Oh, Hello: Boden

My ongoing quest to buy clothes without going broke--or resenting the retail industry for hiking up prices by almost 6% to make up for the pandemic--continues and brings me to: Boden for grown-ass women. Like me, you probably associated the Brit heritage brand with looks for little ones and fussy U.K. mummies. But they have stepped up their offerings for modern women, so check out the suiting (sadly the hot pink blazer is about to sell out, but the corduroy set will run you less than $300) and this lurex navy crop top and skirt ($220), which feels perfect for a barefoot dinner party with a choker or big gold hoops. Just bought this chic velvet blazer with embroidery a minute ago, literally. Follow me on Insta to see me style the blazer for work and after-hours.
