I almost never go bare-legged and certainly would not when it was actually cool enough to wear a coat. It's just that it's still August here, but I really wanted to try on my trench.</p> <p>Angie - I really like how you explained that.</p> <p>This was my very first YLF-mediated purchase. You guys did a great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204883 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:52:38 +0000 Lisa 204883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trench is perfect on you. I like the second scarf best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204840 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:01:15 +0000 shana 204840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous trench! I am a non-belter so I have no idea on belting but I like the addition of a rich, saturated color scarf near your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204801 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:53:49 +0000 Angie 204801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the trench with the bright scarves and your gorgeous red hair. Wearing that colour in a flat texture is about creating a contrast and I do like what Julie suggested about making your legs darker with hose or pants. Like it best tied. </p> <p>Baby looks beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204726 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:57:59 +0000 rute 204726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!<br /> I would wear the belt just like you on photo1!<br /> The lenght is great!<br /> You look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204633 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:16:57 +0000 Vix 204633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length/fit is looking good from my end! </p> <p>I do prefer the more autumnal tones of the scarf in Picture #3. It looks like it ties the light color of the trench together with the richer tones of your hair -- and in general just flatters your complexion the most.</p> <p>I don't belt coats, but I did want to say that if you so desired, you have enough room on that sucker to just get the buckle chopped off and make it a "tie only" belt. [Or maybe the buckle slides off? /belt ignorant] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204630 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:07:12 +0000 tarzy 204630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always just tie the belt on a trench coat. I like the slightly more jaunty attitude it gives. Love the pop of color from the scarves! Enjoy your new coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204611 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:46:02 +0000 bj1111 204611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>square knots are particularly neat looking (as in polished, not as in leave-it-to-beaver-neat) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204601 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:17:00 +0000 biscuitsmom 204601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit and length and color and fit is wonderful! I think the belt will just take a little getting used to- what a great buy! Love the gray scarf with it...although it really doesnt need any embellishments....you'll be able to wear almost everything with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204584 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:54:11 +0000 Sveta 204584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It fits you really well. Length is perfect too to wear over skirts and dresses.<br /> For the belt - I just tie it in front.<br /> Green scarf looks good as well as reddish. I think the last purplish scarf is too muted. I would use deeper colored scarves for contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204555 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:02:14 +0000 Louise 204555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab trench. I love the colour and fit. re the belt I just double knot mine one knot as normal then the second backwards if that makes sense is it a reef knot? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204537 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:53:07 +0000 bj1111 204537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>prefer tying the belt in front. buckling looks too fussy.</p> <p>i've also tied the belt in the back if i plan to wear it open, to keep the belt from sliding off and to take up a bit of volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204534 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:50:54 +0000 Sparky 204534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful trench! Fits you perfectly; I also think the length is fine. I especially like the scarf in photo #3.</p> <p>I am also a bit flummoxed by belts on coats. I just bought my first proper trench last month so I'll need to practice belting it. . . and going back to study Angie's blog posts where she has pics of her belted trench to see how it's done. I'm hoping I can just loop the extra end over the belt a bit to the side and tie it loosely, so there's just a small part hanging down. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204532 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:50:17 +0000 bj1111 204532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love love love the trench.</p> <p>ps: if those are the shoes you were to your interview, i'd hire you on the spot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204530 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:43:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 204530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I will be 100% in love with the trench if you are wearing darker hose or trousers so have a greater contrast between the jacket and your skin. I love the colour against your red hair. You are beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204521 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:00:15 +0000 Lana 204521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first and third scarf the best, I think. </p> <p>I'm no help as far as the fit goes, though to my untrained eye it looks very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204519 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:48:44 +0000 annagybe 204519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like trenchs tied. Grey scarf looks the best, with the green second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204517 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:44:43 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 204517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab trench! Looks like a great fit to me. Love the first 3 scarves with it. Not 100% sure about the colour, but will wait for others to chime in - you look great in it.</p> <p>Love the length on you - what great legs you have. Sorry I'm not much help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/babys-first-trench#post-204514 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:38:35 +0000 Scarlet 204514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least my first non-hand-me-down trench.</p> <p>Three questions are</p> <p>(1) Do I need to shorten the length? I think it’s perfect but I wouldn’t know.</p> <p>(2) I am confused by the belt. If I wear it as a belt there is nothing to do with the long tail. If I tie it, it tends to stick out at odd angles. What do you do with your trench belt?</p> <p>(3) I quite like the color in person. It is a pinky warm beige. I realize my skin looks a rather unattractive color in the photos, but I think that has more to do with the lighting, dreadful carpet, and use of spf 50 on my unhosed legs. I tried out a few different scarves to lighten things up. Which ones do you like, or are there other colors you think I should try?</p> <p>Album:<br /> <a href="http://s1035.photobucket.com/albums/a431/Scarlet_YLF/Trench/" rel="nofollow">http://s1035.photobucket.com/a.....LF/Trench/</a></p> <p>password: ylf2010trench </p>
