The Boden Woman

Boden.jpgThe Boden Woman is slender-framed, with small breasts, pointy elbows and knock-knees.

She is beautifully quirky without being weird.

She has kids who look great on her hip but they don’t really define her, you know?

Her clothes are unique but wearable. She can mix patterns (especially leopard print!) and make it look adorable, not insane.

The Boden Woman is on the go, unless she is at home. She hosts parties that are like what Kate Spade would host if she were on tranquilizers, you know, fun and funky but just a little more laid-back.

The Boden Woman is always up for a cocktail but only one. She will encourage you to get another, however.

The Boden Woman is full of quiet confidence, laden with achievements she is too modest to brag about.

The Boden Woman likes fall the best. The wind blows her hair elegantly, even when she is indoors. Otherwise, she has a perfectly messy updo that you’ll never be able to replicate without the help of a professional.

The Boden Woman’s ankles are terribly slim and were designed to wear flats and kitten heels sticking out of capri pants which makes thick-ankled women think they can also pull this look off (which they can’t.)

The Boden Woman invented the bright pants look.

The Boden Woman smiles wryly and laughs largely. She even occasionally gazes wistfully.

The Boden Woman is nothing with an adorable cropped little boyish jacket.

When the Boden Woman is being serious (or not so serious!) she puts on some thick nerdy framed glasses.

The Boden Woman would feel right at home at a party with Kate Middleton. She thinks the Anthropologie Woman is a bit frivolous and rude—I mean, really.

The Boden Woman knows how to hunt but never would.

The Boden Woman used to be about 33 or 35 but now she’s more like 25. She used to be about five pounds (or is that stone?) heavier.

The Boden Woman is most frequently white.

The Boden Woman is smart but she doesn’t want to cause a stir or see the point in being angry about things you can’t change. Why not just have fun?

The Boden Woman would like to be comfortable, or as close to comfortable as she can be, if she can help it.

The Boden Woman likes receiving compliments on her clothes for how fun they are.

The Boden Woman doesn’t eat but she will hold a triangle-cut sandwich or a brightly-colored crumbled macaron in her fingers prettily.

The Boden Woman is kind of ‘60’s, kind of ‘70’s, kind of ‘80’s but very much TODAY!

The Boden Woman is first cousin to the J. Crew woman. At a dinner party, you would rather sit next to the Boden Woman. She’s easier to have a conversation with.
