Also, the coat is very distinctive, so take into consideration whether you might get bored with it soon.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095235 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 03:00:19 +0000 MuseumGal 1095235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an amazing statement piece for sure ... but I wonder how warm it actually is?&nbsp; If you live in a place with real winter, I think I'd go for a basic everyday coat first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095229 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 02:53:41 +0000 DonnaF 1095229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are bracelet length.&nbsp; Are you okay with that?&nbsp; And assume you would not be taking (dirty) public transportation if you are considering a light colored coat like that.&nbsp; </p> <p>Congratulations on your weight loss.&nbsp; I'm not a coat person; in my climate I wear jackets or a lined trench.&nbsp; If I were to buy a coat, I most definitely would not buy black.&nbsp; Boring and depressing and not such a good color at my age.&nbsp; Maybe navy if it is a wonderful navy.&nbsp; But I think colors can be wonderful like Transcona Shannon's burgundy one.&nbsp; To me, burgundy can be a neutral.&nbsp; I must say my red trench was a bit much when I wore them with my bright red jeans, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095211 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 02:39:55 +0000 Gigi 1095211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a person who is easily chilled, I noticed that the coat is quite short, and not very form-fitted, which means that cold air will be able to make its way up under the bottom of the coat. Is that OK for you? Also, would you feel comfortable wearing a distinctive coat to most places you'll be going? Or will it make you feel out of place? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095200 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 02:23:54 +0000 Kristin L 1095200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your weight loss! I agree with peacechick - go with what your budget says. If you can afford the splurge, grab it and show off. If not, then maybe go with something a bit more classic. </p> <p>Or, if your budget is a little tighter, would you consider a jacket more like this?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.saturday.com/Slip-Neck-Coat/4CMU0358,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_4CMU0358_color=867&amp;dwvar_4CMU0358_size=L&amp;cgid=kss-clothing-jackets-coats">http://www.saturday.com/Slip-N.....kets-coats</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095195 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 02:14:12 +0000 peacechick 1095195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, 40 lbs is amazing. Congrats and you deserve a splurge on yourself? The coat is cute and a happy color. I guess my question is how does your pocketbook feel about it? If cost is not a factor and you plan to rock it all winter like a ray of light, then go for it. If cost is a factor, I would say go with something classic in a neutral color because you won't tire of it so fast. Branded clothing has very little consignment value. Bags, in contrast, hold value better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chilly-dilemma#post-1095190 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 02:06:35 +0000 twinstarry 1095190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooo! Now that it's getting cold, I can finally go coat shopping :)</p> <p>I recently lost about 40lbs., and I'm trying to decide on a new winter coat! I've been eyeing this one from Kate Spade:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.katespade.com/agnes-coat/716453426471,en_US,pd.html">http://www.katespade.com/agnes.....US,pd.html</a></p> <p>But.. should I try for something more classic or neutral? What does everyone think? </p>
