Suit of the Week: Boden

112 Comments

1. This is so pretty. What body shape does Boden work best for?

   1. Short-waisted, unless something is offered in a long torso size, like their swim.

   2. Short and straight. It’s terrible for me as a tall hourglass

      1. And I find it’s great for that shape, which is me exactly – it may depend on what you order?

         1. Same. A huge percentage of my clothes are Boden and I have an extraordinarily long torso (30% longer than the average ratio), huge chest (32GG), and broad hips. Very hourglass. 5’8″. I am very particular about what I order.

            1. I should add that ALL the extra torso length for me is below a very high belly button, i.e the rise. I am normal to short from the narrowest part of my waist to my shoulder but I am like a cartoon otherwise, a real life Jessica Rabbit. With very muscley thighs. Let me tell you I am a joy to dress!

         2. I just bought the Bronte Knitted Ribbed Shirt Dress and the Clara Cord Midi Dress in long, Emerald Embroidered and got a half dozen compliments on both.

   3. Short

   4. As a slightly long-waisted, hourglass person with “huge tracts of land”, for years I have returned almost everything I have ever ordered due to fit issues. My last order was a couple of months ago, and though I did keep a sweater out of it I decided I’m swearing off of Boden.

      1. lol, I read this in character voice. Thanks for the laugh!

   5. Straight – definitely not hourglass or anything approaching curves. Which is too bad because it is all cute.

   6. Interesting, I have a pear shape and find their skirts and pants work really well. I do find their jackets too roomy in the chest and far too short waisted.

2. How can I find out what federal agencies have furloughed workers? If a federal worker is still working without pay, what are the chances that they would attend a conference that is local to them?

   1. Depends, will there be meals served?

   2. It’s questionable whether feds are even allowed to interact with someone with whom they have a work relationship during a furlough. So I doubt they’d go to a conference now, even a free (because I would not expect a furloughed worker to pay thousands out of pocket to attend a conference right now) local one.

      1. But what if they aren’t furloughed and are still working without pay?

         1. Would they have extra time and no childcare or commuting constraints if working without pay?

         2. They’re still not going to be allowed to go.

            I can’t explain enough how much our hands are tied right now.

            A lot of outreach must be approved at the Secretary level now.

   3. Feds who are currently working would probably not be able to attend conferences. Travel/training funds are also on pause or on severe limitation due to optics, and taking time off would be frowned upon.

   4. I think it would be hard to justify that

   5. the feds that I know through work that still work, are explicitly barred from outward facing stuff like conferences. And if they are on furlough, they can’t legally do any work.

      1. Yes, if they are furloughed they can’t attend and if they are exempt (working without pay) they can’t attend.

         But to answer the question about which agency has furloughed people it’s all executive branch agencies.

   6. If furloughed, we can do NOTHING work related (so as to not violate the anti deficiency act).

      If excepted, we can only do very, very specific duties as required for safety of human life or protection of public property.

      If exempt, we can more or less do our jobs.

      However, almost any public facing or external communication has been banned (for months, this is not due to the lapse). No one is allowed to go to any conference for any reason righy now.

   7. It depends. Here’s my story. I am a contractor and think that some in my (very large) agency are still working. (And although a contractor, I am held to the same requirements and prohibitions as a fed, often comically more restrictive.)

      I’m on leave without pay now, having used up my PTO. I won’t get back pay. If there were a local conference on some interest of mine, I’d be interested and I can’t think of what would prohibit me from going.

      I’m accustomed to paying for my own educational activities because I see that as an investment in myself and I love to keep up with my field–and this benefit isn’t offered to me by my employer. I’ve been in contact with my teammates these past few weeks, in short texts initiated by my team lead.

      So all this to go back to say “it depends.” No one could stop me from attending a local conference, no cost or that I paid for on, say, “Introducing AI in Your Documentation Using Adobe Premiere Pro.” And if I ran into a co-worker there, also no big deal. Now is the perfect time for this.

      1. I’m curious if you can use your sick leave for this? Or just vacation?

         1. sorry just to clarify: if you attend a conference for your own personal development, I guess that’s quite different from talking about your work or in any way representing your agency.

            When you mentioned being furloughed and being out of PTO, I wonder if sick leave can be used there. Since my fed contractor is still operating but we are definitely discussing scenarios for shutting down.

   8. My suggestion would be to contact the agencies themselves or if someone you personally know at the agency, get in touch with them.

   9. Thanks for the replies from those in the know. It is pretty clear from the responses that feds will not be presenting their papers at this conference as scheduled. I didn’t want to ask my contacts directly because it seemed rude.

      Very disappointing but not at all surprising.

3. For the other ADHDers here — how do you move the day along and keep track of time? I end up setting a lot of timers and have alarms but I’m wondering if there’s a better way.

4. I am so annoyed by so many petty things. How can I tell if this is perimenopause or if I’ve just become a generally rage-y person? I do have an appointment coming up with my ob gyn, but I’ve started to wonder if this is my new default state as a woman of a certain age. Among the things I cannot deal with… forced AI in everything, working out six days a week and being hungry all the time and GAINING weight, a friend who is less available than I want her to be, a friend who is TOO available and makes me feel smothered, my sibling who I am both jealous of and annoyed by, the fact that I never sleep through the night anymore, feeling irrelevant in my field, feeling old in my field, feeling like I’ve accomplished nothing but somehow worked hard to do so…

   thanks for listening.

   1. This sounds like depression. I know we’re all having the word perimenopause shoved down our throats 24 hours a day now and hormones do play a role in depression, but this sounds like straightforward irritability to me.

      1. +1

         Anxiety/depression and poor sleep are very common symptoms with perimenopause. And increased irritability can be a sign of depression.

   2. For me, perimenopause heightened my emotional responses during the PMS times of the month. So I might be highly irritated for two weeks a month rather than 5 days like before. But the tearyness also hit me harder, etc.. It wasn’t an “always rage-y all the time” experience.

      What you’re describing sounds more like symptoms of a high-stress/low-margin lifetstyle. Or burnout. Or mid-life crisis. Or crisis of meaning. Or lack of sleep. Or depression. Or some pieces of all of the above.

   3. Could be perimenopause, could be depression.
      In terms of bucketing them out – meds/talk therapy helped with rage, family relationships (setting boundaries/venting/validation), work boundaries and figuring out how I want to approach the final ~20ish working years I have.
      In terms of weight gain/issues sleeping/pelvic floor issues – that was perimenopause. Hormones, increased exercise, more supplements, and a closer eye on my eating/drinking (less alcohol and more water) helped.
      As I’ve reported to my husband and best friend I was shocked to report that more sleep, more time outside/moving my body, more protein, and magnesium at night made a huge difference in my quality of life

      1. You’ve already gotten some good responses, but I’ll throw this out there – sometimes re-training your brain to notice the good things happening can help.
         Mel Robbins had a podcast recently about 8 things to tell yourself everyday. The mind shift has helped me out of my blahs on some days. it’s about having a mindset that it will be a great day and that sometimes you have to try to be in a good mood for no reason at all. She’s much more articulate, but I thought it had good tips.

   4. Aww I’m sorry – that list includes a lot of things that make sense to feel hurt and angry about. It sounds like it could be both hormonal and also a little bit of depression / mid-life reckoning. Things like feeling irrelevant in your field and having accomplished nothing are really heavy.

      For periods where I feel like my emotions are overwhelming and rage-y, I find EMDR extremely helpful. It works through processing underlying emotions rather than having you try to talk yourself out of them. It sounds like a lot of really big and deep feelings might be underneath the surface but are manifesting as rage at small annoyances.

      This is definitely not how you will be for the rest of your life and it’s already a testament to your emotional maturity that you are aware of it and looking for insight into it.

   5. Midlife reckoning, with maybe some depression thrown in. I 100% feel the same way right now.

      1. I feel like you get to a certain age and you’ve just hit your lifetime quota of BS. All the more so if one is of an age and culture where as a female child you were raised to be pleasing, and accommodating, and be the person who smoothed things over and made everyone else comfortable.

         1. Bingo!

         2. This!

   6. Ditto for me. Hormones took the edge off, but still feel these things.

   7. This sounds like me when I am burned out. Not officially perimenopausal yet so can’t compare.

   8. It’s never a bad idea to see your GP to see if there is something physical going on, but I’m around the same age and I’ve feel like I’ve hit some kind of lifetime exposure limit for BS. No, you may not cut to the front of the line because you think your reason for needing assistance with your MOBILE PHONE is better than my reason for needing assistance. No, I’m not going to drive faster than the speed limit on a residential road because you’ve decided to tailgate me. No, I’m not going to answer another survey from the school that will just be ignored.

   9. You’ve already gotten some good responses, but I’ll throw this out there – sometimes re-training your brain to notice the good things happening can help.

      1. I’m a big fan of using stress reduction techniques. This program yourself to be a nice cheery girl stuff is really offensive

   10. I feel like I was you six months ago. I have a husband, 3 kids, and was just…kind of drifting and always cranky.

       I am not saying it is right for you, but we got a dog and everything is better. Dog is young but not a puppy and he’s just the best. He loves me unconditionally and always wants to hang out. I think in hindsight, that’s what was missing ;).

   11. After decades in the workforce and despite having a really successful career, at one point I just completely lost the ability to deal with the constant discrimination. My last straw was when a major prospective client wanted to meet all the female partners in my practice area and firm leadership intervened and sent a man with less experience and a smaller client following to lead the presentation instead of me. I was incandescent with rage and then in the next comp cycle they told me I needed to work with a coach because I was being difficult. For the rest of my career I spent as little time in the office as humanly possible, refused all the bs administrative work they weight women down with, and only took on matters that came directly to me so they could not mess with the staffing. If you have reached a similar point, anger is a perfectly acceptable response. Women are entitled to feel anger. You don’t need to pretend it’s untreated depression and numb yourself with anti depressants. Instead, focus on how to best support yourself in this chapter of your life

5. Rosacea checking in — I think this suit would be nude-for-me

   Not doing vest-as-blouse; did that in 1996.

   1. Haha, same

6. If your boss told you, with these words only, nothing more, “I need background on State Official ASAP,” what info would you think to send?

   I went to LinkedIn and took a screenshot of this person’s job history and education and sent those to my boss. Instead, what my boss wanted was an overview of this person’s current job description. These kinds of crossed wires happen every week at work. I’ve been told before that I need to ask more questions (I’m 44!), but on something like this, asking for clarification would make me look like an idiot. But I’m tired of frustrating communications like this meaning that it looks like I’m forever dropping the ball.

   I’d really love to hear right now that “background” does not mean “current job description” to you and means something more like “the past.” Sigh.

   1. “Background on Xyz” is different than “Xyz’s background”…

      I’d also not use LinkedIn even if you though your boss wanted their background. They’re a state official, they have an official bio for a reason. Use that.

      Bonus, that bio would include their background and their current portfolio.

   2. Would be clearer if it was indicated whether background meant the person’s background vs background for project X relating to this person. Obvi, you heard the former but your boss meant the latter. I sympathize with you.

   3. I don’t think asking for clarification would make you look like an idiot. I also disagree that your inability to read minds made it looked like you dropped a ball. Was it a big deal to your boss?

   4. When I’m dealing with a vague request, I usually phrase it back “In addition to sending their LI info, is there anything else you would like me to include?” Getting them to specify scope of work this way shows you are problem solving but also puts accountability right back on them if the output isn’t what they want. I know, it’s maddening.

   5. I think you should ask questions if you are confused! Your boss is being vague, but also if you are unsure of what he wants, always ask.

      To answer your question, for that specific example, I would have looked up any write-ups on the State Official, any interviews, looked up their title and tried to find a job description (like a job posting for that title) even if their Linkedin didn’t have one, and then researched the org or department to see what the main work was and function. I think screenshotting the LinkedIn reads a bit lazy or passive aggressive, since your boss could find the LinkedIn in 30 seconds himself. Generally a good idea to try to make it look like you exhausted any resources available online.

   6. I mean, I certainly would have asked, but I don’t know your job and what your typical responsibilities are. Though I am pretty shocked you literally just sent them a LinkedIn screen shot. He could have done that it 5 seconds. S/he clearly wanted more than that.

      And no, like you I would have not assumed he wanted “current job description”.

      1. This.

   7. Cold comfort, but I would have interpreted “background” similarly.

      If you’ve been told you need to ask questions …. you need to ask questions! “To make sure I’m getting the right info – how are you planning to use this background? Do you want a lot of detail or a 10,00 ft view?”

      If you ARE asking questions and your boss is being a turd about it (but still wanting you to ask), then it’s a different problem and your boss sucks.

   8. I think there are two hints here 1) people have told you you need to ask more questions 2) you still believe asking questions makes you look like an idiot. Seems like you have a huge block on asking questions and clarification, and it’s led to communication gaps with your boss. Ask questions. You are not a mindreader, but neither is your boss – he can’t know if you’re confused by his requests unless you tell him.

      1. Yep, always ask for context too – there’s a lot of interpretations of that question and unless you’ve done similar before for this person, you need to ask. Your age is irrelevant.

   9. Eh, I would have been frustrated with you too if you just sent me a screen shot from LinkedIn. If someone is asking you for background, they are asking for something that is more than what they could easily do themselves. That could be something like (1) summarizing what’s on linked in or (2) taking it a level past. What I’m typically looking for is information like what is their current position, what they did before (industry, any potential for common friends), then a bit of background – any charities or organizations they are involved in, what school they went to, anything I can use to make small talk and find something to connect on.

   10. I have a boss with a rushed communication style. If I received that text or email, I would probably assume “background” included job history, education, where the official is from and/or where they live, party affiliation (if available), major news stories, and passion projects. I would probably include their current job, but more in the context of “State Official was appointed to Current Position by Governor in 20XX.” I doubt I would think to describe the general responsibilities of Current Position. If my boss needed that, she would email “Who is State Official?” or “What does State Official do?”

       FWIW, I’m 41, my boss knows that her communications are sometimes unclear, and I have full permission to ask questions. And I agree with you that this request doesn’t seem to require clarification. I do frequently close emails with, “Please let me know if you need any additional information.” My boss is pretty reasonable and would just respond with what she needed if I didn’t provide that initially. I’d send that over, and that would be the end of it.

   11. I’d hear that and think it meant “what their authority is, what perspective they’re coming from” – relevant to how Boss would want to interact or negotiate with them – vs a literal CV.

       But the big picture is your boss seems to want you to ask questions so…. why not do so?

       1. I don’t think she knows that she needs to ask questions. We have the same problem with all of our junior staff, but they are <5 years out of school. The boss wonders why they don't ask questions when they don't understand something. The reason is that they don't even realize that they don't understand. Even if they do have that level of self-awareness, they don't know what question to ask.

   12. I would interpret “background on State Official” to mean their bio, political affiliation if appointed, when appointed and by whom, pet issues and history of involvement, publications/major cases/major achievements, and any notable professional relatioships or rivalries. Basically what makes this person tick and how they are influenced.

   13. I would expect something a lot more fulsome than a screen shot of LinkedIn, which as others have said, your boss could look up herself in 30 seconds if that’s all she wanted. For a state official, I’d want to know, how did they get into the position, what does their role cover, who are their significant colleagues, what statements have they made or positions have they taken publicly, media coverage, any significant administrative or legal proceedings they’ve been involved in, and those are just a few things off the top of my head.

       “Background” just means, I want to know about this person. Hopefully you know enough about your boss’ role or your organization’s mission that it was clear why they wanted to know it, and you could have tailored your information to that, as well.

   14. If I asked a teenage intern to do this and they sent me a LinkedIn screenshot I’d br letting them know it’s inappropriate, lazy, and not what I asked for.

       You’ve been in the workforce for 20 years. I’d definitely expect better.

       1. I can imagine doing it if it were literally needed ASAP – like my boss was on a call with the official and didn’t want to search; although I’d stick a 2 bullet point summary with the link : “this is their first political job; was appointed last year; used to work for competitor X”.

   15. Sorry, but if I were asking this question I would want current info relevant to an upcoming conversation, event, meeting, etc. and I would assume you have enough context to understand what I do to take a guess at what info would be relevant.

       That might mean a summary of current news headlines, a list of projects or committees they are involved in, latest scandal gossip, what reason they scheduled a call with me.

       I would expect an intern to just screenshot LinkedIn (I can do that myself), but would expect someone of your age and presumed experience to put a bit more effort and critical thinking into this. And yes, if I wasn’t clear, I would want you to ask an intelligent question (“any particular content you are looking for? How soon – 1 minute, 1 hour?”) so I’m not left scrambling because you didn’t understand the assignment.

   16. I received a set of towels for college as a graduation gift and continued to use them until I got married and put an updated set on the registry. Things that go to college can last a long time.

       1. this nesting fail is delightful.

   17. A screen shot is pretty much never acceptable. You should at the very least be summarizing things into a paragraph.

   18. If this helps, when I need more info from my boss, I always say yes to the assignment first and then ask the questions. It makes me a lot less worried that questions will come across as contrary/pushing back (even though I know they shouldn’t)

       So — “Anon, I need background info on this official ASAP”
       “Yep; any context I should know?”

       Or another tactic is offering a default-suggestion, so if my boss doesn’t know the answer (or wants me to make the decision), they have something easy to say Yes to:
       “Anon, CTO wants a report on XYZ project for the board meeting”
       “On it, do you have any info on what he wants to focus on, or should I start with the smorgasboard version and we’ll adjust based on his feedback?”

   19. I would expect a lot more than a screenshot. Background to me means I would expect any publically available information about this person. Age, adress, bio, education, board experience, stock ownership, hobbies, spouse, political connection, contact information – whatever is easily and publically available. I would assume you would do a 30 minute search on whatever tools you have available and make a summary.

       I would not, however, expect this persons’s current job description. That is a different ask altogether.

7. Who ITA in this situation? I have a coworker who is always in a bad mood. Just a generally miserable person. We were on a flight together recently that was delayed. She was several rows ahead of me in an aisle seat. In a seat several rows behind me was a woman who had a tight connecting flight. After we landed, the woman, kindly but urgently, asked everyone if she could get ahead in the aisle to hopefully make her connecting flight, which was boarding in 5 minutes. Everyone let her go, except for my coworker, who stood up and blocked the woman from getting any farther. I was aghast. I don’t see how the woman made her flight. My coworker ITA, right? I mean, who does that? I then saw my coworker again at baggage claim waiting for our checked bags to come down the chute (which always takes a little while). It’s not like she had anywhere to urgently be.

   1. Yes, your coworker was TA and you probably should have called her out “Hey Judy, this person needs to get by you for a connecting flight–you’re blocking her.”

   2. Did the woman ask her again, saying something like “Can I squeeze past you?” and your coworker said no? I’m confused as how she could’ve blocked her if the aisle was totally clear in front of her and she was trying to rush past, unless coworker was very close to the front. But even so, two people standing doesn’t block the ability to exit the way a line of people does?

      Yes your coworker sounds unkind, but also sounds like you are at BEC stage with her and looking for things to blow out proportion a bit. Not your monkey whether she is unkind to a stranger.

      1. Yeah but OP is smart to observe the behavior and file it away. If her co-worker is a bad person, it’s smart to understand that. Anyway an airplane is tiny. You can be blocked in by one person, and theres a couple second delay navigating around the uncooperative person because they can’t listen to instructions, then the whole aisle fills up and then you miss you flight.

   3. Kind of oblivious but you’re describing it as your coworker intentionally barring the aisle and “la la la la I can’t hear you” to the woman – as opposed to not hearing her and just standing up like everyone else on the plane does. The woman in a hurry should have asked again, and your coworker TA if still unwilling to stand aside, though at that point it’s usually a lost cause if the front half of the plane is all standing in the aisle already….

      1. She did ask again

         1. ok then yeah she’s TA.

   4. Yes, your co-worker is a total a-hole.

8. Low stakes Q: I just got a bunch of towels to replace ones that just looked a bit past their prime.

   I have 2 kids heading off to college in a bit. Save to send as whatever they have, even if nice, may just disappear in dorm laundry or get wrecked? Or spend an hour driving to donate to the closest animal shelter?

   I’d have loved to have ever had matching towels before I was 30, but I was thrifty and paying down loans, so took whatever someone gave me.

   1. Do not send icky old towels to college with your kids. Send cheap-ish ones in good condition. If the towels are not nice enough for you to use at home then they are not nice enough to be hanging in your kid’s dorm room where all her friends can see them. Donate the grungy towels to Goodwill, where they will get sold as rags or recycled.

      1. +1

         Don’t give old junk to your kid. Let her pick out some cute new towels.

         1. This right here. My kid attends a fancy private college on scholarship. The standard for dorm furnishings seems to be “not horribly worn out–maybe new from Target, maybe decent stuff from your room at home.” Don’t send old ratty things that you would otherwise donate to the animal shelter.

      2. Nonsense. If they are clean, they are more than good enough for a kid who doesn’t pay their own bills.

         1. If she’s thinking of donating them then they are faded, full of holes, or stained. Yuck.

         2. Totally. This is what we did.

   2. I mean, I’d hold on to older towels for washing animals/cleaning/whenever laundry isn’t in the cards.

   3. The answer here is teaching your kids to hang up their towels (so they don’t get moldy) and how to do laundry. Dorm laundry machines are not some secret fabric-shredding monsters.

      1. At my kid’s college the dorm laundry machines actually are monsters, though. She has had multiple loads ruined by mysterious stains that originate in the washer, things shrunk in the dryer because it only runs on hot, etc. Still not a reason to make your kid take shabby old towels.

   4. I’d save for kids going to college. My college dorm and first apartment had a lot of hand-me-down things like this from my parents. Even though they could have afforded to buy all new for me, they believed that getting the all new stuff is something you get to treat yourself to once you can afford it. What they provided was perfectly servicable and welcome, and I also enjoyed upgrading my stuff once I got into my career.

      1. I also was thinking that half of my first household was handed down from my parents (and there was still a lot of stuff we bought new!).

         1. I’m 41, and half our furniture is hand-me-downs from our parents and other relatives. Most of the rest is thrifted from estate sales and Facebook Marketplace. We probably own fewer than 10 pieces of furniture that we bought new–and most of that (from Pottery Barn, West Elm, Crate and Barrel) etc. is in worse shape than the old stuff.

         2. Still using the Tupperware I pilfered from the parents twenty years ago.

   5. Can the kids use the just-past-their-prime towels now, so your new ones stay nice even longer? If so, I’d probably do that. If not, I’d go ahead and donate the older towels unless the kids are heading to college in 2026.

   6. Or is it: do we get college kids a set of new towels and hope for the best? Everything college dorm is so over the top these days. But really, if they are white and not stained, I feel like they’d be fair game for summer camps and even college.

      I took care of my things but often couldn’t get a dryer for love or money once I had washed clothes and needed one. Or they were getting overloaded and starting fires.

      Grateful they have Color catchers now. That would have saved me from a couple of mistakes when something snuck in the wrong load.

      1. This is too much fuss about towels

         1. It’s college anxiety poster.

            1. She seriously needs to send these kids to summer camp so she can see that they will be fine.

   7. I promise it won’t break the bank for your kid to own matching towels before the age of 30.

      1. Seriously. And just throw the old ones away or recycle if your geography does that.

   8. We offered our then-freshman the option to take reasonably decent hand-me-downs from us for free, or purchase her own on her dime. I’m not talking threadbare, stained towels, just a slightly faded set with some wear on the edges, perhaps a random bleach spot here or there. These were our normal, everyday towels that were in regular rotation. She happily took all the hand-me-downs we offered.

      I am paying for college and life’s necessities, but not an aesthetic lifestyle.

   9. I received a set of towels for college as a graduation gift and continued to use them until I got married and put an updated set on the registry. Things that go to college can last a long time.

   10. I vote throw them away.

   11. Depends on how old/past their prime they are. You know whether they’re animal-shelter or college-worthy.

   12. I remember buying two towels and two washcloths before I went to college (from Walmart, coordinated with my comforter, natch) and I’m pretty sure I used them for the next 8+ years. After that they were cut up and used as cleaning rags.

       So my vote is to use your worn out towels for cleaning and spend $25 on new towels for your kids. If they get lost or ruined your kid can replace them (or air dry if they choose, they’ll figure it out)

   13. Towels were a common graduation gift when I finished high school for college. You can buy a towel set for $40 so I don’t know why you wouldn’t just give them new ones.

   14. Really depends on their condition. Do not send your kid with anything that could be embarrassing.

9. Yesterday’s discussion about the job you want after your career had an interesting follow up for me. Friends are major donors to the local zoo, so they got a behind the scenes tour of the food preparation area for the animals. The head keeper said that most of the people who work there retired from significant careers with major responsibilities. She said that they were almost always the best at following instructions on the best way to prepare food as it was needed for the particular species.

   So, there’s another way to have a cool job that the world needs!

   1. Oh my goodness, thank you for this! It was just the bit of positive news i needed!
