Boden love
I bought this skirt from Boden about 6 months ago and I LOVE it! It's the Autumn Printed skirt (not many colors/sizes left, unfortunately). I have worn it often and it has held up wonderfully. I wasn't sure about the fit as I was in between 2 sizes. I went with the larger size, and while I think it is a little bit loose, the smaller size would have probably been too small. I am really glad that I didn't order the long version because the regular is just right. The color is perfect - lavender really makes me happy right now:)
Here is my outfit from today (the skirt definitely shows some wrinkles after a long day, but that is to be expected, I think):
Cardigan: J. Crew (Jackie)
Cami: J. Crew
Necklace: Anthropologie
Skirt: Boden
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Dansko
Here is a close-up of the beautiful color/pattern:
If you haven't already, you should check out Dina's blog. She does a lot of Boden reviews and she even started a Boden 'buy and sell' post! Also, if you go to her blog and click on the Boden banner ad on the sidebar, you can get 15% off plus free shipping!
A couple of things I am loving from Boden right now - the Swishy Viscose Skirt (in Jade Abstract) and the Pleat Detail Wool Skirt (in Gray), which would be perfect for the office.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week!

cute skirt!!! Don't you hate it when you're all wrinkley after a long day at work?? I sure do!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristen! Oh my, That is the prettiest print the subtle flowers/ blossoms depending on each persons perspective. I have Olive skin so certain colors don't look good on me:( But this is definitely a color for you.And your shoes look so cute too. The cardigan is adorable I am a sucker for J. Crew, They outdid themselves..I don't know if I will have the courage! Have you seen the new Catalog!! Biting my Nails. And as far as wrinkles I really don't see them. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI've never shopped at Boden before, but I adore the purple hues on your skirt! And I like how you paired it with the lavender cardi. Lavender makes me happy too :)
ReplyDeleteI've never bought anything from Boden before. I just drool over the catalogs. The new spring catalog has me really wishing for the entire book of looks! I love your skirt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful print on the skirt! I'll definitely be ordering from Boden again soon.
ReplyDeleteCindi - Thanks! Yes, wrinkles are evil:)
ReplyDeleteGabby - Thank you!!! I am a sucker for J. Crew as well:) The Jackie cardigans are a staple for me (as you can probably tell).
Lisa - Thanks! At first, I thought it might be too much lavender, but I went with it anyways and ended up really liking it.
Ms. mindless - Thank you! I have been very happy with this purchase and would like to place another order soon. Yes, the spring catalog is great!
