to move things around on the Finds page directly (it would make it easier to use Finds in posts and to create Collections). </p> <p>Just a suggestion, <b>Angie</b> I know online platforms are complicated and I have no idea if this would be feasible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845829 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:39:18 +0000 K.M. 1845829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>La Pedestrienne</b>, I also keep thinking of the wideleg jeans in the dark denim, the red-and-white striped sweater, and the printed scarf. You are right about their F/W being generally more exciting. </p> <p><b>Emily K,</b> I'm going to go play around with my Finds page now. As for the prints and colors, most items usually also come in neutrals and are equally interesting. </p> <p>Yes, the specked booties... they're probably the thing I'm most smitten with. I'm not usually an animal-print person, but the tiny dark brown spots on white and the cowhide look so pretty. Graphic and organic all at once. I wonder what the styling options would be with them in terms of pant leg shapes, colors of tights and pants etc. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845826 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:23:06 +0000 Emily K 1845826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please let me know more about reorganizing finds! &nbsp;I do move them around within their ensemble or collection pages--placement is a little hit-or-miss, though, I think depending on the size of the item photo. (In this respect, it does help to move the items to the collection/ensemble page is the approximate order in which you wish to see them.)</p> <p>(But, maybe you've clarified that they are moveable in the post, but not necessarily in the finds page.) &nbsp;:-)</p> <p>I keep looking at Boden. &nbsp;The colors and prints are really pretty but a little bit outside my comfort zone. &nbsp;(I did a double-take at the specked booties, though.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845824 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 23:19:06 +0000 LaPed 1845824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I really like the new Boden collection. FWIW, I'm generally more excited by their F/W stuff, since they excel at tweeds, knitwear, and trousers. Their summer line is hit-or-miss, depending on whether they're dresses suit you, I find. (Also: too many of their dresses this summer were jersey, and I for one am really trying to get away from jersey dresses that feel hot and clingy and don't wear well compared to wovens.)</p> <p>I can't wait to see/hear more about Angie's&nbsp;floral velvet blazer -- really hope it's a keeper!</p> <p>If I try anything, it'll be the wide leg jeans and a striped sweater -- hemming and hawing over which colorway would add more to my wardrobe. I also really like the bird-print scarf (matches the skirt!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845820 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 22:53:53 +0000 K.M. 1845820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>smittie</b> and <b>Laura</b>, I was able to reorganize Finds once I put them on this post. I haven't experimented with the Finds Page directly. </p> <p><b>Laura</b>, I hadn't seen that Rafaela sweater yet (haven't had time to click on all the print choices). Beautiful! </p> <p><b>anchie</b>, that's good to know. I order from them once in a blue moon because they are just a little bit above my budget. I think my daughter has more pieces from them than I do. So I need to wise up to their selling out fast!</p> <p><b>Jane</b>, yes, I love their photos and locations! They have an eye for architecture and settings, too. Their catalogs really do accomplish what all catalogs probably want to--sell not just the clothes but an idea, a life experience, a feeling. I don't just want to wear the items, I want to inhabit those pictures. Also, how great to have a real store coming near you. Is this just for the UK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845792 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 19:55:37 +0000 Jane 1845792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Boden, just for the variety and the pictures (a lot taken in central London), cute dogs and pretty prints. I am quite excited as we are soon to get a Boden shop near where I work and I am so looking forward to seeing things for real.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845774 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 19:06:37 +0000 Anonymous 1845774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full price seems reasonable to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845766 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 18:38:54 +0000 anchie 1845766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From my previous experience with Boden, some of the most popular styles and colors sell out very fast. They may show up again if somebody returns but they usually don't restock. They often have promotions and sales so it is a gamble if you want to wait for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845765 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 18:32:39 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1845765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't know you could rearrange Finds either.

I just wonder if they haven't even been stocked yet? </p> <p><b>Traci</b>, yes, they are so good with prints. They used to have many prints they called "ditsy" years ago--they were all different, but I just loved the moniker. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845730 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:59:05 +0000 Traci 1845730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I love Boden. &nbsp;I feel like they moved away from prints in the last couple of years and now they are moving back to them, to my delight. &nbsp;Boden is one of the few places that does playful prints in well made clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845727 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:29:33 +0000 anchie 1845727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also seriously considering Victoria blazer but it is unfortunately already sold out in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845723 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:20:42 +0000 K.M. 1845723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS. <b>Angie</b>, the YLF Collect tool is allowing me to live vicariously. It's also the best way to organize and assess all the things I like from different stores. I love how we can reorder the items so they go next to the ones I want to wear them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845722 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:18:06 +0000 K.M. 1845722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Laura</b>, yes, what I find great about them is that things are both unique and wearable. I feel like that's what J.Crew used to be a decade ago. I was comparing this catalog to the recent J.Crew that hit my mailbox (I kind of feel bad for them right now with the revolving door) and thinking if I were at JCrew I'd be headhunting at Boden... shhhh, no, we don't want to ruin Boden!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, that floral blazer also makes me swoon. I have it in my longer list of objects of desire... Would love to see all of those pieces on you and how you style them. And yes, Boden does have the best colors! Eye-popping without being fluo (again, my problem with J.Crew...)</p> <p><b>Smittie</b>, those boots look so mod and chic, no? And the sweater, pants, and skirt are at the top of my list. The pants are actually a light-blue and white herringbone tweed! I love the light color for a cold-weather pant. (I also like chambray and have a similar pair made of chambray-like tencel, so it must be in my subconscious).</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, yes, that sweater is haunting me!</p> <p><b>Tanya</b>, crush is the best word to define my feelings. The Victoria military-style blazer is so amazing. I also eyed the Nell blazer and the other one (they have two different fits, can't remember the name). Was wondering which fit would be most versatile. Please do share if/when you order!</p> <p>I decided to tear up pages from the catalog to make sure I didn't miss anything I liked, and realized I tore out half the pages!!! I don't think I've ever liked a catalog so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845717 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:07:18 +0000 Tanya 1845717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a crush on quite a few Boden items from the past two months.&nbsp; I don't know yet what I will end up ordering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845714 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:54:47 +0000 kkards 1845714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh that fair isle sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-boden-catalog#post-1845710 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:49:58 +0000 Anonymous 1845710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cool boots too.
