Maybe you will too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969856 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 19:11:36 +0000 Anonymous 1969856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kyle and Lynn!<br /> Karen- it is soft. Sleeve length is long and so is hip length. Sleeves are easy to fix with a cuff, but hip length is harder to deal with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969784 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 15:44:26 +0000 karen13 1969784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous all around. I think a second fair isle of the same style would steal wears. But maybe find one in a different fabrication.</p> <p>I’m kind of glad the hunter off the shoulder sweater doesn’t come in petites. I want it! I don’t need it! Is it soft and how is the sleeve and hip length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969771 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 15:15:05 +0000 Kyle 1969771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So stylish and chic. Very hard to pick a favorite. I do very much love the chunky knit top and fitted skirt in No. 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969757 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 14:55:23 +0000 lyn67 1969757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is really a gorgeous haul, L.O.V.E. everything you bought! You made good decisions, they all make a&nbsp; cohesive fall capule, everything goes with many others, if not everything from here. I esp love your 2x2 jeans looks here, very curent looks(my fave is the maximal in nr 5). Oh, and your skirt utfits are TDF! I&nbsp; always love a good cowl neck, i have just bought mine in a pale fluffy&nbsp; pink/blush and love it. I am curious to see you sock boots too! I bought me some by&nbsp; H&amp;M in black-and&nbsp; can't wait to wear them under skirts and wide legs/culotte! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969743 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 14:34:53 +0000 Anonymous 1969743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal- thanks! Fair isle is for everyone, and wool skirts would suit you well!<br /> Sarahd8- thanks. We are the fair isle reps of YLF!<br /> Brooklyn- I knew you’d like the chevron below the knee. That will be my new uniform going forward (blatant copy of you ;-)<br /> Shevia- thanks!<br /> Bijou- thanks! Maybe I’ll revisit 9<br /> Suz - I’m sure another sale will come up soon! We are both doing well with tweed this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969722 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 12:45:13 +0000 Bijou 1969722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in all of these. The Bowden fair isle knit is amazing on you, I love it every way you have styled it. I also like #9, but if the fit is off with the skirt, this knit will be great with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969639 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 03:19:18 +0000 Jaime 1969639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fair isle sweater the big chunky knit and all of your styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969616 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 02:11:49 +0000 SarahD8 1969616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, just lovely! I especially love the pattern mix in 1 and the monochrom-ish looks with textural interest in 8-9 (haha, sounds like what I like about 9 is exactly what you didn't like about it. fwiw I think the sweater in 9 looks oversized in an intentional way, and an interesting juxtaposition with the fitted skirt).</p> <p>I am not the right person to talk anyone out of buying a fair isle sweater, but I do think others have a good point about trying something different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969612 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 01:33:23 +0000 Brooklyn 1969612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab set of looks! My favourites are the chevron skirt, especially with the moto jacket, and the pattern mix blazer look. You did well with Boden! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969571 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 23:28:04 +0000 Sal 1969571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Smittie- these looks are brilliant on you. Modern retro cosy and cool.</p> <p>I love this knitwear - it really suits you. I cannot wear it as well as you do sadly.</p> <p>Love the fair isle but I would choose a different pattern as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969568 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 23:23:40 +0000 Anonymous 1969568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa P. No that sweater is from zara.</p> <p>I didn’t think the big sweater worked very well because of the competing small pattern and the overly grey look. It’s also a little too big.</p> <p>Thanks Jussie! Yah I have a sugar eye for fair isle this year!</p> <p>Thanks Cardiff! I think the thickness of the fabric makes things lie flat and so there’s no bunchiness.</p> <p>Thanks Kathie! Yah my favourites are those as well. I like the thicker sweater for a casual look.</p> <p>Thanks Cee! (I think... ;-))</p> <p>Thanks Christina - another vote for the pattern mixing!</p> <p>Angie- I have been extremely pleased with the quality of everything from this brand. I also loved their linen/cotton blend fabric this summer. It was thick and luxurious. I will look for more knitwear from Boden too, maybe in the new year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969556 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 23:06:49 +0000 Angie 1969556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cee</b>, I know!

I love 5 and 7 the most but you can’t go wrong with any of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969540 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 22:50:52 +0000 Cee 1969540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...

I particularly love the skirts, and the way you’ve styled 1, 2, 3, and 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969493 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 21:36:13 +0000 Cardiff girl 1969493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these looks even the disliked number 9.You are so lucky to be able to tuck your sweaters into your skirts.l think it’s a really cool look but it feels really Bunchy to me when I do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969481 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 21:24:16 +0000 jussie 1969481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! I like each of these looks! I’ve been lusting after the fair isle sweater.....<br /> Enjoy your new outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969478 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 21:22:01 +0000 Anonymous 1969478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief - what a great bunch of clothes! This line looks like it really suits you. &nbsp;I actually like the sweater in #9 - is it Boden too? &nbsp;And once you get the sock boots, these outfits will be slam dunks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969469 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:54:42 +0000 Anonymous 1969469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie, Suz and LaP!<br /> Ok, I’ll hold off on the other colorway.<br /> I’m think I want something with a ribbed band at the bottom that can be scootched up when wearing high rises.<br /> Glad to know there is love for the pattern mixing and BR sweater!<br /> @Angie: I will get the burgundy tights tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969465 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:32:33 +0000 LaPed 1969465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of it! But especially the moto+skirt look in #8. Chunky knitwear really suits you. Can't wait to see the navy boots when they arrive. Agree you should add a different sweater rather than duplicate. Perhaps the striped-sleeve Boden sweater Elizabeth P showed us today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969462 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:23:36 +0000 Suz 1969462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Angie</b> said. These are fabulous! I especially love the chevron skirt, the Fair Isle sweater, and the BR sweater on you. Love the pattern mix in #5! Fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are tempting me. I missed the Boden sale, alas. Hmmmm..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969458 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:17:13 +0000 Angie 1969458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOOH. EXCITING, <b>Smitie.<br /></b><br />I LOVE the Faire Isle, Freya skirt, and Polka Dot Blazer. KILLER x3. I adore the length of the skirt. Prefer it to the knee cap showing.&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 is my FAVE, so no - not too much :)</p> <p>Fun wide crops. #7 works well.&nbsp;</p> <p>The colours of #3 are magical on you. You need burgundy or pink tights there.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pullover in #4 is KILLER GORGEOUS on you too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait for you to get your navy sock boots. I love mine from Peter Kaiser.&nbsp;</p> <p>To answer your question: I think don't get the colour way. Try a different look. Might get sick of Fair Isle.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fun-boden-items#post-1969451 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:02:31 +0000 Anonymous 1969451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some of my latest Boden purchases: two skirts (chevron and pink/maroon) and a fair isle sweater. All are staying. Quality is lovely. What a treat. Styled a few different ways. I don’t like 9. I see KKards has the same sweater!</p> <p>***Should I get the other colourway in the fair isle sweater or get something else? I would like another mid-weight sweater.***</p> <p>For sizing in the skirts, I chose size US4/UK 8 which is my usual size and it was perfect. The size charts had me in a US6/UK10 but the garment sizes had me in the 4/8 so I crossed my fingers and ordered the smaller size. I was correct and the 4/8 fits like a glove with some ease in the hips (my widest area). The waist is a little big but good for tucking in sweaters.</p> <p>You will also see a boden blazer in the photos. Is 5 too much? Attempted pattern mixing there.</p> <p>I also got a couple of sweaters from BR that are meant to be off-the-shoulder (I think) but I wear it as kind of a boat neck look. No bra strap showing. When worn with topper, they can be converted to cowl necks . Handy!</p> <p>I don’t have my sock boots yet so my tall winter boots and khaki booties are stand-ins. </p>
