That said, I will try on the coat with some outfits and see what I think. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821587 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:13:53 +0000 DeniseP 821587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, Goldenpig! Thanks for your comment and link to your previous post about leopard print! I missed it, but you're right -- it was lively!<br /> Reminds me of Angie's recent post on camouflage print -- folks have strong reactions to certain fashion designs...<br /> To be honest, I never realized the Leopard print connection to old lady attire or hoochie-territory. Guess I've been under a rock. But I do love some animal print.<br /> Three things from your post helped me though: the quality of the print can make it look cheap or well-done; the cut of the item matters; and, if one likes it, wear it and don't worry about what others think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821553 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:23:39 +0000 goldenpig 821553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun coat and what a great price! I am so tempted but DH would kill me! Last time I tried to buy a leopard print coat we had a huge fight about it. The YLF consensus was a leopard coat wasn't worth marital stress so I returned it. (That said, I just bought a pair of leopard booties, so we'll see if that can fly under the DH radar).</p> <p>As for MNSara's comment, here's a fun thread I posted about whether or not leopard was aging--the comments were quite lively!<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-leopard-print-aging-man-repelling" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-repelling</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821542 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:16:13 +0000 DeniseP 821542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin, you are too funny!</p> <p>I saw 'The Graduate' when I was a junior in HIGH school, and that movie made me blush. Imagine that!<br /> Then I had to tell my dad a little fib about what movie we saw. BUT, that was forty-five years ago ... Time has a way of changing things. But I'm not out to be a Mrs. Robinson!</p> <p>I am thinking like you -- keep the outfit minimal with nothing else going on, letting the coat be the statement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821521 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:52:45 +0000 Thistle 821521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fun idea to experiment with. Looking forward to seeing you post how you wore it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821508 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:30:36 +0000 Kristin SF 821508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DeniseP, I too was wondering about MNsara's comment. Is it a Mrs. Robinson thing?</p> <p>It led me to look for some blog posts about wearing animal prints, and I did find these, but nothing age-related per se, although some did post in the comments about Mrs. R.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/11/17/faux-fur-coats-yay-or-nay/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/11/.....ay-or-nay/</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/29/animal-print-blouses/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/08/.....t-blouses/</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/20/bold-career-style-personified/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/.....rsonified/</a> </p> <p>I think if you keep the rest of the look super minimal, it should be fine. But, I would be interested to hear other viewpoints as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-821500 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 18:14:41 +0000 DeniseP 821500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, MNsara!</p> <p>Just about to hit order button on this cute coat till your comment stopped me in my tracks. </p> <p>I'll soon turn 62 years old and like to have fun with fashion, but STILL -- try to be very careful so I won't be a laughing stock. You know the 'fine line' that you don't want to cross?</p> <p>So, do you think this leopard coat is too much for, ahem, the mature ones among us? </p> <p>Comments anyone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820913 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 03:22:19 +0000 Ariadne 820913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that LAM blog post too! I love the coat. It's not *my* style but I will enjoy it on the rest of you for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820906 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 03:18:06 +0000 MNsara 820906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most excellent coat I remember seeing Atlantic-Pacific's Malene Birger coat and being smitten and blown away by the price! Nice to find a very reasonable substitute.</p> <p>I am considering one too, but I'm of the age where we have to do Leopard v.e.r.y carefully </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820770 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:56:35 +0000 carolbee 820770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent idea to give it a whirl for $55. If I was in the US I would too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820747 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:41:25 +0000 Jjsloane 820747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 leopard coats (one a little similar to this and a plusher long one - both bargains, but not this good) and I want this one too! I will resist since I'm veering into crazy cat lady territory (ok, I've been there) but honestly it looks like a nice one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820739 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:32:26 +0000 lynne 820739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might just jump with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820608 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:31:29 +0000 biscuitsmom 820608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet!

I totally can't wait to see what you do with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-faux-leopard-coat-amazing-asos-buy#post-820434 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:21:19 +0000 Kristin SF 820434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'm still figuring out my style and I don't know if a faux leopard coat even fits within my reality lifestyle or if it's a fantasy item, but for $55, I figured why not give it a whirl.</p> <p>Here's the original blog post that alerted me to this amazing buy:<br /> <a href="http://www.lesantimodernes.com/2013/01/foundations-perfect-faux-leopard-coat.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lesantimodernes.com.....-coat.html</a></p> <p>And today's A-P post is a near match, although several hundred dollars more expensive, at least!<br /> <a href="http://atlantic-pacific.blogspot.com/2013/01/on-repeat.html" rel="nofollow">http://atlantic-pacific.blogsp.....epeat.html</a></p> <p>I figure I can style the coat with jeans and a t-shirt, for a trip to the grocery store....no? ;-)</p> <p>Anyway, love these fast fashion super buys that let me experiment. It's all a journey! </p>
