Well, I turned up the AC today and tried it on with jeans, booties, and a sweater, and showed it to hubs. He confirmed m feelings: it's a nice coat, and we like the idea of it, but it's too much fabric flapping around my chest. He said it makes me look "big." Nope nope nope.

So that's going back, and we'll have $600 more to play with in Scandinavia!
