I have to say a bit thank you to the team at Boden who've been so supportive of my blog right from the start. I'm a huge fan and this tunic didn't disappoint. I love that it's breton style but not red or blue. The stripes are taupe and cream so I was able to wear it with this cream H&M scarf (similar) I've had in my wardrobe since last summer.
As an avid tunic wearer, I was pleased to find the length is perfect - nothing worse than a too long tunic - it must be mid thigh! This one's perfect for me at 5'6" (and three quarters). The pockets are brilliant too. Every mum needs pockets in her clothes!

ReplyDeleteWell done to your little boy on his rugby award. My boy has just finished his first season and got an award for the player with the Highest Work Rate in the U6 group, he loves his rugby so much.
Not sure if I will be able to watch when it goes to full contact!
