Puffer! I get a Benardo every year. If temps will go below 25 F, wear thermals too and a sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-gray-than-blue-puffer#post-1432284 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 03:17:29 +0000 rizamei 1432284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>suz - I totally agree! I find online shopping so convenient, but it's amazing the difference seeing some items in person can make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-gray-than-blue-puffer#post-1432276 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 03:13:25 +0000 Jaime 1432276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-gray-than-blue-puffer#post-1432202 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 02:08:56 +0000 Kristin L 1432202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty color and looks nice on you!

I also have a couple wool coats--including a black swing coat and a purple pea coat--but neither of those two are especially warm. Since some upcoming travel is taking me to far colder climes, I thought I should invest in a somewhat warmer coat for walking around the city. I wanted something long but relatively sleek, preferably with a hood and some good zippered pockets. I didn't want to add to my wool coat collection, and it needed to look okay over business casual attire.&nbsp;</p> <p>I ended up with this Bernardo puffer from Nordstrom. I'd actually looked at it on the website, but didn't care for how it looked. It was a little too shiny, and the blue was too blue.&nbsp;Today I was at the mall for other reasons, so I stopped in and looked to see what might be on sale in the petites area. They had this coat, in the "steel blue manatee," and I was pleasantly surprised to find the color a lot more subtle in real life. At first glance, it's a lot more gray than blue. There is certainly some blue, and there's some sheen, but overall, the effect is pretty neutral.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bonus: it's packable, which is especially handy for the upcoming travel! </p>
