I voted yay! The colour isn't bad - and it's very much enhanced with a scarf. Win-win in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat/page/2#post-758265 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:45:10 +0000 Ingunn 758265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap and Angie, you are wise, experienced and always make convincing decisions about style and color. Thank you for being honest. However, the coat will stay with me, because although I can see what you mean, I find the color flattering enough for my purpose with the coat. Besides, I will always be wearing it with a scarf - which I naturally will choose in colors that suit me. I like the idea of a different colored, coat, too, and might very well be on the lookout for something a bit more casual in a strong color, maybe purple or blue. This one, however, will become my basic dressy coat for the next cold seasons. </p> <p>My family members are very enthusiastic about the coat, all four of them, and they are going to see it pretty often, so that counts:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat/page/2#post-758211 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:34:55 +0000 Angie 758211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the extra photos, Ingunn!</p> <p>I still have the same impression - killer fit and style, but the colour is not ideal. As soon as you add the scarf - a flattering colour against your complexion - the coat colour looks so much better to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat/page/2#post-758207 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:32:36 +0000 Anonymous 758207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit is really nice. However, I am a bit unsure on the color against your hair and skin tone. It is almost too monochromatic. I would love to put you on a blue or magenta wool coat. I think it is a really nice coat overall, however, it is not a 10 for me. I think I am in the minority, however. So take it with a huge grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat/page/2#post-758115 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:00:47 +0000 Ingunn 758115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ceit and Suz! </p> <p>Ramya, fingerless mittens are only good as long as the temperatures are above freezing point. I have ordinary mittens and gloves, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-758054 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:18:11 +0000 Suz 758054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am jealous you can wear this colour.

The coat does look more attractive than my description I must say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757979 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 04:47:40 +0000 Ingunn 757979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This makes me curious about what color you actually see in these photos? Could you describe it to me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757878 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:35:06 +0000 Suz 757878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cut of it and fit on you, ingunn! Awaiting more colour pics! It is SO frustratingly difficult to get good colour representation in stores with their lighting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757821 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:29:40 +0000 Aida 757821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cut looks great, I would be curious to see it in different light as I'm not totally sold on the color. I think the length is good as-is, but then I quite like midi-lengthed coats specifically because they're a little extra warm when it's cold out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757773 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:19:54 +0000 kellygirl 757773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

So important to be able to layer beneath it!</p> <p>Look forward to the updated color pic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757718 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 22:17:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 757718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour was my only concern too, otherwise it looks perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757498 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:39:19 +0000 Ingunn 757498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, now I fear that color a bit, too, Una! I realized that it has a green cast in these photos. The true color is a lot warmer, more like English toffee. A photo shoot at home tomorrow will reveal it's true nature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757386 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:11:37 +0000 rachylou 757386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic and put together! And it looks so beautiful even tho you can layer under it! A good coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757300 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 16:24:41 +0000 catgirl 757300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So lovely. I live in fear of this color but I'm sure you can tell if it looks good on you. Love it with the scarf - so elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757239 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:18:17 +0000 Carole 757239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color, check!<br /> Fit, check!<br /> Classic, check!<br /> Comfort, check!<br /> Beautiful, check!</p> <p>So glad you got the coat, it's gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757189 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:32:18 +0000 Ingunn 757189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will post better photos tomorrow, Angie! The color is caramel/camel/light brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757186 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:31:03 +0000 Angie 757186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Size and fit are great.</p> <p>Not too sure about the colour. See it in natural light? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757184 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:29:10 +0000 Ingunn 757184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for supporting my decision! I've bought it now and will try it with various boots and scarves, but I think this is the one for me. It is very comfortable, and all my three girls said yay, too - that means that I don't look *too* grown up in the coat for their taste, hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757144 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:53:49 +0000 lyn67 757144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit, and very versatile-an all time favourite, classic cut. I love the longer length, too(will cover upcomming midi hems, too:-).<br /> I vote yeay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757139 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:50:56 +0000 Ariel 757139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a fantastic coat with a great cut, that fits you, is 90% wool and I a color that works with your wardrobe. Unless you don't like the cut because of preference reasons, I'd say you have a great thing there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757132 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:44:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 757132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit and classic colour and style Ingunn. This will last you many years without looking dated and every year, you can infuse new life into it with a scarf in the trending colour of that year. I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757085 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:49:06 +0000 Anonymous 757085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I can tell, the coat fits you well. It's a classic style and looks great. I have one like it, except mine's a black and ivory tweed. I wear it a lot, and don't know what I'd do without it. If you have to wear a coat to keep warm, why not look stylish, right? If you love it, please take it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-my-new-coat#post-757074 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:33:34 +0000 MNsara 757074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a sleek, classic, flattering style that I would buy in a heartbeat! (and I actually have </p> <p>Your arms cover some of the torso part in the front views, but what I can see looks like the right size. About shortening, unless you get it done with purchase, you could also wait and wear -- see what layers underneath do to raise it, see how it pairs with your boot heights. </p>
