The story behind number 3 is wonderful - just an amazing bargain and I am sure that you will get lots of wear from it because it is a beautiful coat! It is great that you now have so much variety from classic to fun.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586525 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 01:05:25 +0000 Angie 1586525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you got a slew of great new coats, Elizabeth. From hole to hill indeed! Killer x3.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586524 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 01:04:53 +0000 Tina 1586524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You lucky duck! Forty three dollars (Canadian dollars at that!) for that coat..<br /> I agree with Merwoman, I would have been thinking 'start the car'.<br /> You have an exceptional line of winter coats here. Wow! I just love the citron with the denim. I actually prefer that combo to the black with citron on you. It may be your light hair, somehow it just flows better to my eye.<br /> You are ready for any type of outfit with these choices. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586519 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 00:57:37 +0000 JAileen 1586519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The J Crew looks wonderful on you! And the BR petite is such an improvement over the regular. Amazing! </p> <p>A couple years ago I got a great deal: a beautiful wool plaid jacket by Woolrich, with a quilted lining. It was only $38 at Sierra Trading Post. I get compliments everytime I wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586513 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 00:33:17 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; I have to admit, it's kind of exciting heading into a winter with some decent outerwear.&nbsp; Fingers crossed that most of it is WARM!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586498 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 23:32:38 +0000 kkards 1586498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, i can't believe how many fabbers look so fab in that&nbsp;BR citron coat. the color and the cut are perfect on you! love…and the navy jacket, another winner…and that black and white coat, perfect for a little fun. (and can i just add that i love the cropped jeans) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586480 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:08:52 +0000 Suz 1586480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From hole to hill! That is hill-arious!&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>YOU</b> are one lucky woman. You really hit the coat jackpot here. I actually can't think of a better collection of wool winter coats, and frankly, I am jealous.&nbsp;</p> <p>You have one simple, versatile, and slightly luxe coat in one of your best neutrals, in a cut that is ideal for your shape. (Also, those coats are supposed to wear like iron). You have one incredibly fun bright coloured coat that flatters you like nobody's business (and in the petite it is very far from sloppy). And you have one exceptionally fun pattern for when you are wearing a column of colour.&nbsp;</p> <p>This sounds like the ideal combination to me. I feel as if I need to go shopping...</p> <p>Yay for wildcards! And also, PPP. You waited until the right year to buy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586479 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 22:07:50 +0000 merwoman 1586479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outstanding deal! I'd be thinking 'start the car'....before they change their mind!<br /> You have a beautiful coat wardrobe Elizabeth that looks stunning on you,<br /> That jcrew coat will stand the test of time. I have a j crew pea coat with shiny gold buttons that I thought I would swap out, but am glad I didn't. I think you'll feel the same way about the zip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586473 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 21:49:46 +0000 Peri 1586473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fantastic!! Great coat wardrobe and I love the fun of the spotted one...but I think my fave is the navy one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-coat-story-from-hole-to-hill#post-1586461 Sun, 22 Nov 2015 20:38:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1586461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wanting a cloth winter coat for a few years now... I seem to forget I need/want one until all the selection is gone.&nbsp; Or the price of them makes me decide to make to just one more year. The last one I got was from Costco, probably four years ago, and it's okay, but not the best with dressy clothes... it's a peacoat.&nbsp; </p> <p>Last year I came very close to trying the J Crew stadium cloth cocoon coat that several fabbers purchased, but the one I was interested was a very vibrant red that quite frankly scared me a bit... I wanted to see it before ordering.&nbsp; But I'd always kept that coat at the back on my mind.</p> <p>So this year, I decided to go for it.&nbsp; In navy - I didn't want black, as I have a black peacoat, and a black puffer.&nbsp; But none of the bolder colours appealed to me, at least not without seeing them.&nbsp; I pulled the trigger when J Crew had a promotion on. &nbsp; And the purchase of my navy/black tote makes the navy appealing as well.</p> <p>And here it is (#1-3).... I LOVE the fit of this coat.&nbsp; For someone who struggles with coats, this was quite exciting.&nbsp; I was a bit disappointed by the zipper...it's very gold.&nbsp; And I am not a gold person at all.&nbsp; But I think it'll be covered by a scarf for the most part.&nbsp; Can I live with this?&nbsp; I may see if I can get the zipper changed, if I decide it bothers me.</p> <p>And while this was on it's way, I had the whole BR citron coat thing happen (#4). Which of course satisfies my desire for a coloured coat.&nbsp; But I know I won't want to wear that one every day, so I'm totally fine keeping both.&nbsp; Esp given how long it's been since I got my last one.</p> <p>And here's the funny part (#5).&nbsp; My 10% coat.&nbsp; Not 10% off... 10%.&nbsp; While I was trying on the citron coat in the BR store, the first time, and saying that I think I really needed a cocoon shape not the fitted shape (as I could see it was sloppy) the SA said to me "you look like you can wear black and white" and proceeded to pull this out.&nbsp; It retailed for $410.&nbsp; Was marked down to $64.99(in store, online it's $280ish).&nbsp; And had 30% off that day.&nbsp; This coat, after taxes, was about $43.&nbsp; How could I not get it as well ???????????????&nbsp; I don't care if I only wear it a half dozen times, it's fun.</p> <p>And that, my friends, is how to turn a wardrobe hole into a wardrobe hill.&nbsp; Or small mountain </p> <p>And I have to say, it's GREAT to have new, fun, colourful options!&nbsp; I think the new puffer will have to wait until next year :)</p> <p> </p>
