I would just say try it with your max number of layers, before committing, but perhaps you did that already. Fab coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976750 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:10:12 +0000 Janet 976750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I also spied a teal Cole Haan coat online (not in store) in NAS, so I'm ordering that too before I commit to this. I like it a lot, but I'm not sure it's The One. Black is of course very versatile, but the teal appeals to me a lot. </p> <p>I do still love my old burgundy coat, but I have a feeling it's going to start showing its wear and tear this winter, and it's my one reliable longer coat (all my others are short, like the JCrew tipped pea coat) . I think I've had the burgundy one for at least 5-6 years, and I plan to keep it (it's classic and I love the color), but when I see a beloved item like that start to show a little wear, I think it's good to have a new favorite come in to play. </p> <p>Zap, yes, this would be a winter coat for me and would accommodate layers underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976653 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:33:05 +0000 Anonymous 976653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yey from me too!<br /> Question, is this coat for layering? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976630 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 10:15:28 +0000 Mochi 976630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976562 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 05:33:02 +0000 rae 976562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976550 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 05:06:19 +0000 CocoLion 976550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I seriously love this on you! This, the sweater and accessories (clutch and bracelets) are my favorite pieces on you so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976523 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 04:17:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 976523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat and beautiful fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976476 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 03:50:03 +0000 Anonymous 976476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976460 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 03:36:52 +0000 Angie 976460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976375 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:22:16 +0000 nancylee 976375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really lovely and just your style, Janet. &nbsp;I say go for it! &nbsp;A good winter coat is a purchase with some staying power. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976373 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:20:52 +0000 Janet 976373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! Encouraging so far. Claire, good point about the longevity of a coat. </p> <p>LOL @ Anna! Yes, I know. It's pathetic. But if I start with the tripod and the D800 and choosing the lens, etc., it becomes a Project. Which reminds me, I really need to get a new "professional" portrait of myself for work (my old one is five years old), and I hate taking self portraits so much. I should just hire someone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976363 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:15:45 +0000 Thistle 976363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is really pretty on you, but I am not sure it suits your edgier style. Would you buy it if it weren't part of NAS? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976357 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:12:16 +0000 Sveta 976357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also admiring this coat online! It is hard to see in the pictures but looks like the fit is very good.<br />Parsley, you can always move the buttons...just saying!;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976356 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:11:53 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 976356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto the other ladies, this is a gorgeous coat on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976355 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:11:09 +0000 annagybe 976355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your photos always crack me up. It's truly a case of the cobbler's children with no shoes. You are a professional photographer, but you take phone pictures.<br />I think it looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976351 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 02:08:53 +0000 merwoman 976351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you Janet. I think it's a gorgeous coat and you wear it beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976328 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 01:59:00 +0000 Parsley 976328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, Janet!<br />The shape of it emphasizes your hourglass figure so nicely- I think it's a great cut.<br />A good, basic black coat is always nice to have, and this one isn't too basic with the cutaway hem and nice shape.</p> <p>I ordered the same coat, but, sadly, I'm realizing in seeing it one you that it's not likely to work for me since it's too fitted in the waist for my straight/apple body. Boohoo! But I'll live vicariously through you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976315 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 01:48:50 +0000 Anonymous 976315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot Janet! Maybe the fact that it's not terribly edgy would be a good thing, since a coat&nbsp;has more longevity than a blouse or sweater. I like the back pleat. It's like a little peplum-bustle thing going on. Looks like a good fit too. I love the open neckline; it's super flattering and is a great place for a scarf, like you said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-trina-turk-officers-coat---yn#post-976308 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 01:41:06 +0000 Janet 976308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tough to get good pictures in here at night, but I gave it a shot. </p> <p>This is an 8 and it may look a little roomy. I could wear a 6, but this will allow for cold weather layering. It has a nice flattering cut, and I like the length. I like that it is fitted without needing a belt. (My old favorite burgundy winter coat is belted.) The pleated back does make it flare out a bit (you can see it in the side view) but I don't have much of a booty so this doesn't bother me. It also doesn't bother me that it does not button all the way up to the neck -- I rarely ever close a coat up that way, and I like scarves with my winter coats anyway (especially since this is black and I can use scarves to soften the effect close to my face). It feels warm enough to me for our winters, which don't tend to be terribly harsh. </p> <p>I think the bunching in the shoulder in the pic of the side view is a result of the way I'm standing and holding my phone. I couldn't get a good shot of the back, although you can see I tried. </p> <p>What do you think? I *think* this is a good fit for my style, but it's not terribly edgy. I didn't really see any other wool winter coats at NAS that floated my boat...except for one that is not as versatile, that also wasn't on sale. That one came home with me too, but I'll post pics in a separate thread.</p> <p>ETA: I just realized I took and posted all these pictures with the top button unbuttoned. It looks better when I actually do it up right, duh. </p>
