It's funny when they use those words -- sometimes they really fit, but sometimes not so much. I am still thinking about this red and may go back tomorrow to try it on just to get the possibility out of my head. It is really really beautiful, it has blue/pink undertones, and to me, it's a real lipstick red. Bright but very luscious. It's what I call a "juicy" color, not harsh like I would expect something called "neon" to be.<br />As for sizing, I am wearing a 4, and it both fits well (shoulders, arms) and is also roomy (by design). I think this is a TTS coat. If you are between, I might be inclined to go down, because of the style -- it does have some built-in extra room, so going up may just be too much. (Also, the arms fit me well, but I do have long arms.) Keep in mind that this coat is sized in numbers (O, 2, 4, 6, etc.), so you'll need to go more specifically than S-M-L. <br />If I do go tomorrow to try on the red, I will post a picture.<br />I hope this is helpful.<br />Vivian </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388515 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:14:39 +0000 Elizabeth P 1388515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this for you Viva.&nbsp; No soul was sucked in the making of this post.</p> <p>Can you answer a couple of questions?&nbsp; I'm also in the market for a coat like this, have drooled over this one many times, but am SO hesitant to order a coat without trying.&nbsp; history of fit issues I guess.&nbsp; I think return postage on an&nbsp; item this heavy would be nuts.</p> <p>Is the "neon electric flame" red?&nbsp; Or is it a wild and crazy (and neon) colour?&nbsp;&nbsp; I'd love a red coat, but it's so hard to tell what this one really looks like.&nbsp; My "neon orchid" sweater isn't neon at all, so I wonder.....Otherwise I play it safe and go navy, but I really was hoping for more of a statement.&nbsp; </p> <p>And how is the fit?&nbsp; I tend to go between a M and a L, and in coats I especially stuggle... M's are often too tight across the shoulders, but I swim in L's.&nbsp; This one seems roomier than most, so I'm thinking the M might be the way to go if I were to give it a try.&nbsp; </p> <p>TIA! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388507 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:07:38 +0000 texstyle 1388507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep this one - it is fantastic on you in color and style!&nbsp; You look like a movie star, seriously, it's truly great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388392 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 09:39:42 +0000 Inge 1388392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Viv, this is a winner for sure!! Stunning coat, and absolutely gorgeous on you (I saw the coat irl while shopping with Angie, and agree that the colour is exquisite). This is a keeper for sure, and I'm holding thumbs that a fab ink blue coat will cross your path later this season too. Here's to Winter coat capsules! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388380 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 08:20:25 +0000 CocoLion 1388380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE IT!!!! I want one too. &nbsp;I tried one on, in navy, during a prior year and have kicked myself ever since for not buying it.</p> <p>You are so lucky to get the 25% off. &nbsp;I keep checking the site but that coat is never included. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388362 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 06:39:23 +0000 ElleH 1388362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it &amp; as much as I love navy &amp; ink wool coats I fear they will attract lint like black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388345 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 04:54:06 +0000 abc 1388345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388298 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 03:06:37 +0000 Windchime 1388298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in this coat! So many people wear dark-colored winter coats, at least in my neck of the woods. Your coat would stand out as refreshing and elegant way in the midst of winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right/page/2#post-1388292 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 02:55:07 +0000 Beth Ann 1388292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape and feel of this coat.

You can add more intense color in the way of scarves and mittens. You've got me wanting to run to my local J.Crew and check it out right away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388246 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:49:47 +0000 jackiec 1388246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my.

Suz's post on casual statement pieces has got me thinking. I like this color but don't really love it. Just on the fence at the moment. Definitely love the coat though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388240 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 00:39:42 +0000 rachylou 1388240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No navy.

A light colored neutral coat is SO nice as an alternative to all the dark and drab ones out there. Enjoy!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388185 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:37:44 +0000 Angie 1388185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW Lisa, the coat is a&nbsp;<i>warm</i> heathered&nbsp;beige,&nbsp;which is why I discouraged Suz from getting it. (Suz looks better in cool taupes, not warm oatmeals). Hope that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388177 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:19:22 +0000 catgirl 1388177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! Not soul sucking at all. You look full of soul. :). Lucky long necked you! Now for a cashmere beanie...</p> <p>I am on the hunt for a bright wool winter coat - ideally cobalt or electric blue in a cocoon shape but with a neckline that works for a short neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388175 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:18:38 +0000 Anonymous 1388175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the style of the coat, no question about that. The fit is bang-on too. But there are two things bothering me:</p> <p>1. the hem and front placket stitching down near the bottom edge of the coat.&nbsp; Hopefully nothing a good steaming can resolve, but lighter colours always highlight construction issues on heavy wool. &nbsp;It shouldn't pucker like that on an expensive coat. &nbsp;</p> <p>2. sorry, but the colour. &nbsp;I wasn't going to say anything, and I know Angie has seen you in person and has seen the coat too, but I do agree with karymk. &nbsp;Hopefully it's just how it's translating on-screen. I have always found a cool beige such a difficult colour to wear, and that's how this reads on screen. But - I am sure Angie wouldn't steer you wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388164 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 22:04:05 +0000 Angie 1388164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K, the texture-rich oatmeal of this coat&nbsp;is not coming through on camera. I have seen it in person many times and it's stunning. I want one too.&nbsp;It's a MUCH better quality coat than the Zara. And warmer too. Viv lives in Maine. Enough said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Viv, you're allowed MANY coats, remember. You don't live in SoCal. Give yourself permission to build a killer coat capsule. It's stylish <b>AND </b>practical.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388152 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:47:49 +0000 kkards 1388152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab. And I like the color a lot, it has a rich, warm feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388140 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:31:08 +0000 marianna 1388140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388132 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:25:38 +0000 karymk 1388132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks so good on! But Viva after all I've seen of your style I don't like this color! Remember when you tried on the white zara coat earlier in the season? THAT I liked much better on you. &nbsp;What are you going to do? Does the Cocoon come in other colors that you would feel cute in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388100 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:54:11 +0000 Sharon 1388100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie is always right! The coat looks fab - I like the light neutral, it reads sophisticated rather than soul-sucking. I imagine it will be a very versatile colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388099 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:51:04 +0000 Lyn D. 1388099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this coat a lot!<br />Not sure about the colour as it is hard with pics. You might be the best judge of that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388097 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:48:33 +0000 viva 1388097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Angie, thank you. THANK YOU. Maybe now I can let go of this journey and find another coat in ink later in the season. It's been so exhausting. (So silly to complain about this, I know!!!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-angie-was-right#post-1388095 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 20:46:57 +0000 Angie 1388095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. You came full circle. That's hilarious.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a warm heathered oatmeal, which is GORGEOUS. Not soul sucking at all, Viva. It looks killer, and has lots of life in person.&nbsp;</p> <p>Get another coat style in navy or ink. Keep this one rich and light.&nbsp; </p>
