Beautiful &amp; unusual color, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261669 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 06:39:58 +0000 MsMary 261669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you, Marley! LOL True story -- I had an accident at home and it made me think of you and your poor hurt ribs! </p> <p>I tripped over the laundry basket and dislocated a finger.

I filled the prescription for pain meds and that helped things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261586 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 04:04:57 +0000 Debora 261586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are keeping the purple. It looks wonderful on you! How's the hand doing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261580 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 03:54:52 +0000 Reneeb 261580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple coat fits great and makes your waist look so tiny. The red is pretty with your blond hair but it looks a little boxy. I think you are like me, we need petites. I am sorry about your finger hope it feels better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261484 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 23:05:34 +0000 MsMary 261484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the shoulders are a tad wide, but I can't go down a size because the bust just barely fits as it is. I'm glad to hear the sleeves don't look too long -- I was a little concerned about sleeve length but I guess longer is okay for outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261475 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 22:33:28 +0000 Marigold 261475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote purple! Even though it's longer, it seems more streamlined, and the sleeves are perfect length. You'd have no problem accessorizing it with your beautiful handbags, without 'stealing the show'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261468 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 22:20:57 +0000 Steph 261468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I agree with the people who prefer the purple coat. I'm like Zapotee, though, and am wondering if going down one size would be better? It looks like it fits and gives you a really nice shape, but based on the shoulders, I wasn't sure if you could take it a size smaller. Either way, I think it's a great coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261410 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:46:27 +0000 MsMary 261410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I think purple it is! I was leaning to the red but you all have convinced me. Would love to keep both but I don't think that's too practical here in So Cal. Angie, you're so right that I have no business venturing outside of the petite dept!</p> <p>And Marley, the secret to the soft, natural hairdo is having spent the previous night in the ER and rolling out of bed the next day without doing Thing One to hair OR makeup! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261409 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:45:48 +0000 Jenava 261409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hum. I prefer Red on you, over Purple I also like the angled pockets on the red one. Can you keep both? It seems they are very different coats...</p> <p>Oh, and your hair looks perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261389 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:29:20 +0000 Inge 261389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the purple: colour, fit... everything is perfect!!</p> <p>P.S. I hope your hand is healing quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261387 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:27:54 +0000 Marley 261387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Forgot to add - I LOVE your hair in these pics! Soft, natural - BEAUTIFUL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261376 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:20:04 +0000 Jonesy 261376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple. The sleeves are slimmer, the waistline is nipped in nicely, and the shoulders look trimmer. Plus, I prefer the color, given what you wear and your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261371 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:09:32 +0000 Kate 261371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote purple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261366 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 20:07:09 +0000 Bookarella 261366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both on you! Sorry, if that doesn't help, but it is the truth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261300 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 17:57:20 +0000 medusa 261300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple looks like it fits better to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261279 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:47:48 +0000 Anonymous 261279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I was going to say go down a size on the purple one but Angie OK'd the size.... Keep the purple, it is really nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261277 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:45:17 +0000 Angie 261277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! Now we have coats which fit, Mary. You are a true petite :)</p> <p>I vote the purple. KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261274 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 16:43:10 +0000 rute 261274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh.. I prefer the first coat! Don't like the fit of the red coat. It seems big and the shoulders are a bit 80's.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261251 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 15:42:17 +0000 Queen Mum 261251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never met a red coat I didn't love...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261209 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 09:39:43 +0000 Louise 261209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fit of the purple one best x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261196 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:09:01 +0000 Marley 261196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, its no contest - the purple one is just gorgeous on you and I think it would better complement your colorful outfits, while the red one would "fight" with them. I also think that the purple one fits you better than the red one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261193 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 08:02:40 +0000 catgirl 261193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both a lot. Somehow I feel the red fits "you" better and your vivid style, but either one would be fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261190 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 07:37:53 +0000 Scarlet 261190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These both look great to my eye. I think the color is purely your own preference. Mine would be purple/blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261133 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:07:55 +0000 Misia 261133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple one better on you! Don't care how the red one looks from the back, your shoulders look kind of round shape in the pic #7.<br /> Your hair looks great here, kind of natural wind blown look, I like that on you better then when you have it too styled </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261132 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:07:09 +0000 Lisa 261132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also vote red, both are nice, but I feel like the purple is a tad to boxy on you. The red looks slimmer. And the color is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261130 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 05:03:30 +0000 Anonymous 261130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of the coats are a beautiful color. I'm drawn to the red one but cannot say why. Maybe it is a bit shorter than the other one, or maybe the scarf hanging down the front makes it seem more appealing.<br /> So after all of that, I prefer the red one.<br /> You look great in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-coats#post-261123 Sun, 05 Dec 2010 04:50:53 +0000 MsMary 261123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I followed Angie's advice and went to the petite dept for a coat and came home with two: A purple Anne Klein and a red London Fog with its own scarf. Thoughts? Is either one a keeper? They were the same price so that's not a factor.</p> <p>By the way, don't look at my hair. </p>
