Style Theory: 25% off Boden until Monday 30th with free delivery and returns (with code EGGS) always a great time to get a few key items that will work as excellent basics for your summer wardrobe, also a few extra special accessories that will add a wow factor to an outfit.
So first the items that have caught my eye this season and ideas of how to style them...
The Chic, Useful Cardigan
Boden Favourite Cardigan £36.75 (25% off) |
A versatile piece, can be thrown over a white t-shirt, denim shorts and strappy tan sandals. With a maxi dress or in the summer with white top and jeans. Here are a few ideas...
The Cashmere Sweater
Cashmere Crew Neck Navy £74.25 (25% off) |
I have a navy cashmere sweater and it is one of the most luxurious, most worn items in my wardrobe. Boden cashmere is fabulously soft and machine washable. I wear mine with distressed jeans and heels (with my Boden Alice heels as they have navy in them- great for a dressed down/dressed up look) and a bright coat. I also like to wear with t-shirt underneath and denim shorts and sandals, keeps me just the right temperature on warmer UK days.
Merino Wool Sweater £17.70 |
The Breton
Long Sleeve Breton £18.75 (25% off) |
I have had two of these Boden bretons for a few years, they wash well and keep their shape and colour. A wardrobe staple, can be worn year after year after year..
The Denim/Chambray Dress
April Tunic Dress £55.30 |
A really useful price, wear with black opaque tights and black shoes boots in the colder, spring days. In the summer pair with white/silver Superga's for a laid back, comfortable look.
The Summer Event Dress
Long Sleeve Selina Dress £104.25 (25% off) |
I love the print of this dress, it reminds me a little of the D&G dress Keira Knightley wore (see below). I would add some a little colour to this with a pair of pale (or even bright) pink shoes and some matching lipstick for a fabulous wedding guest outfit.
The Killer Accessories
Alice Mid Heels £89.25 (25% Off) |
The heel of the season, bright, fun chic and really wearable. I have worn mine loads, they can be matched and clashed with so many outfits. Dress them up, dress them down you will wear them non-stop.
Lille Lace-Ups £66.75 |
The lace up shoe is a key look for Spring Summer 15, these are stunning versions and with 25% off more affordable.
Definitely worth having a little browse if you are in summer clothes shopping mode. The Alice shoes have a couple of weeks wait for delivery but they will still be the 25% off price if bought today or tomorrow. Right I am off to order a few items..
Are you a Boden basics fan, how do you find their clothing? I have got to admit I always have to have a bit of a search through as lots of it is not my style but I do love the styles above and I always buy my kids a few items (on the 25% off days) for each season as I do find the kids clothes really last and my two wear their Boden outfits loads.
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, until next time Frances xx
*this was not a sponsored post I just thought the 25% off made the items I have been looking at over the last few months a little more affordable!

Oh the red breton - am so tempted. I have a bit of a stripe 'problem' but there's no red so there's a hole there right?!?! I love the Alice heels, especially as it's my youngest's name but I definitely don't need more heels in my life right now.....I say that but who knows! Great pic's, really debating the breton! x
ReplyDeleteI have just seen on Twitter that you bought the red stripe breton, it will look fab on you and thanks so much for the tip off on the merino sweater xxxx
DeleteYeah totally gonna go buy the Breton now with my no money x lush post x
ReplyDeleteIt will look fab under your Burberry Mac Ange xxx
DeleteThe Summer Event dress is such a ringer for the dress Keira is wearing, I would have totally overlooked that in the Boden brochure but it is stunning! Some great picks Frances xx
ReplyDeleteIsn't the dress fabulous, I love it but definitely think it needs a pop of colour with accessories xx
DeleteI'm not a huge fan of Boden if I'm honest, but that's probably because the free delivery & returns don't apply to Ireland, so by the time you convert from sterling and factor in the delivery costs, it works out quite expensive. Having said that, you've chosen some lovely pieces and those shoes are divine!
ReplyDeleteAhh that is such a pain you don't benefit from the reduction on prices in Ireland! Xx
Deletewhat size did you order not ordred from boden and we are similar size thinking 8 or 10
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, I ordered a size 10 as I have a bit of a tummy so I need sweaters to be a little generous around the tummy area! I think if anything in general Boden comes up very slightly large so if you are looking for a neat fit try 8, for a more generous fit go for a 10 xx
DeleteHi Frances, I ordered the pink Alice mid heel pumps...to be delivered after april 20th, so hopefully the weather will be improved and I can wear them straight away!
ReplyDeleteHi, the pink Alice shoes are stunning, they look fab on. Really really hope the weather is better at the end of April, fingers crossed!! Xxxx
