I wanted this dress in the green print. Not totally practical for me, but I just loved the print. The original price was kind of high because it was not really a "work" dress, and it is not washable :( So I kept looking at it- it was not in stock for about 3 mos anyway... and I thought about the price when it was 10% and 20% off but I just could not fork over the $. The sale price was tempting but I guess I would have liked it for half of that! Today there was "low stock" -ominous- so I finally pushed the "buy" button. Still not sure this will not be too big or too long. It looks nice on you, but my track record with Boden, since there is no petite, is not 100%. I did read ALL the reviews awhile back and they were overwhelmingly positive, so I will just cross my fingers. Liking a print does not always guarantee a good look.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11823118794294237278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-6763183039854526842009-12-15T11:28:40.330-05:002009-12-15T11:28:40.330-05:00Kristin: Fishnets are not normally my thing, but I...Kristin: Fishnets are not normally my thing, but I think they look really good with this sort of "retro" dress. :)<br /><br />Rosa, Cleo26, and HeidiG.: Thank you, ladies. ;)dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-11553011247782327482009-12-14T16:49:53.451-05:002009-12-14T16:49:53.451-05:00Dress is so perfect on you!Dress is so perfect on you!HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-31328508808520255002009-12-13T23:31:08.456-05:002009-12-13T23:31:08.456-05:00Your outfits are so nice, Dina.

(Makes it like J. Crew that way...ugh...)<br /><br />I bet you could pull off florals, if you keep the rest of the outfit a bit more sedate...hence my navy coat, simple jewelry and mid-heels. (Although fishnets, hmm, maybe not so demure...haha.) :)<br /><br />Anon, thanks for the idea.

It kept me from buying several sale items b/c of mixed reviews.

Just because it's marked down doesn't mean I don't need to know what people have to say about fit and wear!<br /><br />I so wish the black was still in stock! I don't know if I can pull off the florals like you can!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286383554331792209noreply@blogger.com
