They were out of that one last year when I bought my short version. I&nbsp;hope&nbsp;you enjoy it. It's a very stylish warm coat. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094441 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:34:14 +0000 Astrid 1094441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Caro! It's interesting that you think this looks like Euro chic. I have to say I've still not quite understood what this term is supposed to describe... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094304 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:35:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 1094304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise decision Astrid - a very euro chic look imo. Have fun with your scarves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094298 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:09:04 +0000 Astrid 1094298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Glory! That's true.</p> <p>Thanks Caro! I think you're right, I wouldn't be comfortable in the pink.</p> <p>Thanks Claire! You're right, a fit like that is hard to find.</p> <p>Thanks E! The color really isn't bad, just not the ideal one. And I'm always going to wear a scarf when it's cold enough for this coat in any case.</p> <p>Thanks Sveta!</p> <p>Thanks Una! I've decided to keep the grey. I'm comfortable wearing it and I NEED a coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094259 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 06:43:38 +0000 catgirl 1094259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Astrid! Any decision? I would like the grey to be more slate than it is. It's a perfect fit either way, and honestly I prefer the pink on you objectively despite preferring silver in general. But you are the one who will wear it... You really can't go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094194 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:31:03 +0000 Sveta 1094194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love the pink on you but if you feel more comfortable in grey then keep it. The fit is perfect and the grey is a nice color too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1094189 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:26:46 +0000 E 1094189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in late, but I vote for the grey, even though I know how frustrating it is when a shade is off. Judging from the pic in 6 though I don't think it'll give you too many&nbsp;problems; I think I'm a soft summer too, and the greys that give me the hardest time are the lighter, brighter, more yellow ones. I do love blue greys the best, so I understand your disappointment, but the cut of that&nbsp;coat is so flattering on you! You'd regret giving it up. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093703 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:12:54 +0000 Anonymous 1093703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good discussion going on here, Astrid. I think the grey is a wonderful choice. You won't feel as conspicuous as you would in the pink. Also, I think the grey coat will have more longevity (as in, you won't tire of the color quickly). Call it taupe if that makes you feel any better; I think it looks nice on you! I know how hard it is for you to find good coats that fit you. The fit on this really is stellar, which we all know is nigh impossible for anyone, petite or not,&nbsp;in a puffer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093694 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 22:04:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 1093694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the grey I don't see you being comfortable with the pink.<br />The fit is perfect Astrid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093688 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 21:58:01 +0000 Glory 1093688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pink as well but I think the grey is wonderful. You can add a scarf as you wish in any colour. Not saying that one must fit in, but when I lived in Germany I found women wore mostly neutrals as outerwear, similar to France.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093631 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:42:46 +0000 Astrid 1093631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ornella! And you're right, the grey is more of a no brainer. I can always get another one in a happy (and not so loud) color later on. I've finally realised that with our climate it's alright to have some options with outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093620 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:33:09 +0000 Ornella 1093620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I vote keep the grey one. It looks great (they both do) but you are more of a grey coat girl and it would give you no headaches when it comes to mixing it with your existing wardrobe.</p> <p>A good coat is hard to find and your winters are not mild. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093612 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 20:23:02 +0000 Astrid 1093612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Stacey!</p> <p>Thanks Scarlet! I do think I'm going to keep it, just got some endorsement via Skype too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093524 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:28:22 +0000 Scarlet 1093524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you feel good in the grey, I would keep it. You need a warm coat, young lady! The fit is wonderful. I get that the pink sticks out too much around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093488 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 19:07:02 +0000 Anonymous 1093488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one flattering puffer! I like the gray a lot. The pink is fun but overpowers your lovely hair and features.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093433 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:16:38 +0000 Astrid 1093433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joyce!</p> <p>Thanks Parsley! :)</p> <p>Thanks Unfrumped! I agree that with the pink you're seeing the color before you see me. I think I'll keep the grey if it looks good in natural light.</p> <p>Thanks Manidipa! I didn't really pay attention to my hair, but it does look nice with it. Also agree that the neon details are something special, I haven't seen any other coat with this feature.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093422 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 18:01:13 +0000 ManidipaM 1093422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am hard put to decide which is more flattering but I actually want to vote for grey because it seems the more unusual choice with the neon details. And it looks lovely as a complement to your hair, did you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093391 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:42:56 +0000 unfrumped 1093391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say, go gray and have fun with colors in your hats and scarves. It looks great. Though the pink is very do-able, it's the first thing&nbsp; you notice, whereas with the gray I notice your own attractive hair color and coloring. And you still can wear lots of bright colors in your clothing-sweaters and such.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093375 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:31:04 +0000 Parsley 1093375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, the gray puffer looks fabulous on you! It's a beautiful soft neutral color and the lining is fun for a discreet pop of color. </p> <p>I did love the pink on you, but I understand what you're saying about your environmental norms, and it sounds like a neutral color will work better for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093372 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:28:48 +0000 Joyce B 1093372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very nice but I prefer the pink coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093368 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:23:22 +0000 Astrid 1093368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Amy! I'm going to ask my friends in case they're online this evening what they think about it, but generally the grey one would fit much better into local (student) style. Colors are mostly dark and neutral and the style is mostly casual, relaxed and more minimal than maximal. Even with the not so bright colors I wear I'm often one of the more colorful people in a room. </p> <p>Thanks for the input, Jorja!</p> <p>Thanks Brenda! The argument that I'm still covering my basics is a good one. I also agree that I'm not one for loud colors usually, you just have to take a look at my Pinterest style board to see that's true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093361 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:13:24 +0000 qfbrenda 1093361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read all the other opinions but I really like the gray.&nbsp; The pink flatters you but is really LOUD and I don't think it fits your style very well.&nbsp; Especially since you are still trying to get the basics of your coat wardrobe covered, I would stick to neutral colors and add something bright and fun later if you can and want to do so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer/page/2#post-1093357 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:10:15 +0000 Jorja 1093357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is perfect and I love you in pink! Several years ago I bought a Landsend puffer jacket in pink in a similar style. I thought it was too bright a pink and was going to return it except DH loved the color on me. He usually never comments without being asked. Well, to make a long story short, I kept it and all I got was compliments and questions as to where I bought it. The color made me happy during our long gray winter. I was sad to see it go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093349 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:04:55 +0000 minimalist 1093349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you check with locals whose opinion you trust? Some things that work fine in one part of the world read differently elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093341 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 17:00:36 +0000 Astrid 1093341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jude! It's right that I'm not over the moon with the grey, but I think it will be versatile and like Gaylene said, I might find it more to my liking after wearing it a bit. I'm definitely more comfortable in the grey. I did place some of my things next to it and you're right, it seems to work well with my things. Not sure why the bag doesn't work, but it clashes to my eye. That's not a big problem though because I'm often taking my backpack anyway and the new tote that I will mostly use on the other days does work. </p> <p>Thanks Carambola! I never thought I could look so good in a puffer either. The cut is magical.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093330 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:56:27 +0000 carambola 1093330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is so perfect on you! What a flattering puffer. I think both colors look lovely on you and you should go with whichever you feel most comfortable in. The grey could be incredibly versatile and the pink could be a great pick-me-up in the dreary winter, but only if it does not make you feel too self conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093328 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:55:23 +0000 Jude 1093328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to talk you into keeping this coat, especially since you don't seem to be excited about the color,&nbsp;but I can assure you that you look good in it! A slightly warmed up grey should be&nbsp;great for soft&nbsp;summers, while a silvery grey could easily be too cool for them. I definitely prefer the grey&nbsp;one to the one in bright pink.&nbsp;It is a&nbsp;muted, but rather light color, and one&nbsp;that should work with most of your other colors (why not with cognac?). Think about it a little more. There's no need to rush anything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093327 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:55:06 +0000 Astrid 1093327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too funny! Although I think you're right, switching back and forth between the pictures. Might be the longer leg line wearing the black pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---grey-puffer#post-1093315 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 16:47:45 +0000 rachylou 1093315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The grey really looks smashing, positively smashing. </p> <p>I find the dark raspberry... gnome-making. You look shorter in it to me for some reason... and I wonder if a darker grey would have the same gnome effect. </p>
