I am blushing over here and have a swelled head.You guys sure do know how to make a person feel good. Oliver says hi everyone. He loves the attention.  @Suz -- Oliver is waving back at your siamese.  This is certainly a good place to reboot my style.   I feel like I have just been remade. My one regret is that I let the weight come on and did not action it sooner.  That was lifestyle and my job, which I currently still have but I walk to work now and walk as much as I can when not working. But we need to look forward. Things happen the way they do for a reason.

Wow. You can be very proud indeed, and you look amazing now in your reds. You have a pretty smile. And a gorgeous kitty. I happen to have a chocolate point Siamese -- he is waving...his tail. :)  I say go for the teal coat now and do what Meredith says -- get the Icebreaker next season. I love the shape of that collar -- dramatic and cozy.  UmmLila (Lisa) on "Belted Wing Collar Coat" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wing-collar-coat#post-1421156 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 00:28:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1421156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations on your hard work, and beautiful kitty too. I like coats with wide collars (but unlike you my shoulders are too wide to carry them off) and I love teal, so that's my pick, too. jackiec on "Belted Wing Collar Coat" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wing-collar-coat#post-1421101 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 22:42:14 +0000 jackiec 1421101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations on your health! I love those wing collars as well. I agree that the teal would be gorgeous. I do, however, really like the Icebreaker coat as well. It reads a bit more casual to me, so perhaps it depends on your needs. Both are really nice looking. PS your kitty has stunning eyes! rachylou on "Belted Wing Collar Coat" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wing-collar-coat#post-1421092 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 22:34:53 +0000 rachylou 1421092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the black and teal for you in the wing coat, but I kinda think you should go for the coat you've always wanted. Personally, I tend to love the idea of a wing collar way more than I enjoy wearing 'em, and I'm too old to suffer for fashion now, lol. I note that you and Oliver are beautiful people. I mean, as in the beautiful category. Y'all have a kind of drama. Your good looks have a seriousness.

Another vote for the teal coat! Meredith on "Belted Wing Collar Coat" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wing-collar-coat#post-1420946 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 19:01:07 +0000 Meredith 1420946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ $50 is an amazing deal on a coat and I also love the teal. Why not buy the teal this season and the pricier icebreaker next season when hopefully you will have reached your goal weight? You might even still be able to wear the teal coat then depending on how much you need to cinch the waist. By the way, your kitty is absolutely stunning. My best friend has a rag doll. They are so regal!

You deserve   Rubygirl on "Belted Wing Collar Coat" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belted-wing-collar-coat#post-1420827 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 14:08:30 +0000 Rubygirl 1420827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have been thinking about buying myself a wing collar coat.  I know I can wear it as a funnel neck too. The coat is not in my local stores here so I would need to order it online.  Do any of you ladies own one? If so what are your thoughts on the coat style?. I would like to have it for the days I just want to dress up a bit.  In the reviews of the coat, some removed the belt and loops. Depending on how the coat fit I may want to do that as well. Having lost over 140 lbs in the past couple of years, I have about 30 more pounds to go. The weight loss was all done with healthy eating and walking. I also have a dropped foot which happened a couple of years ago. This was a Merry Christmas present. It happened the day before Christmas 2012.  I am mentioning this because footwear is a difficult thing for me to find as I have to accommodate either the strap I have or my brace. I do not have any recent pictures of myself . I did a couple of pictures of myself, a before and during my weight loss journey. The first one was at my heaviest weight taken in Nov of 2012. The other picture was taken on Valentines day 2014. I have lost another 50 lbs or so since that picture.  Picture 1 - coat in Black Picture 2 - coat in Amethyst ( wine colour) Picture 3 - coat in Teal Picture 4 - shows the length of the coat Picture 5 - me at my heaviest weight. That picture serves as a reminder of where I was. Each time I look at it, I feel ashamed and proud of myself now at the same time. A lot of mixed emotions on it. Picture 6 - me on Valentines day 2014 - taken just before work. Picture 7 - The coat I have always wanted to get. It is the icebreaker skyline. Love this coat. First seen one like it on Blue Bloods :) Picture 8 - Ibex Lexi coat.. Like this coat as well. Simple lines. Picture 9 - The cat Oliver and his fur :) Decsions Decisions.. If I decide to get the belted wing coat, I am leaning towards the Teal colour.  I have blue eyes and I know the jewel tones look good on me. Not all teals but most look good. I however do think I should be getting a black one as it will be slimming and one can add a scarf for colour and I love scarves. I do have a seal point mitted rag doll cat and the fur on the black coat may be a constant battle. I have a waist now which is not noticeable in the valentine's day picture of me. Should I hold out and wait to get either the Icebreaker or Ibex coat?  Both of those coats are Merino wool.  They will never go on sale as neither company do that. The winged collar coat I am lusting is a wool blend coat. I am thinking I want it as it is a fashion piece. I currently do not own a cloth coat.   Maybe I should resist the urge to buy and wait for one of the ones I want. Save my money. The wing collar coat is on sale for 50.00 which is why I think I am lusting.  I also just received a late Christmas cash present yesterday which is 50.00. Plus I seen someone a couple of days ago wearing one and I thought oh nice. Sorry for my rambles. All feedback and comments welcomed!
