I'm new here. Couldn't resist chipping in that I think you look FABULOUS in this coat. </p> <p>I saw someone comment somewhere along this thread, though, that it was a bit bolder than is typically your style? </p> <p>My two cents: <br />If you LOVE it and are sure you'd wear it often and rock it with confidence, buy it because it truly does suit you. </p> <p>However, if you're not sure how often you'd wear it or with how much confidence, then perhaps take a pass? Even if the price is right, more unworn clothing is STILL more unworn clothing needing long-term tending and storing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1973756 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 02:51:07 +0000 krishnidoux 1973756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenny</b> good points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1973748 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 02:43:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 1973748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I did really like it on you. But something I am realising... We can love things, they can make us smile as this did for you, but it doesn't mean, even when they look good, that we will wear them. This has been a hard lesson for me but I think I'm getting it, yay! They must also have supporting acts AND be practical to wear AND not fussy. My 2018 purchases are much better in these ways and 4 of them have over 30 wears already in the one year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1973740 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 02:22:38 +0000 krishnidoux 1973740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I don't think it's too bad. My voice will be dissident, AND I came in super late on this conversation, I realize I'm like a hair on a soup.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course, Suz, so many things look so good on you, and so did this jacket. You can totally pull off the oversize thing.&nbsp;</p> <p>But this is my impression: the print was on the overpowering side. It was on the busy side as well. Then the coat was on the big side too. I thougtht it was overwhelming and stealing the show away from your beautiful hair. I am curious to see what you got instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1973734 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 02:08:16 +0000 Suz 1973734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry. I missed out on it in my size. All sold out. I liked it but not enough for the price. Thanks for helping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1973718 Mon, 12 Nov 2018 00:36:39 +0000 Karie 1973718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun!

You may be able to tell better from seeing it from different angles and in motion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper/page/2#post-1972979 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 11:28:44 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1972979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So what’s the end of the story?

I'm going to give it another try tomorrow or the next day. As I said, the price is right so it's not that big a risk.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the 90s, I had a short "teddy" coat in a brown and taupe plaid. This was when I drove to work and didn't spend as much time outdoors. I loved the coat and wore it constantly. Its light weight made me happy as did the "cuddle" factor.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I was thinking it could (maybe) work over some midis...but only solid colours or certain patterns. Not sure it would work with the busy patterns of my two autumn midis. But we'll see.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been giving lots of thought to that toppers for midis question and collecting Finds for inspiration. (Alas, they have to be Custom Finds because for some reason the Finds Feature is working very irregularly for me even from sites that used to be no problem like Massimo Dutti and Gap.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway...I've come to the conclusion that I definitely need more coats/ toppers because I love wearing skirts/ dresses, especially midis, and in this climate I can do it more easily. So I need a few options, and right now, have zero. Shopping time! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962917 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 21:28:32 +0000 Angie 1962917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, it looks like it's <i>supposed</i> to be oversized. VERY handy to layer over blazers and chunky knits. Could work over midis too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE the drama for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962916 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 21:26:01 +0000 Bennett 1962916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I spotted you wearing this I would think "that is the coolest woman in this place!" I would probably stalk you for a bit as well! I see no problem with size, probably due to the generous lapels. You really shine in this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962817 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 17:42:05 +0000 Suz 1962817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for thoughts and advice! <b>Angie</b>, I think it is both a tad large (can see in the shoulder fit) <b>AND</b> meant to be oversized. The cut is swingy through the torso, purposely so. A very slight A-line vs. a cocoon shape, you know? I think that makes it a bit easier to wear it on the large side as if it is intentional. </p> <p>I was wearing a very thin merino ribbed sweater when trying on. Maybe I will go try it again with a thicker sweater underneath and/or even a layer. Unfortunately, this is the smallest size they make it in, so it's this or nothing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Happiness factor on try-on was high because it's a wild card for me -- as <b>Joy</b> and <b>Sisi</b> pointed out, it's more of a statement than typical for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was surprisingly warm on try on! It's just polyester. As <b>Staysfit </b>mentioned, coats like this are pretty much a waste except for those who drive all the time or run warm in my former climate. Not warm enough for anyone who spends time outdoors in Ontario winters. But it could work from late October through March here. I don't know how it would fare in the rain.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Chris,</b> I thought exactly the same thing about my cat!! &nbsp;A funny thing, also -- my kid used to have a large size snow leopard stuffy, a gift from friends. After she grew out of it, Mr. Suz started using it as a "neck pillow" because it was curved just so and he would stick it behind his head when reading in bed. We left it back in Ontario and he misses it. Maybe this can be his replacement? ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962762 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 14:48:42 +0000 Sisi 1962762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy, it is&nbsp;different from&nbsp;what we usually see on you. How is the&nbsp;happiness factor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962753 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 14:38:41 +0000 Angie 1962753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER pattern. LOVE the coat for you. Perfect with your hair. </p> <p>Do you need a size down, or is it supposed to be oversized? Hard to tell with plush coats sometimes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962747 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 14:30:35 +0000 Cardiff girl 1962747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it,it goes with your colouring.How you managed to resist buying it is beyond me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962733 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:59:13 +0000 Staysfit 1962733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! Is it versatile in your new climate? I toyed around with getting a faux fur jacket and so far have passed because I feel like the window for wearing it is too short. I think it would be too light for winter. I put wool jackets and coats into that transition category as well (unless they also have thinsulate), and if you have those, which I believe you do, will this compete with them for wear? Didn’t you get a beautiful J Crew cocoon coat last year? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962728 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:48:49 +0000 Sara L. 1962728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and think it would be a lot of fun to wear.&nbsp; I want a short boxy leopard print one but haven't found one yet (I also haven't really looked since the temps have still been in the 80's until last weekend). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962725 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:46:28 +0000 Anonymous 1962725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very striking with your hair and the black bottoms....does look a tad big though ? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962724 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:43:14 +0000 Janet 1962724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I think the fit looks good for outerwear.</p> <p>I spotted one that I really liked in the window at Elie Tahari in NYC, but I’m sure that’s not as budget-friendly of an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962723 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:42:30 +0000 Kathie 1962723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors on you, but agree with Joy that it’s different from your other looks, which seem more tailored. How does it move on you? Boxy, or more fluid/swingy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962713 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:13:12 +0000 Christina F. 1962713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, it’s fabulous on you.

It’s adorbale on you!<br /> 2. This is the season for animal print - might not be so easy to find this snow leopard another season.<br /> 3. You are living in a climate where this would probably work much of the season - milk it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cool-toned-leopard-topper#post-1962689 Mon, 08 Oct 2018 10:43:39 +0000 gryffin 1962689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning!!
