It looks so good I almost can't stand it. I love the grey and I even love it with those pants. Very "poetry slam" cerebral arty vibe! And FWIW it looks intentionally oversized, and has great structure, isn't sloppy. It's very graphic in its larger-than-life way - reminds me of an anime figure too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase/page/2#post-551606 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:50:23 +0000 Lisa 551606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat looks a tad big at first glance, but then I notice that hem and the overall shape to it makes this a fun piece to my eye. Add some skinnies for contrast and I like it on you! Plus, if you feel fab in it, you will radiate and that is always the most attractive part of any outfit, the person wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase/page/2#post-551600 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:46:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 551600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally see you rockin' this coat with your skinnies and quilted booties! I love the slightly "Victorian-menswear" look of the coat. It's all in how you style it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase/page/2#post-551586 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:32:59 +0000 Anonymous 551586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>una, that's a FUN coat, and you know what the number one rule of YLF is right? Have fun with fashion! I love the back and sleeve detail. I think it would be great with your purple Docs, too. You defintely need a good "stomping" boot when you feel so fab.</p> <p>@Denise (CocoLion) I love your sweater too! I was expecting something hideous, and it's SO not!</p> <p>@Manidipa, the same for you! It this supposed to be an ugly sari? I think the purple by your face is wonderful. Love the bag, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase/page/2#post-551554 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:57:47 +0000 Anonymous 551554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I actually think that it's fit is ok. It would look interesting with some fitted bottoms ( pencil skirt, skinnies) and some heeled booties.<br /> I actually love the color and the look of the fabric! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase/page/2#post-551528 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:40:04 +0000 ManidipaM 551528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think while that coat isn't the 'perfect' fit, you can certainly make it work with skinnies as others have described.</p> <p>Here's my submission to the 'feels fab, looks questionable' challenge. It's a sari, in a startling colour-block pattern (the pallu or end-piece over the shoulder not seen here, emphasizes this because it is four blocks of colour that emerge from the four coloured stripes that run the length). </p> <p>The shot colours are very muted, all the kinds of shades I have great difficulty pulling off. But oh, does it feel fantastic! It's cotton, but a thicker, slubbier, softer cotton than most sarees --- those of you familiar with Indian cotton sarees will know why this is astounding when I say it is delightful in summer, needs no starch, has no transparency issues, wicks away humidity and sweat like a hi-tech garment, and is a dense enough to wrap yourself in for a mild winter. And the tasselled, heavier-weight end-piece is so easy to leave on your shoulder with no shifting and sliding no matter how active you get while wearing it.</p> <p>Now if it only had flattering powers, it would have been perfect. Still, it's a workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551523 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:20:17 +0000 goldenpig 551523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome that you feel so fab! What a score! Definitely try it with some black skinny jeans! I really like the oversized over skinny look on you!</p> <p>I was just thinking about what you said about feeling fabber than you look as I was posting my pics of the ski jacket that I just bought:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-221-24-skiing-in-tahoe" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....g-in-tahoe</a><br /> It does look a little puffy and shapeless and I'm sure it's not going to pass YLF muster but I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551483 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:32:24 +0000 Deborah 551483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I would have bought this too. I would wear it with a really slim pant or skinny jeans. Or what about a knee length pencil skirt and boots! BTW, love the lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551473 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:11:11 +0000 catgirl 551473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, found this link:</p> <p><a href="http://blog.prive.com/2011/12/07/the-boyfriend-coat/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.prive.com/2011/12/.....iend-coat/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551468 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 06:01:10 +0000 catgirl 551468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Rachylou, I would love to see your inspiration photo!</p> <p>Zap, you're way too sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551467 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 05:54:43 +0000 rachylou 551467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saved an oversized coat in my "scrap pic" file So I think you are a la mode. I like the back detail of your find!</p> <p>I'd wear your coat with skinny pants or a long skinny skirt. And a big scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551448 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:48:45 +0000 Anonymous 551448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did I ever tell you that you are amazing?<br /> I can't wait to see what you will come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551440 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:31:53 +0000 catgirl 551440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, you are all so sweet to humor me and make suggestions! I love all of the ideas and can't wait to try them. I meant to experiment today but spent the day glued to the Oscars... Love that I am not alone (DENISE and IK!) in my love of oversized items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551410 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:28:17 +0000 rae 551410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I die for a fishtail hem! I can't wait to see this with skinnies!</p> <p>The shoulders don't seem too overwhelming, so I think the trick here is going to be the fact that it is on the longer side as well as voluminous in width. I'm thinking your platform 80%20 booties or anything else that gives you lots of extra height would be AWESOME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551369 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:09:47 +0000 Sveta 551369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you feel fab in something it cannot be wrong! It is a fun coat, Una. My first thought was to pair it with skinnies but then it has a certain charm with wider pants too.<br /> Wear it with panache, Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551361 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 02:02:20 +0000 Jonesy 551361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coat, Una!

I really like how the back looks! I'm guessing it even looks more fab in motion and if it makes you feel amazing when you wear it, it's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551343 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:35:53 +0000 modgrl 551343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about with skinnies to reign in the volume a little? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551342 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:35:46 +0000 CocoLion 551342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you IK! You just made my wall flower sweater feel like it's been asked to dance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551340 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:33:32 +0000 Jaime 551340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is totally irresistible. I love the swing shape and the detail on the back. I have no problem with big and shapeless, but since it is a bit wide on you, I would like to see it with narrower slacks (ha! is that a word anymore?). Narrower than your pj's I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551333 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:23:22 +0000 Isabel 551333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you mean the Garance Doré look ? This is one of her "looks".</p> <p>Shorts and green coat<br /> Coat<br /> Shirt ( not Garance, the Sartorialist ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551317 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:04:53 +0000 christieanne 551317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just may one of those ironic, obviously it's too big type pieces that Angie blogged about last week (last 2 wks?) which would make it even more uber cool.<br /> Has that old Hollywood vibe and i could see it paired with a sleek and slim cut leg and top, a hat and sunglasses. </p> <p>I have an orange velvet vintage coat that I bought for same reason - don't wear it much but it lives on a dress from in bedroom to remind me to have fun every day :)<br /> Next in line is a huge soft cashmere sweater for layering. I think I stole from husband. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551303 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:49:46 +0000 ironkurtin 551303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoLion, I LOVE that sweater on you. Snuggly, perfect cocoony sweaters are A+ in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551301 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:48:41 +0000 CocoLion 551301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat on you, it's very Una.</p> <p>Right now I am wearing a sweater that fits the feels-so-good-even-if-its-wrong category. It got bad reviews on Nordstrom.com, but I had to defend my sloppy sweater and raved about it with 5 stars.</p> <p>This is the best my sweater can look, matched to the jeans. I have the same sweater in grey and it is even more sylistically challenged.</p> <p>My cat really loves these sweaters too! Whenever it lies on my bed, she makes a nest in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551298 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:43:05 +0000 taylor 551298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Part of why we love things is HOW they make us feel...I am all for feeling FAB!!!<br /> You did good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551222 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 22:46:18 +0000 Meredith1953 551222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the coat is really interesting. Love the color and the swingy quality. If you team it with a more form fitting top and pants I think it will look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551205 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:42:38 +0000 Jilly 551205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a really fun coat! It might not hurt to have the arms taken in a little. Thrifted finds can be awesome. I still remember the Pendleton blanket coat I bought for my mom @ a garage sale. It was in amazing condition and she still wears it. I'll have to post a pic sometime when I figure out how my scanner works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551202 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 21:36:42 +0000 Vildy 551202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.

I would have totally worn this in college too (I wore coats from a thrift store in NYC that a homeless person would not have -not meant to offend, but they were kind of awful)<br /> With skinnies and styled intentionally it won't be sooo bad. But honestly you are a thin and beautiful woman - just don't live in it ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-feels-so-fab-i-dont-care-how-it-looks-purchase#post-551177 Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:55:37 +0000 catgirl 551177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, thanks for the validation! Though that feeling is often counterbalanced by the "I thought I was hot stuff but just discovered I look like a doofus" moment... I am going to put on some real clothes and style this baby! Skinnies and quilted booties? </p>
