Something that adds fun or light to a wardrobe. Would that have made a difference or is it just the wrong weight? Perhaps worth considering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-2001468 Tue, 12 Feb 2019 07:02:06 +0000 ReneeRedemption 2001468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>I would most definitely say after 2 months i myself, probably would've brought it back to the store</i><i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1997039 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 22:55:15 +0000 Glory 1997039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone for your help on this. I really needed your support and you were very generous! I am not sure why it was such a struggle. Years ago (many many) I used to make most of my own clothing. I had made a navy wool cacoon coat so similar to this one and I think I was smitten with crazy nostalgia.</p> <p>I did return this and am happy that I did. It is too light for our frigid temps and quite right that by the time I can wear it it will be awkward and too warm.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996905 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:24:32 +0000 KikiG 1996905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When the weather is finally right for it, you won't want to wear it due to the bulk--everyone else will be in thinner coats.&nbsp; Return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996902 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 14:13:53 +0000 Sonce 1996902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return.

You can't really judge it by how many times you've worn it if the weather isn't right. The connection to another coat you loved suggests to me that you might wear it. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Can you do the dastardly return &amp; rebuy, so you have a chance to consider it when the weather is right?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996685 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 18:15:20 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1996685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you’re in a climate where it’s more of a spring/fall weight, I’d consider keeping. I think the color makes it a bit less trendy than a beige. Unless you’d rather have the money back in your clothing budget to use for something else. Probably budget would be my deciding factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996683 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 18:09:35 +0000 Sara L. 1996683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you looking forward to wearing it when the temps are right?&nbsp; Will the temps ever be right?&nbsp; If not, then I would return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996681 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 18:07:39 +0000 Suz 1996681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its such a fun coat.

It is the problem with buying out of season, you can’t tell if you aren’t reaching for it because of the weather or because it just isn’t right somehow. But two months is usually a sign of the latter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996655 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 17:01:59 +0000 taylor 1996655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it something you will wear to pieces in the spring and fall ?<br /> Try styling it with outfits for warmer weather. If it doesn’t make you feel great then return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996650 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:45:45 +0000 Anonymous 1996650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Return. You haven't loved it enough to find a way to wear it in 2 months. You will find something you like better. Next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996648 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:34:04 +0000 krishnidoux 1996648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return.&nbsp;<br />Then regret.<br />Then remember why you returned: it stayed in your closet for 2 months. Even with our brutal winters, there could have been days... you'll find an even better one next season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996647 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:12:34 +0000 Helena 1996647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My motto (at least aspirationally!) Is, of it's not a heck yes, it's a no. I would take your indecision as your intuition speaking to you ... Hope that's not too kill-joy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-a-sanity-check#post-1996646 Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:05:19 +0000 Glory 1996646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should I keep or return?<br /> I purchased this cacoon coat 2 months ago. It is a teddy bear navy from Lucky brand. I haven’t yet worn it because it is not warm enough here with our brutal winter. I can still return it but only by today.<br /> Pros- fun and on trend. Reminds me of a coat a made years ago which I loved.<br /> Cons - 2 months in and tags still on. Trendy teddy fabric doesn’t have lasting power.<br /> Wracked with indecision </p>
