Boden reprieve

The dress from Boden that set me off into a Nancy Mitford moment isn't a sentence in my wildest dreams I could have imagined uttering, thinking or writing. My views on Boden are a category on their own and foolishly I failed to do that on the blog labels or I could have directed you to one of my many Boden rants.

A bit of back story the Boden PR was rude/dismissive once, as was the Toast one many years ago come to think of it. Lest you forget I proudly wear my Scorpio necklace bought for my by Mr MDS for my birthday last year.


This should be evidence enough of the fact I might be trouble. So, yes you guessed it I noted the slight and took revenge. I would never say anything (except on this blog) or do anything overt I just exact a revenge that makes me happy and removes the slight. On the Boden front (and Toast too!) I stopped all my private clients from shopping from the catalogue and the removal of any products in wardrobe for a magazine shoot. I think this lasted for a year before I relented.

Whilst I will never be a fan of Boden I recognise its place in respect of many people's lifestyle and needs for cut and size of garments. I do admire the colour aspect but often find it all a bit scary! Anyway...the dress ...well I thought cocktail, (I am currently thinking this too much) a wander through the V&A, some nice stockings and heeled brogues. It is the colour, the length and the very mix of silk and jersey.


I'm tempted but actually it is time for Mr Johnnie Boden to be the better person and send me a sample to try and display - after revenge, there is nothing equally to Scorpion loyalty.
