I was also going to say do it.<br /> Hope to see pics of fabulous you in your fabulous coat soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-390471 Sat, 23 Jul 2011 18:35:26 +0000 MNsara 390471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five to short-armed systers, MaryK!! I LOVE 3/4 sleeves and this is only intended for fall and spring. </p> <p>modgrl - I would definitely notice too short sleeves during winter -- I even notice gaps between sleeves and gloves ;-)</p> <p>Thanks, all you enablers! I just was at Nordies yesterday and ordered my size - hope it fits in all the important places! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389741 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:54:16 +0000 MsMary 389741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, I ordered that coat after seeing it on Bei Jing! Can't wait to see if it works! (And I love a 3/4 sleeve coat because the long sleeves are ALWAYS ALWAYS way too long on me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389739 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:49:24 +0000 modgrl 389739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and also think it is age appropriate (I am on team age is just a number and if you can rock it you should wear it)</p> <p>But I really don't get 7/8 or 3/4 sleeves on coats. They just make no sense to me. Like short sleeve sweaters. If it is cold enough for a coat, I need the sleeves to come all the way down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389734 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:45:55 +0000 Queen Mum 389734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>buy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389731 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:42:18 +0000 nicoleb 389731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you feel like you rocked it then go for it! I would love to see it on you! I fell in love with it too. Now i want to add one to my wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389723 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 13:34:07 +0000 Lisa 389723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it, leopard always looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389600 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 05:07:06 +0000 Scarlet 389600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine this looking wonderful on you. I don't think there is an age issue here. I hope you give it a whirl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389595 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 04:05:29 +0000 MNsara 389595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the warning, annag!</p> <p>To help me figure out if I'd feel the same -- is your coat lined? How did it not feel appropriate - not going with the outfit you were wearing, leopard wasn't right for where you were going, or . . .?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389575 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 03:30:20 +0000 annagybe 389575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I be the naysayer? Last year I bought the cropped NAS leopard coat. I barely wear it. Mostly because it's not warm at all and when it's warm it's doesn't feel appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389571 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 03:21:58 +0000 MNsara 389571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - thank you for the encouragement!</p> <p>Kristine, Jenava, Devon7 - Thank you for the boost! I am probably going to order it and post pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389453 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 01:06:04 +0000 devon7 389453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this coat, too, and have been thinking about it since yesterday's Beijing outfit post. </p> <p>I am wondering about the sleeve length. It says that it's a 3/4 sleeve, but I am blessed (or cursed, depending upon how one views it) with "gorilla arms" and am wondering how the sleeves would hit me. The sleeves looked long on Beijing, but short on the model on the website. I guess I should go try it on, but I'm scared to set foot in Nordstrom because I've already spent SO much money on NAS and have almost completely blown my 2011 shopping budget. I need to be on SYC for the most part, but I've wanted a leopard print coat for probably 5 years now! I didn't see this coat when I pre-shopped NAS at my local store, so I'm wondering if they would even have it in stock now. Maybe I should just order a Medium (Angie said that Beijing wears size 4 and took a Small, so I should be Medium at size 6-8) and take my chances...</p> <p>By the way, I am about to turn 45 and I'm not the least bit worried that this coat would not be age-appropriate MNSara, I think you should give it a whirl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389441 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:46:01 +0000 Jenava 389441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. You can totally rock it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389439 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:44:00 +0000 Kristine 389439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you'd look like a sweet old church lady at all. In fact, I think leopard looks best with a little sophistication, so it'd be great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389438 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:41:35 +0000 Angie 389438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH!

She likes to purrr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389433 Fri, 22 Jul 2011 00:37:55 +0000 sarah 389433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah - I returned some things on the way to work, and didn't see you there (well, "some" is an understatement)!</p> <p>I could *totally* see you rockin' this coat!!! No chance of looking like an elderly church lady... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-all-guess-leopard-coat-that-bei-jing-looked-so-fab-in#post-389385 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:45:24 +0000 MNsara 389385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made another pilgrimage to Nordies today, to actually try the Bebe jacket that Bei-Jing rocked. I did not rock that jacket :-(</p> <p>But I did 'seem to' rock the Guess leopard coat! It IS dramatic, but oh so perfect for our fall/spring weather. (I'm always attracted to leopard and have already accumulated a variety of leopard things -- belt, flats, heels, blouse, and our cat.)<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/guess-leopard-print-faux-fur-coat/3175576?cm_ven=display&#038;cm_cat=ann11_blog&#038;cm_pla=fed_med&#038;cm_ite=ylf_post1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/gu.....=ylf_post1</a></p> <p>I'm really worried that at my age/stage of life, instead of looking stylish, I'll look like the sweet old ladies in our church who pulled their 40-year-old leopard coats out of the closet last winter, thrilled that leopard is 'in' again :-\</p> <p>I couldn't take pics at Nordies, but appreciate any thoughts or insights on how 50-somethings can or can't look fab in this.</p> <p>Thanks so much!</p> <p>P.S. I could only try L, but it might've been my size if I wanted to fit a blazer under it, but I don't. So I'm figuring M would be okay . . . anyone tried on an M? </p>
