Good morning my friends, I know that I am not alone when I say that after being home for the last 10 months I am starting to miss dressing up or actually wearing anything besides yoga clothes. Don’t get me wrong, I love to be at home, in fact it is my favorite place to be but even my introvert personality is starting to get a little antsy. I also love comfortable clothes but sometimes I like to get dressed up and go to a dinner party or just out and about.
I miss seeing family, packing my suitcase with some fun outfits and heading off to a new or familiar destination, to remedy that I’ve been looking at a few things to add to my Spring and Summer wardrobe and thought I would share a few with you today just in case you are looking for a few things too.
Boden is a wonderful English company that I like to peruse for new and unique pieces; dresses, and sweaters are my “go-to” pieces from here because they are colorful, whimsical, true to size and good quality. But they also have cute shoes, accessories, shirt, pants and more. Not only that they have clothing for the men and children in your house too, I am partial to the kids clothes because they are so cute and colorful, they make great gifts as well.
I LOVE everything about this Boden dress, the vibrant colors, and the shape and length. This is my all-time favorite style of dress because it works well for my hour glass figure. If you are not looking for a dress Boden also offers this same pattern in a shirt.
This embroidered top would be great with shorts, pants and jeans. The crisp white and blue is a classic addition to your wardrobe.
You can never go wrong with a skirt, you an dress it up or down and I find they are also very comfortable.
This dress is another of my favorite silhouettes, it is linen and the touch of color is perfect. You will have this piece for years to come.
Because everyone needs a little sparkle in their lives.
Boden has so many beautiful things in their most recent collection to add a little color, sparkle or sophistication to your next Zoom call or date night in.
Are you a Boden fan? What do you typically purchase from them? If you have an item that you love please share.
Have a wonderful and safe weekend.

I am a fan of Boden too. I've bought shoes (usually a good fit in my normal US size but occasionally too wide), pants (I like a cut they call Richmond that they've offered for several years), sweaters, and festive occasion clothing, which I think they do very well (of course, I did not need any of that this year). My regular US size is almost always right but occasionally too big across the shoulders and/or too tight around the bust; I'm a D cup and I think they cut their clothing for smaller. In most cases quality is commensurate with the price but I've ordered the occasional dud. Fortunately, Boden covers the cost of mailing items back. It can take longer to receive your order as sometimes it is shipped from the UK rather than their US warehouse in PA. I just ordered some workout wear which is the first time I've ordered that type of thing from them.
PS – Did you order any of the items shown here? I'm interested in your reaction.
Hi Elizabeth – hope all is well there.
I'm not a fitted dress person – or shape – at all, but that is a beautiful print and makes one want to get to the shore soon, pretty please!
I love the blue print skirt though and would wear that with a similar top but not tucked.
I've bought Boden for kids as gifts long ago, but never this brand for myself.
Sizing in the UK is often a lot different from here so I prefer to shop over there in person when visiting home. Sadly I missed going last year and now have my doubts we'll even get to go as planned this spring. . . .perhaps in the fall though, fingers crossed.
Stay well and safe dear.
