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!
