I love, love, love the purple one on you, and I think this fills a similar wardrobe niche. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241875 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 16:46:04 +0000 Jenava 241875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise, I think it's a cute coat. I like the fur trimmed hood. I agree that the color isn't the best but if you wore a scarf that would help remedy the issue. The question is; can you get something you like better for the same price? If not, then I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241831 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 14:39:13 +0000 Louise 241831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zapotee the shine is like the website picture I photographed it at night so the flash really made the shine stand out. Roseandjoan I don't know why I did it up so high I never do coats up to the top.<br /> I've decided to keep it. I had to return it because the zip was faulty but I couldn't leave the shop whithout replacing it. Many thanks for everyones honest opinions and putting up wih my faffing (another Louise word, means being indecisive/ messing about, wasting time)!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241806 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:26:31 +0000 RoseandJoan 241806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the jacket Louise but would prefer it with the collar a little open and a thick woolly scarf poking through for contrast. It is styled similarly in your link and I think it would make a big difference to how your jacket looks on you.</p> <p>If it is -2 outside, please ignore all my advice and do up your coat to the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241804 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:24:26 +0000 Anonymous 241804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise - Is it as shiny as in the pictures? The website photos show a more subdued shine. I like the fit and length. The only thing turning me off is the shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241803 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:21:03 +0000 Scarlet 241803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go. Keep! I think this coat suits your daring style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241776 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:17:15 +0000 Louise 241776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear jeans a lot at the weekend and I have black skinnies I wear to work along with some wide leg trousers and trouser jeans x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241775 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:15:18 +0000 Scarlet 241775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this coat, Louise! I think it is completely different from the purple one, so I vote keep if that's not messing your budget. The only thing that worries me is you indicate you almost never wear trousers, but you do wear jeans to work, right? (i.e. will you get enough wear out of this coat?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241773 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 09:14:22 +0000 Louise 241773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear! Let me do a pros and cons</p> <p>Pros<br /> #1 I spend a large chunk of my working day outside with the children and you all know how I like variety<br /> #2 I don't have another coat this length<br /> #3 I don't have a pale coat<br /> #4 I like the pale shiny colour<br /> #5 Angie likes it</p> <p>Cons<br /> #1 It's £75<br /> #2 It's most suitable for trousers<br /> #3 The general YLF concensus is to return<br /> #4 I already have 4 autumn/ winter coats though 1 is 6 years old and another is a second hand calf length one saved for snowy playground duty.</p> <p>Thanks goodness M&amp;S have a generous return policy and I have till January to return it x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241751 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:58:49 +0000 AJ 241751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the lighting in your photo that is not showing the coat at its best because I do like it in the link you posted. However, I don't know if the color suits you. You seem like you really like it, Figure out the cost per wear and see if that helps you make your decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241748 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:47:52 +0000 Megan 241748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to pipe in and say that I love that you used et al. in your thread title- made me giggle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241502 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 23:16:19 +0000 Angie 241502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are forgetting that Louise has a fearless fashion persona :)</p> <p>I like them both Lou, - but do you need both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241399 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 21:38:16 +0000 Katiepea 241399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate to say it, but return. The purple puffer is an absolute stunner on you. This is nice, but why settle for nice? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241365 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:44:44 +0000 Lisa 241365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll hand you another tissue Louise. I vote return, I find shiny fabrics easily show off oily skin and the color is not as flattering near your face as the purple coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241350 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:29:20 +0000 Aida 241350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, I too vote return (due to shape, color, and shine). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241333 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:20:33 +0000 Ornella 241333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vote for return. The fact you're doubting your purchase at all is a sign it has nothing to do in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241282 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 19:17:58 +0000 catgirl 241282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but I agree it's not doing that much for you. Maybe if the waist had a wide belt or something? It looks kind of in between styles for some reason...</p> <p>*handing Louise a tissue* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241269 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 19:01:52 +0000 Louise 241269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sobbing* Does anyone like it! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241095 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:25:35 +0000 Sveta 241095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this coat can work with dresses as well as the purple one - it is not long enough to cover them and not short enough to be in a jacket category. Also I don't like that color on you very much - purple is much better. I vote return too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241088 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 16:08:46 +0000 Louise 241088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definately keeping the purple puffer (i love those words) so it's more 'do I keep this one too'? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241045 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:12:58 +0000 Kate 241045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-3#post-241038 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:54:55 +0000 Queen Mum 241038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the puffer much more than this one.

It's hits just under my bum does that make it only suitable for trousers or can it be worn with skirts and dresses too?
