Spring Boden Purchases: Dresses

Happy Friday! 

I posted a while ago about coveting several items in Boden's spring catalog.  I finally took the plunge and got a few pieces that I am very happy with.
 
Here is the Sicily Spot Dress,  It's made out of a soft and luxurious cotton.  I think it will be great on a summer Saturday, or even at work.  For a fun look, I'll pair it with red wedge sandals, but if I do wear it to work, I'll pair it with the nude shoes and bag I also got in this order (will post that review soon).   Even though I'm suprised at myself for buying this because I usually prefer pindot polka dots--I think the navy color keeps it from being too garish.  Now I only have to wait for some warm weather to get this sucka out of the closet!
 



 
Next up: the Sassy Silk Dress.  I really love the shape and quality of this dress.  I think it will be great for any daytime events where I want to be dressed up.  This dress is definitely on my Rome packing list: I think I'm going to wear it when we go to the Vatican...fitting, no?  This dress is a size 4; unfortunately, it's pretty tight in the bust area.  I think if I do end up losing that last five pounds it will be fine, though.
 



All in all, I have to say that I'm very pleased with the quality and detail of these items, and I am will definitely be adding to my burgeoning Boden collection in seasons to come.
