And I nodded at Jules, Gaylene and Suz's comments. </p> <p>It's the kind of coat that won't date easily and a colour that is seasonally cheery and yet will stand up to the test of trends and time. Beautiful fit. Flawless in fact. The low stance looks dressier than the average coat, like it would squire eveningwear very gracefully. And versatile precisely because it allows you to play with more layers up top --- assuming the sleeves and shoulders will take them. </p> <p>But it really *is* calling out for a big chunky infinity knit or silk-cashmere pashmina to partner it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-815137 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 11:44:45 +0000 Laura 815137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty!

This fit is perfect and the shape is just so flattering and attractive.

I presume it's warm enough - that's always my worry with wool coats (vs. down)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814995 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 04:34:29 +0000 Beth Ann 814995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for keep, and I live north of Chicago! I have a puffer I love, but I find the mid-weight coats great for most winter days, since I commute by car. </p> <p>This is so flattering to your shape and isn't frumpy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814952 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 03:57:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 814952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To heck with the model - you look stunning in this Thistle. The colour is lovely on you and the fit is spot on. Talk about figure flattering! And your cream hat and gloves will look beautiful with it. Pop on a good thick and slightly longer scarf to fill the space and Bob's your Uncle!</p> <p>But you need to be comfortable in it and feel that it will be warm enough for you. If those two question are "yes", then wear it and feel gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814930 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 03:35:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 814930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others the coat looks great on you - but you are the one who has to feel good in it. Are you liking it more now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814881 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:38:42 +0000 Debora 814881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a keeper!

What Suz said. I hope you keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814864 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:19:53 +0000 pil 814864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose that was a dumb question to ask someone who lives in Wisconsin. Eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814850 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:06:47 +0000 Thistle 814850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a hat every day in winter and most fall and spring days. It is actually cream colored. I also wear cream colored gloves everyday as well! No cold ears or fingers for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814844 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 02:01:56 +0000 pil 814844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, this is very becoming on you. Such a feminine cut with the flared skirt and we see Thistle, not just the coat : ) And think of the possibilities for pretty scarves.<br /> Do you ever wear hats? I find they help with warmth too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814826 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:41:52 +0000 Suz 814826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sensational in this coat. SenSAtional!!!!! I totally understand your concerns about warmth. But I say keep it anyway, because you can always use a dressier wool coat and this will not date. Eventually, you'll find a warmer coat in a great style and you will still have this one. </p> <p>Here's what I would do: Buy yourself three gorgeous scarves. Also, a cashmere sweater, as Gaylene suggested, and maybe merino thermals for underneath. There are more ways to layer and stay warm than one....and you can wear this beauty from fall to spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814823 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:36:23 +0000 Gaylene 814823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love it on you--no question there, but (1) you need to feel happy in the coat, and (2) you need to see if you can fit a light sweater (maybe an excuse to buy a cashmere one?) underneath if you think you'll need more warmth. If you answer yes to both questions, then the fun starts because that coat can go from dressy to sporty depending on the accessories you pair with it--making it very versatile and a good long-term investment.</p> <p>And truthfully, that coat was made for you--you look gorgeous in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814810 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:21:28 +0000 Thistle 814810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mellllis, I live in Wisconsin, so yes, very cold!</p> <p>I think I may need to do a little scarf shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814809 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:20:19 +0000 Mellllls 814809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think it looks great but it would definitely need a scarf at all times. do you live in a cold-weather climate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814808 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:19:53 +0000 Diana 814808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. And I love lower necklines on coats... You can have so much fun with scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814805 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 01:15:01 +0000 Jules 814805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, if you're not sold by the raves, try it with a lighter coloured chunky circle scarf, even a white turtleneck under it - I think something to draw the eye up and towards your face might change your perception of the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814775 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:52:58 +0000 Karie 814775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I think this coat looks terrific on you. Could you wear a long sweater under it for added warmth if you need to?<br /> KEEP IT (I'm screaming, I hope you can hear me!)<br /> BTW, you wear the coat BETTER (screamed that too) than the model. They are always way too thin, I'd like to give them a Christmas present...a couple hundred tins of cookies should do it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814773 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:52:18 +0000 kellygirl 814773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat is divine on you. It's definitely a 10! Perfection, IMHO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814770 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:51:59 +0000 rachylou 814770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this coat on you, Thistle. You don't look short and frumpy to me. But if you can't wear it, that's a deal breaker. I used to have a coat like this that came with a matching scarf and I always wore them together. You have to up to that kind of fuss.</p> <p>I say this as a person for whom warmth has become paramount - I've abandoned wool coats all together and now only wear puffers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814765 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:50:08 +0000 Anonymous 814765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you have to feel fabulous in it, no matter what we say.</p> <p>But girl, you look amazing in this jacket! I KNEW double-breasted and a nipped in waist would look stunning on you and I was right (hey, I don't get to say that often, so indulge me a little)!! I always wear a scarf with my wool coats. They add even more interest and color and draw the eye up, too, towards your pretty face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814759 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:45:13 +0000 Day Vies 814759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat is fabulous on you. The nipped waist loves your body! True you won't wear it without a scarf -- but a lovely cream scarf is just what this coat needs. I love it. (now if only I could find just as flattering for me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814754 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:42:58 +0000 Angie 814754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Absolute perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814751 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:41:22 +0000 Emily 814751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second k can shop - I like this, I don't think you look frumpy at all! I think the fit and flare shape and wide lapel are really flattering on you and the coat looks like a great fit. I think it is a fun style and pretty colour that is an upgrade from basic black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814749 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:39:30 +0000 Jjsloane 814749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it very flattering on you. Do you wear larger scarves? It would look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814744 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:36:50 +0000 Anonymous 814744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!<br /> As a matter of fact I ordered one for me when you posted, as I was intrigued by the 100% fine italian wool and I am keeping it, since the plaid one did not work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-new-outerwear#post-814742 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:35:19 +0000 K. Period. 814742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I really like this! I opened the link you provided first and didn't expect to like the pea coat styling. When I looked at your picture, though, WOW! I really really really love that this is a fit and flare. It looks so much better on you than the coat you tried on earlier this week! Infinitely better! I would say that this is a 10. </p> <p>Also, I think the open neckline is great, actually. It allows you to wear a heavy weight scarf in the winter and a lighter one in the spring and fall. It also lets you update the feel of the jacket in the spring by wearing something with a darker burgundy and lighter, springier color. (I'm thinking of a floral scarf that I have that has navy, pink and bright green, which would look perfect with this in the spring.) </p> <p>Can you fit a sweater underneath this? If you can, then I vote keep! </p>
