I think I might try that longline Breton. I'm quite long in the body, and I'm not a fan of a chilly gap between jeans and top!! xx

It's a real wardrobe staple isn't it? You could always come try mine on for size...either before or at my Boden party on the 1st October! x

Hi Charlotte and thank you for your lovely comment...

Hi Charlotte and thank you for your lovely comment - it's great that you've found the blog. So yes...I have found the same with the regular length breton and perhaps my comparison is not quite fair as I'm sure the regular one was a little longer when it arrived. Will measure again when I've washed the longer line one a few times!
I'm hoping I don't have second thoughts on the lille's but yes...autumn and ankle boots beckon. Avril x

I'm wearing that Boden breton today - mine is from a couple of years ago, actually could be 3 or 4 years (cringe) - and am very drawn to the long line version as I find this one way too short and the arms are practically 3/4 length. May order that one, though if the Joules version is thicker... hmm

Hi Avril, have just recently discovered your blog on my hunt to become more stylish & make more considered clothing purchases! I have to say I really agree about the length on the Boden breton tops. I find that they are fine when new, but after a few washes they shrink to that "just too short" length that doesn't look so nice. I have to confess though that the Lille flats are lovely - I quite like the toe cleavage look though, although not so practical for autumnal days!
Looking forward to reading more of your excellent blog in the coming weeks & months.

I have the Joules ones too and while I like them, I do love the softness and stretchiness of the Boden ones....I find they each work with different jackets/styles of jeans etc. The Boden one works well under lighter jackets for instance but my Joules one works better with skinny jeans :)
Can never have too many stripe tops eh?! And thanks for the code too Suzanne!! xx

Thanks Lynne! Loving your customised denim shirt today - haven't had a chance to comment but will later on x

That's interesting Annemarie - thanks for your feedback. I think they're so dependent on foot shape and sizing too - I am more of a 39.5 in Boden shoes but not all of them come in the half size. Ax

2015-09-08T15:22:58.654+01:00

Thanks Donna - I'm persistent if nothing else. Haven't bought the ones I will go for yet - doing my 'wait a few days and work out how many outfits I'd get out of them' approach...which means they'll be sold out when I go back! x

2015-09-08T15:21:39.688+01:00

Haha - don't we all love hiding the derriere though it's arguable whether it looks better in horizontal stripes!?! x

I've gone off the Boden Bretons and have adopted the Joules Mariners tops instead.There is 20% off Joules from Thursday (code ENJOY) so I'm going to treat myself to a new one!

Boden's lillie flats I found to be very uncomfortable, I know quite a few bloggers have sang there praises, but I was left with quite a few blisters with them, so you ant missing much there Avril in my opinion. x

Oh I love creamy look Avril - so simple and yet so effective. Also love the scarf in the second pic. I got one from H&M a couple of years ago and I love it.
What a shame the shoes don't work. I'm laughing at your third time of ordering!
