I can't get over how hard it was to find a well-fitting coat. The one I got is simple in style and I must have tried on at least 2 dozen that were very similar, but this was the only one that fit in the shoulders AND the waist. And, of course, it's RED! It was a little scary to buy it without being able to take a photo for YLF approval, but I feel confident about it and it got the thumbs-up from my husband, too. </p> <p>I think it'll be about 6 weeks before we get the camera back from the repair service... feels like forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-dream-coat-and-more#post-36683 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 13:40:08 +0000 Tanya 36683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your coat find BLB, it looks lovely.

Nothing like a nice winter coat (esp in Canada!) to make you feel like a million bucks. Hope you can get your camera fixed so we can see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-dream-coat-and-more#post-36647 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:08:55 +0000 Anonymous 36647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How great. It feels good to cross of some items on your list doesn't it. I like your new coat and the earrings sounds beautiful. I think it's great that you put so much effort into finding just the right items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-found-my-dream-coat-and-more#post-36644 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 02:55:20 +0000 BLB 36644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, after scouring almost every consignment, thrift, and retail store in my city, I finally found my dream coat. It's a nice cool cherry RED, knee length, and perfectly fitted, with a belt, a single row of buttons, and a simple collar. It's the coat on this page, in red:<br /> <a href="http://www.rw-co.com/collection/details.cfm?id=395" rel="nofollow">http://www.rw-co.com/collection/details.cfm?id=395</a></p> <p>I'm going to get a buckle for the belt at my local sewing store.</p> <p>I've wanted a red coat for at least 8 years and have never found the perfect one. I'm so happy! It cost more than I had budgeted, but some money that just came in from consignments made up the difference. Yay! Plus, the coat came with a free purple wool scarf.</p> <p>I also ended up going back for the black cropped wool jacket I mentioned in an earlier thread, which was at a consignment store. So now I have two fantastic winter outerwear pieces, one casual and one a bit more dressy.</p> <p>My camera is on the fritz, otherwise I'd post pictures.</p> <p>I was also given some money as a graduation gift, which I used to buy 2 pairs of much-longed-for princess-cut cubic zirconia 4mm stud earrings, one pair set in white gold and the other in yellow. I found them at Winners for a quarter of what they normally cost, so I was also able to get some leather gloves and a cute hat. I'm all set for winter now. </p>
