We'll just have to see if the bag shows up at some point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105810 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:14:46 +0000 RoseandJoan 105810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt looks lovely Boof, I'm looking forward to seeing the photos.</p> <p>Edit: The cobalt will also look fabulous with the pinky red coach bag!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105797 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:02:05 +0000 agrace 105797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boof, You are right - I feel that way all the time about needing to remember to be thankful that I can even be thinking about things like clothes and such (reminds me of the article Angie posted over the weekend from NY Times) At the same time, I probably shop at thrift stores more than anywhere else. I think a coat is a justifiable expense personally, b/c you will be wearing it for YEARS and you want to not get sick of it. </p> <p>I think giving a big ticket item like a coat a lot of thought is a very prudent thing to do.<br /> I just read all the previous posts and see that you do have the free shipping. So, if it doesn't work you can always exchange it. That's a good price for this time of year! let us know what you think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105794 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:58:57 +0000 Inge 105794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo fantastic Boof, can't wait to see the cobalt coat on you. Please post pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105790 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:55:55 +0000 Boof 105790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agrace, I love the pewter for the same reasons you mentioned. I hope I love the cobalt when it comes, or I'll be kicking myself that I didn't order the pewter. I guess I should be very thankful that the toughest decision I face right now is what color coat to order. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105787 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:49:37 +0000 agrace 105787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really actually love the pewter. I find light colored coats to be easier to keep clean than it might seem. I find when I wear the dark colored coats every speck of white shows up on them and hair as well. I LOVE that pewter. Makes me mad it wasn't available when I ordered this coat last year - in cream. The cobalt is also really pretty but it is intense. I like the pewter b/c I think it would be hard to get sick of and it is slightly different.....I agree, picking a color is really hard! at least they have free shipping right now, let me know if you do not have a promo for that and i'll give you mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105786 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:49:05 +0000 Boof 105786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Inge, you must have been reading my mind. I think we posted at the same time. :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105785 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:47:59 +0000 Boof 105785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sooo not patient. I ordered the Lady Day coat in cobalt. It did help that it was on sale, Chewy. I got free shipping too! :o) I tried to think of color combinations that would look bad with cobalt, and I had a hard time thinking of any. </p> <p>Shannon, I love the spiced wine too. I have several items for fall/winter in that color (I seem to be gravitating to it), and I'm afraid I'll get tired of it. I had the same concern about the hydrangea that you mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105782 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:45:51 +0000 Inge 105782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt is beautiful Boof and would look great with your hair colour I think. I also love the spiced wine, or how about the dark poppy?</p> <p>The bright hydrangea is a lovely colour too but I think the cobalt will add more spunk to your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105752 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:27:35 +0000 chewyspaghetti 105752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cobalt is pretty- and it's on sale for quite a bit less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105751 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:18:11 +0000 shannon 105751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the spiced wine is nice. Seems pretty neutral without being black or brown. Cobalt would be my next choice. The bright hydrangea is pretty, but I could see you wanting a new coat sooner than you intended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-with-coat-colors#post-105749 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:04:56 +0000 Boof 105749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've pretty much settled on ordering this coat to try. I just can't decide on a color. I like the light pewter but am concerned about showing dirt every time I bump up against something. I want something that will look good with most everything but not black, brown, etc. Should I lean towards the spiced wine, cobalt, or bright hydrangea? It just should not be this hard to pick out a coat! :o)</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/outerwear/wool/PRDOVR~79203/79203.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../79203.jsp</a> </p>
