What an awesome colour on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050473 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 06:35:52 +0000 Marley 1050473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is gorgeous on you - and I am very envious that you can wear that color!&nbsp; The only thing that gave me pause when I looked at the pics, were the welted pockets - the flaps on them drew my eyes to them immediately - I felt like they distracted from the overall line of the coat.&nbsp; But, I like the coat anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050470 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 06:30:43 +0000 Deborah 1050470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is lovely and the colour is perfect for you. I prefer it zipped up, open it looses something. K my only question, and I see Angie raised it too, is how your hair sits with the collar. We have similar length hair and I can't stand the interference of a collar with my hair, but if it doesn't bother you...all good:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050469 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 06:27:31 +0000 CocoLion 1050469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! &nbsp;Please keep it! &nbsp;It is so fab with the white jeans.</p> <p>And you are making me want to buy this coat too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050462 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 06:22:29 +0000 Jeanie 1050462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This color is dreamy on you...no wonder you were swayed into trying it! &nbsp;I also love that color. &nbsp;My eye can't quite adjust to the pockets sitting straight across in the front but it is pretty and cozy looking. &nbsp;You do NEED a camel coat whether you keep this one or not :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050407 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 03:43:02 +0000 Caro in Oz 1050407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah see what you mean about the collar - it looks much better up.&nbsp;<br />I think the coat&nbsp;looks great on you but not so much&nbsp;a cocoon coat &nbsp;imo - like Nicole D maybe I've been looking at too many way over-sized&nbsp;Celine coats <br />too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050404 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 03:33:42 +0000 K.

It looks fantastic in pic #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050252 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 01:11:42 +0000 catgirl 1050252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why you have Angie!&nbsp; This coat triggers so many of my own crazy poison eyes - the color, the collar, the hidden placket.&nbsp; You need to vote me off YLF Island.&nbsp; </p> <p>You still look like Claire Danes -&nbsp; just started watching Homeland again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050242 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:58:30 +0000 K. Period. 1050242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you surprised me! I thought this was going to be a hands down "no." &nbsp;No, not flattering. No, not the right size. Maybe even, no, not your style. And that's why I ask and learn. &nbsp;Because my fashion vision is far from 20/20.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hair inside the collar doesn't bug me in the slightest. Thanks for mentioning it, though. &nbsp;I honestly never noticed it. &nbsp;See, weird. Normal things that bother normal people? I'm oblivious. Mixing warm and cool colors? Real step out of the comfort zone.&nbsp;</p> <p>Parsley, good point on the pockets. I had a moment of "grrrr!" about the pockets, but I'd wear gloves anyhow, so I don't think it will really bother me that much. &nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Adding more pics for everyone to look at now with collars in various positions....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050228 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:41:11 +0000 Nicole D 1050228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colour is lovely! &nbsp;That's funny that Sharon mentions it looks a bit big, because I wanted to see it bigger on you, like Glory. &nbsp;Maybe I am just looking at too many fashion mags with waify models swimming in huge pastel Celine coats. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050221 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:28:29 +0000 Glory 1050221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much fabness. I love this colour and and style. As for size this is perfect nut you could go up for more cacooning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050210 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:16:13 +0000 Parsley 1050210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the coat on you!<br />One question, though: Does the lack of pockets that you can easily put your hands in bother you? I looked at that coat and really liked it, but the pockets were deal breakers for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050204 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 00:06:44 +0000 Angie 1050204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally rock that coat. Are you fine with your hair sitting inside the collar? It's become a fashion-y look actually.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050189 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:33:34 +0000 K. Period. 1050189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! Caro, I don't think the collar sits down. It is too short to really lay flat, and the structure is quite stiff, to keep it up.&nbsp;</p> <p>The "longer" comments make a lot of sense to me. &nbsp;It does seem a little short. Almost like it wants to skirt between a true cocoon coat and a typical car coat. &nbsp;Interesting. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050167 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:23:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1050167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does the collar sit down too? If it does can we see a pic? I think I'd like it if it were&nbsp;longer too but reserving judgement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050161 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:15:28 +0000 unfrumped 1050161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on finding that perfect version of a color.<br />I'm thinking that type of coat looks better longer.<br />It's&nbsp; hard to figure out what iteration of a "new" style works best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050151 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:05:11 +0000 Sharon 1050151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about the fit on this coat. It looks a bit large for you to my eye. I think maybe AG is right when she says it needs to fall more definitely into either the fitted or cocoon camps. And I think if cocoon is the look you are chasing, it would be better if the coat was at least a couple of inches&nbsp;longer.</p> <p>Do you really love it? If you do, then wear it, but I think you can do better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050149 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:03:08 +0000 Suz 1050149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hitchcock Glamour Goggles. You are too funny! :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like how it looks on you. It does not overwhelm at all, to my eye. I like the shape a lot and feel tempted now to run out and get one for myself. I don't have a poison eye for those collars, but I do wonder whether they are workable. Can you do it up? How does it look or feel without the scarf?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050142 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:55:58 +0000 K. Period. 1050142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No! Never slink! That's why I asked. &nbsp;I kinda feel like they were pushing me to get a smaller size and I feel like the bigger size, while less flattering, was more cocoon like. &nbsp;But I'm also still not convinced that my Hitchcock Glamour Goggles aren't blinding me to its entire unsuitability.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050131 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:46:26 +0000 catgirl 1050131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I have a serious poison eye for that particular collar.&nbsp; I adore Hitchcock blondes (which I will never be! Ah, Grace), and I know the look you're after.&nbsp; I'm just not sure on that neckline for us.&nbsp; Also I would prefer this to be either more fitted or more cocoon-ish.</p> <p>Angie will&nbsp;probably chime in and tell me I'm completely wrong, so I'm reserving the right to slink off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-cocoon-coat#post-1050129 Fri, 11 Oct 2013 21:41:01 +0000 K. Period. 1050129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay. I admit it.&nbsp;I was in JCrew today and saw the camel cocoon coat.&nbsp;I&nbsp; bought it on impulse. And I'm a complete sucker when my sales assistant/in-store stylist plus other shoppers egg me on. And they did.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It was such a nice color of camel. The nice, cool, oatmealy camel that I can often wear. The not-so-common camel that I can wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>And it has that romantic, retro Hitchcock Blonde Style cut that I adore. &nbsp;(Yes, I envisioned myself as&nbsp;both Tippy and Grace in this.) Where are my oxblood leather gloves?&nbsp;</p> <p>And just this morning I was lamenting that I didn't have a brownish coat.&nbsp;</p> <p>And it was 25% off on promo.&nbsp;</p> <p>And they said it was flying out of stock.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm a complete sucker. &nbsp;</p> <p>But no so much of a sucker that I didn't take pictures and tell them that I was taking it home for a trial, but probably bringing it back. &nbsp;</p> <p>Does this work on me at all? &nbsp;I've got big shoulders. I've got a full bust. I have a short neck. &nbsp;This isn't the ideal coat for me, is it?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA:&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 4, Collar all the way up. This is a little close, so probably not how I'd wear it. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 5, Collar slightly open. Much more likely.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 6, collar all the way open with no scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 7, collar folded over. (I don't think this works, but included it for Caro!)&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 8, entirely unzipped. Not very me. I'm a zipped up girl.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p>
