Fathenry, I live in Chicago so yes it gets super-cold here! This actually will probably only be worn when it's mildly (i.e. above freezing) cold or if i have to be dressed up; once it goes to full-on winter, the puffy coat rules the roost around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-search-for-a-wool-winter-coat-is-over#post-108293 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:56:55 +0000 fathenry 108293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is great, the collar up really will keep your neck warm if you're in a cool climate. It looks like it will go with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-search-for-a-wool-winter-coat-is-over#post-108272 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:24:23 +0000 taylor 108272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I LOVE this coat on you...SCORE!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-search-for-a-wool-winter-coat-is-over#post-108241 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:08:41 +0000 Anonymous 108241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful.

It had to be:</p> <p>-long enough to cover all my dresses, but not down to my ankles<br /> -have interesting details or shape<br /> -cinch in at the waist, either visually or with a belt<br /> -preferably a great color<br /> -wool, wool, wool!</p> <p>I got everything but the color; it's black, but there are so many great details it definitely still stands out as unique. There is a flared skirt hem at the bottom, a great built-in belt, a funnel neck that looks great open or buttoned up one button, and cute epaulets on the shoulder. Believe me, this is not a boring black coat!</p> <p>Here are some photos. I over-exposed them a lot so you could see the details of the coat, but it really is black and a very nice wool.<br /> Front: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4144549527/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a><br /> Collar up: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4145309014/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a><br /> Collar down: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4144550307/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a><br /> Back: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4145308746/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a></p> <p>Close-up, collar down:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4144548961/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a><br /> Close-up, collar up and rolled:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4145308248/in/set-72157622901182280/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....901182280/</a></p> <p>Best of all, by waiting a week to buy it, I saved $70! It's a Calvin Klein that I could only find at Von Maur department store for $214. I saw it the week before Thanksgiving, but I thought I would wait until Black Friday and see if the price went down. Turns out, they don't have store-wide advertised sales so they weren't doing anything for the day...but they had marked down these coats to $143! Woohoo, it was mine.</p> <p>Phew. Just in time for the weather to turn super-cold, too! </p>
