The shoulders are sitting where they should, the collar lays nicely, the sleeves are a good length and not too wide. Given that it's a colour you love, I think you should keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572851 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 03:17:09 +0000 JAileen 1572851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a pink person, but if you are, and the coat feels good, and you need a coat, and it's not a past mistake.. Just kidding! You should get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572815 Sat, 17 Oct 2015 00:35:35 +0000 Anonymous 1572815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar coat this color and love wearing it. You will probably use it more than you think you will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572799 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 22:52:08 +0000 Brooklyn 1572799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour on you. I vote yes if the fit feels right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572791 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 22:16:22 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1572791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others have said, that color is lovely on you. &nbsp;It almost looks like it is made for a taller person but it could just be the pic. &nbsp;it is hard to tell on outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572775 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 21:30:46 +0000 celia 1572775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I also have a trench coat almost in this color and I am always sorry that I cannot wear it in our fall because it is not lined, more of a warm spring/fall or rainy summer day kind of trench.<br /> That is why I jumped when I saw a wool coat in the same color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572773 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 21:27:38 +0000 viva 1572773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a wonderful color on you. I once had a similar color in a trench-like coat and wore it quite a lot. Now I have a more true pink peacoat that I wear like crazy in the dead of winter. I find these colors are wonderful in cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572765 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 21:19:13 +0000 celia 1572765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie.

I LOVE the colour on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572740 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 20:30:41 +0000 celia 1572740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking about the 'need ' aspect of this.<br /> I have a teal wool coat that I love and have for a couple of years and it's getting into the stage of wear for special occasions because I want it to last for some more years.<br /> I have a cheap navy wool coat that I wore a lot last year.<br /> This coat would fill the everyday fun wool coat.<br /> Also, regarding fit, I feel very comfortable in it but I am not very sure if it is supposed to fit like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572728 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 20:14:02 +0000 Suz 1572728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't tell about fit from this photo but I LOVE the colour on you and the style is classic. If it fits, it's a winner.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572720 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 20:01:04 +0000 Anonymous 1572720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty color on you, but the fit does concern me.&nbsp; It is hard to say for sure from one picture, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572716 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 19:53:34 +0000 unfrumped 1572716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd look at the q's regarding is it a 10 and do I love it if it duplicates things.<br />The color is&nbsp;fabulous, &nbsp;so that is a good reason to get another coat even if you have "enough" coats, sometimes, since colors come and go and coats last for years, that fits "buy your colors when you can". But you need to really love (or <u>like a lot</u>-needs to tick your coat-boxes for this type of coat--meaning, a polar vortex gear coat has different critera from a wool day coat). <br />The fit looks pretty good but you say dunno--if it's returnable, that might be a reason to take home and try with layers and such. It looks like shoulders are okay and sleeves are maybe a bit long if anything but not too, since layering and movement will hike them up.<br />I do button my coats when it's really chilly but I like them to look good unbuttoned. So you might look at that. The high collar suits you, but I can't see all of it and the upper part well, so again, collar styles are something that can&nbsp; look dated or funny and you need to like that.<br />It looks like the pockets are slanted side-entry, and I really require that in winter coats. Hate those patch pocket things.</p> <p>I think you may be trying to determine, is the color so good and so rare to come across, and the coat is good enough so that overall it is very happy, and good price point, and not really planning a search for "the best" raspberry coat after this one. That does fit PPP, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572713 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 19:51:35 +0000 celia 1572713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, the list really makes you think .<br /> I can take more pictures maybe tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572711 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 19:48:44 +0000 catgirl 1572711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it's exhausting to see the list in action!&nbsp; </p> <p>I am not sure on the fit.&nbsp; Would like to see more pictures if possible.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bright-pink-coat--opinions-neededyn#post-1572705 Fri, 16 Oct 2015 19:42:58 +0000 Jenn 1572705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.

(Am I desperate, sad, frustrated, inspired, or bored?) - Inspired,<br /> Do I have closet space for it? Yes because outerwear has its own closet.<br /> Is this a groundless impulse purchase? I have enough clothes but this would be an easy thing to trow on to take DD to school.<br /> Is it returnable in a reasonable time frame?Yes<br /> How much is postage?None<br /> Can I live without it? Of course<br /> Is it a duplicate of something I have? Multiple answers here, I don't want to incriminate myself.<br /> Is it a fantasy item?no<br /> Does it need ironing?no<br /> Does it fit my style moniker? I think this is a whole separate list of your own personal criteria - RATE/polished, classic, trendy, retro, blah blah- yes<br /> Is it a past mistake? No<br /> Is it current? I think so<br /> Or a fleeting trend? Not really<br /> Does it follow “one in, one out”? No<br /> Can it be styled three ways?Yes<br /> Can/would I make it? Nope<br /> Is it wearable for my climate?yes<br /> Is it wearable for my lifestyle?yes<br /> Does it need work-arounds?no<br /> Does it play well with others?yes<br /> Is it a perfect fit?I dunno<br /> If not, is it easy to make it perfect?<br /> Does it require additional purchases to make it work?no<br /> Does it make me feel more body confident?the color ,yes<br /> Is it a 10? I don't know<br /> Do I love it? Kind of<br /> Do I need it? I plead the 5th even though I am in Canada<br /> Will it stand up to pets?yes<br /> Does it add value? To what?<br /> Does it hinder my style?no<br /> Does it move my style forward?I don't know<br /> Does it fit PPP?
