The first thing I noticed with #1 is the perfect fit of the coat on you. Spectacular - as you say it could have been made for you. Love it. Turtleneck is not worthy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587388 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 02:21:06 +0000 Karie 1587388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in that coat!

Instead of us being lemmings, let's just say that we like to share the fabness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587370 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 00:55:25 +0000 Aida 1587370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's a fun coat too! Looks a little too brown-toned for my taste perhaps? Hard to tell from the photo, and doesn't look like my store carries it. Did you see these lovelies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587365 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 00:45:27 +0000 CocoLion 1587365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks fabbers for all of the votes of confidence! &nbsp;Aida the coat was 50% off when I purchased it yesterday... if that helps to give you a nudge. &nbsp;They had another tailored coat with a check pattern, not as vibrant as the citron but the same slim cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587344 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 23:43:44 +0000 Aida 1587344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow the petite coat is smashing! I have been <i>really </i>feeling the urge to update my coat capsule to include something more fitted like this, since all of my coats are on the oversized end. Such a crisp outdoor look, and in such a happy happy color. Good call on the t-neck, there's a better one out there for you. Hope you have fun tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587317 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 22:26:59 +0000 Marilyn 1587317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The petite coat looks great on you!<br />I have a love hate relationship with turtlenecks.&nbsp; Love them on other people but not so much on me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587297 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 21:15:29 +0000 catgirl 1587297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know where I stand!&nbsp; You are really petite if you're in the PXS and it looks just made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587292 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:53:17 +0000 K. Period. 1587292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, so I found the Citron a little overwhelming as a color (even though appreciating it), but you have totally won Citron! This looks fantastic on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587288 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:32:16 +0000 Jules 1587288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - I have this weird comfort/warmth thing where I sometimes enjoy wearing a my winter scarf over the lower half of my face even when it's not entirely necessary. So now I want a sweater like that to hang around at home in! People make comments when I do in public (darn people!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587274 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:10:38 +0000 Suz 1587274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whooo HOO!!&nbsp;</p> <p>You look amazing, Denise. How can you look so good in citron and mustard? But you do!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree -- a ladylike fitted coat can really be a thing of beauty. Have a wonderful time tonight!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587271 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:55:14 +0000 Deborah 1587271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks so good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587268 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:44:48 +0000 Elizabeth P 1587268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A resounding WHOOT WHOOT from me!&nbsp; Amazing difference between the regular and petite, isn't there.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy it.&nbsp; I am looking forward to wearing mine.&nbsp; The weather just turned cold today, but I chose my J Crew navy one to best go with today's outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587261 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:33:32 +0000 Dee 1587261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citron is a surprisingly workhorse color! I never would have expected it to look great on so many people. But I love the XS petite on you. Can't tell about the sleeves but everything else about it looks fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587253 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:28:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1587253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Citron kool-aid becomes you! This coat is fantastic on you. Too bad the sweater wasn't a good cut for you. I can relate; being of the short-necked persuasion myself I have trouble with a lot of turtlenecks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587248 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:21:09 +0000 Sal 1587248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit of the coat!! It looks super.</p> <p>And yes good pass on the turtleneck. I also struggle with them- okay with a close fitting thin knit though- I also have a short neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587241 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:16:34 +0000 Laurinda 1587241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well drunk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587240 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:14:09 +0000 Anonymous 1587240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coat on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587234 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:47:44 +0000 Anonymous 1587234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is drop dead gorgeous on you. &nbsp;That turtleneck is somewhat overwhelming. &nbsp;I don't think a longer neck would make a difference. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587233 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:46:46 +0000 Sara L. 1587233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat looks lovely on you.&nbsp; Laughing at&nbsp;you comment about looking like an accident victim.&nbsp; I've never noticed the length of your neck, but that sweater doesn't look right on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587231 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:46:04 +0000 unfrumped 1587231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, how many lemmings will there be before this is over!</p> <p>I think you hit upon something, though. This coat seems to work best when it "works" as trim fit and not major man-coat. I think that's why Elizabeth P's looked right when she tried the Petite. Probably it's the cut of the coat, but &nbsp;also man-coat may work better in some neutrals (though Angie has hot pink man-coat !). Anyways, it seems that if you have to size up too much in this coat to fit everywhere, something is lost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/drinking-the-citron-kool-aid#post-1587230 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:39:31 +0000 CocoLion 1587230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't plan to buy another coat. &nbsp;I have two very nice coats that I still enjoy wearing, an ovoid slightly oversized red-brown coat from Sessun (workhorse from 2011!), and a Vince coat from 2013, that I wore recently in Seattle. &nbsp;BUT-- here I am in SF for the opera tonight yet I forgot to bring a coat! &nbsp;I have a sleeveless LBD I plan to wear and since it will rain plus get down to 46 F tonight, I really need a coat. &nbsp;Sure, I could wear a cardigan but I would freeze waiting for a taxi.</p> <p>So count me in on the BR Citron Coat craze. &nbsp;I found threads from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1028-br-citrus-coat---graphic-and-clean">LisaP</a> (the first I saw wearing this), <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-couple-of-outfits-and-kr-the-br-citron-coat">Una</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-citron-coat-take-2">Elizabeth</a> P, and &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-citron-coat">Dee</a>&nbsp;modeling this lovely piece. &nbsp;Am I missing anyone? &nbsp;Normally not inclined to lemming behavior, I am happily jumping off the cliff while drinking the citron cool-aid!</p> <p>Not a great picture. &nbsp;But, DBF loves it on me and having a fitted garment is so refreshing! &nbsp;My other two coats are oversized with plenty of room for chunky cardigans, not this one, but it is very warm. &nbsp;There was plenty of oversized merchandise in BR but I am happy to mix things up with slim fits right now.</p> <p>Picture 1 -- coat in Petite XS. &nbsp;Fits as if custom made for me. &nbsp;Sleeves might be a tad short but not too bad.</p> <p>Pic 2 -- In regular XS. &nbsp;Shoulders and sleeves too long! &nbsp;Went back to the Petite XS.</p> <p>Pic 3 -- Bonus shot of the honeycomb sweater, an Angie pic. &nbsp;Almost went home with me but I don't want to look like an accident victim. (Body modifier: &nbsp;short neck) </p>
