Mine, too. Can't afford too many items, though.

I only buy at end of year clearance. Love the quality.

As for women's clothes, I wonder, where do you wear this stuff. It's to frilly for home but too "fancy" for work.

Depends where you work. I've found some great Boden pieces for my business casual office.

Talk about frumpy.

I am talk and live their dresses because they come in longs. All other brands I've tired are too short for work. I tend to buy plain Boden dresses and then wear funky accessories.

Anthropologie is hit or miss. Sizing is all over the place and most items I've bought had such crappy construction for the price that I returned.

Boden has very well made items, but as others said can be matronly. I usually only try dresses and skirts with a 4.3 rating or hight.

I like it a lot, but it does take a while to figure out what works for you. Wait til they have the free shipping and returns. I've placed about 5 orders there and ended up returning about half. But the half I kept I absolutely love! I particularly like their blouses and button down tops and also the dresses. Pants are a no for me and a lot of the skirts have been either too long or too wide a cut.
