Haven't written a list of what to pack yet or even posted questions on here or a capsule or anything. I've been too focused on the wedding outfit I need. Where do you live anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984874 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:52:49 +0000 Suz 984874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, this looks good to me from what I can tell, so if it feels wonderful and the quality is there, go for it. You definitely need a trench in your work wardrobe! Anyone who wears dresses and skirts as much as you do needs a coat in that style for sure. And while I love the fuchsia (well, you know I would, right?) I hear you on Fifty-One (grinds teeth) plus, in the long run, that coat might feel a bit short for wearing with dresses and skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984867 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:43:57 +0000 lyn* 984867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Elle, you're right on the money - I would love such a dressy trench, but the stupid company that Nordies uses to ship would skyrocket the price and give me the runaround (if I get my stuff at all). Oh well, thanks for thinking of me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984771 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 08:37:03 +0000 lyn67 984771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab trench! Then, the fuchsia, too:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984720 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:05:59 +0000 ElleH 984720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha ladies it isn't my fuschia one. Not my style or colour but when I saw it you know who I thought of? Natalie &amp; Lyn, for real. So I tried it on &amp; took pics &amp; was going to post as a PSA, then came home &amp; saw Natalie's post so I mentioned it there. I thought Lyn or anyone else interested would see it there so I never bothered with a separate post. Then I saw Lyn's post. Anyway, I'm not sure if I got it right with their style but thought that someone has to have that trench. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984718 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 06:55:46 +0000 tayleigh 984718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks gorgeous on you, and I love the way you've styled it in the first photo :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984388 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 23:40:40 +0000 unfrumped 984388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good from what I see. If you're not wearing a jacket in the photo then likely you do need that amount of roominess. Take it home and try it with various layers. Seems like it could be a real keeper. I actually prefer the neutral color as it can skew springy or fall/ winter and you can always add scarves and bags in colors, and it does seem like a very " good" beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984338 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:36:15 +0000 lyn* 984338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will do! Along with black boots. :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984336 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:35:03 +0000 goldenpig 984336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, Elle's fuchsia one is&nbsp;tempting but I think I'll stick with my red corset trench for now, since it matches my new purse. </p> <p>Lyn, a colorful trench should be the next item on your list :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984300 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 22:00:30 +0000 lyn* 984300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Elle - That jacket is HEARTSTOPPING. FiftyOne would EAT MY SOUL though. BAH. STOOOOOPID FIFTYONE IS KEEPING ME FROM NORDIES GOODIES. *cry*</p> <p>@ Thistle - I just worked a few extra shifts, so it's definitely in my budget. I also walked away from the Anthro sale most recently with a fistful of returns, so I actually am in a good situation right now.</p> <p>@ RachyLou - It's from Le Chateau Outlet I think it is a 2010 style.</p> <p>@ Cinnamon - Unfortunately, this is the last one left, so I can't size up or size down. I like my trenches a touch roomier so I can layer a blazer or a leather jacket - maybe I'll try that and get some pics!</p> <p>@ Shannon - I have a cobalt trench as well, and that one is more fitted - so i thought I would wear that one when I had less layers and this one when I have more layers! I'm glad you think the beige works!</p> <p>@ Claire - I'm sure it's the same reason why everything looks elegant and ladylike on youuuuu I really enjoy this vibe - it's very Polly Perkins.&nbsp;</p> <p>@ Natalie - I'm fluctuating quite a bit, actually - my 4 pencil skirts are falling off right now, and my measurements haven't really changed - it's kind of weird. I am wearing most of my size 2's right now, but they seem the same size as 4's. BAH. I don't know :p This jacket is a size small - my cobalt is a Zara 4. I am usually an Anthro 2 or 4.</p> <p>@ Rae - the pink one is soooooo fab!!!!! I'd never get run over by a car because it'd stop traffic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984273 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:30:27 +0000 rae 984273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, both of those are so fab! The tan one is totally timeless and classic, and the pink one is whimsical.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hey, Natalie, I wonder if they have any pink ones in your size?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984266 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:21:05 +0000 goldenpig 984266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you are smaller than me. I'm usually a 4-6 or even 8. That fuchsia one would be fab on you too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984225 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:40:40 +0000 Kristin L 984225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great from what I can see. And that's some great girl math! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984210 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:30:49 +0000 lyn* 984210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a 2. or a 4. Somedays. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984208 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:28:54 +0000 goldenpig 984208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Keep! It looks fab on you, and goes perfectly with your outfit. And a beige that doesn't look soul-sucking on an Asian! Score!!!<br />Elle's fuschia trench would be so&nbsp;fabulous on you too, but I thought we were similar size and it's too big a size for me...are you a size 2? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984169 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:58:12 +0000 Anonymous 984169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks really good, and I love the cut! Why does everything look so ladylike and elegant on you lyn? You really have a great frame for dresses and coats like this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984166 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:55:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 984166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A trench should definitely be in your wardrobe lyn. Definitely make sure you have room to layer your lovely blazers underneath. The shoulders seem a tiny bit wide to me - what do you think? To be honest though, for me personally, that's not a deal breaker. I think this particular shade of beige works on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984147 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:34:39 +0000 cinnamon fern 984147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of a trench for you but am unconvinced - the shoulders look like they don't fit to me. &nbsp;Did you try another size?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984143 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:32:30 +0000 harmonica 984143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984140 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:30:33 +0000 rachylou 984140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe how much I love this on you. It really works. Where'd you get it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984131 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:24:01 +0000 Thistle 984131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, gorgeous coat, Elle.&nbsp; Is that in your budget, Lyn? Would be so fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984121 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:12:32 +0000 ElleH 984121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Great score. Also I think this is your style too right? It is at Nordstrom Topanga for $251, down from $425. Ted Baker London, great quality, like a Burberry. Size 2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-a-trench-for-me-too#post-984119 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 19:07:58 +0000 lyn* 984119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oi! I was in love with all of you ladies' beautiful trenches so I set out for one myself, knowing Burberry was out of my budget. </p> <p>Took a risk on this one; it is beige, and usually that colour is terrible on me! I love this coat! It makes me feel very Dixon Hill with some Goldenpig mixed in!!</p> <p>What do you guys think?</p> <p>Ps: the loose button got me an additional discount (original $350, marked down to $110 with additional 30% off and additional $15 of for "damage" = girl math!)</p> <p>Trench: Le Chateau </p>
