My favorite roll-out of early Spring Collection has to be from Boden. From the shoes and blouses to the pants and dresses, everything is just so pretty. I can’t even pick a favorite. I do like the Polperro Top but it does look like it will not fit broad shoulders very well. There’s an image on the site where it looks like it is cut tight across the chest on the model.

I would love to get the Bistro Short in the Breton Stripe. I do need some new Wideleg Jeans and maybe pair them with the Marion Top in Mandarin/Navy Stripe. And how easy to wear is the Broderie Jersey Dress. I’d be comfortable all Spring. Lastly, I thought I wanted the Seatown Shirtdress in Navy Big Dot but I love the colors and stripes of the Multi Blues Stripes.

And how cute are these shoes? The Vienne Point Flat comes in a variety of solid colors as well as two in stripes.

Dina, over at My Superfluities Blog is my go-to gal for all things Boden, including fit and reviews. I want to look as good as she does when she wears her Boden.

What has been your favorite roll-out from retailers? Waiting on late Spring or Summer? All shopped out?

Have a Great Day!

I placed my first Boden order a few weeks ago. Dina always has great reviews of Boden so I finally took the plunge. First, the Chic Denim Mini, size 8 in Indigo, fits well and is sitting on my hips. Because of this, the approximately 19 1/2 inch length is a little longer then my preferred just-above-the-knee length. There isn’t any extra room in the waist or hips so sizing to a 6 is not an option. Despite that, this is a great basic denim skirt that will look great with heels or flats. Easy to throw on for the Spring and tights and boots will transition this to Fall and Winter.

The Audrey Sweater in Navy Stitch is a size Medium. This is a wonderful sweater and fits perfectly. This is definitely something I will purchase again. The Cerulean Blue and Ivory are next on my list. One way i know that I love an item is that I wear it immediately. Within days, and because we had another temp drop, I was able to wear this sweater during my week in the office. I was comfortable and chic all day.

The Embroidered Shirt, size 8, intrigued me because of the Navy/White combo and because of the embroidery. The fit through the shoulders and chest is good but the length seems a little short, even for me. I tucked it into the Chic Denim Mini and after a little movement it started to come un-tucked. Though I love the embroidery in the front I am on the fence with this shirt.

Last is the Great White Shirt. I’ve been on the hunt for a White shirt that is not “plain Jane” and I think I’ve found it! This is the short-sleeved version and is a GREAT fit in the size 8. I steamed the ruffles and added a Jackie Cardigan over it for a long day at the office, then a Good-Bye Happy Hour and The Boy’s soccer game. I cannot wait to wear this shirt again. Absolutely Love IT!!!

I am very happy with my new Boden items and will definitely be searching their site for my next purchases. 
Have a Great Week!
