If you love it, and it suits you, wear it. All colours ebb and flow with fashion, but be influenced by what truly suits you and create your own style. This coat would be so versatile and mix well with several colours as well as looking good over a colomn of colour. Personally, I love a coloured coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330628 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:01:02 +0000 anne 1330628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh I hope not, cos that is one of my favourite colours and I haven't bought anything in in this century! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330621 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:56:34 +0000 Janet 1330621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that colors don't date the way silhouettes do. I don't care if mint green is no longer "the" color -- it's a color I wear well and enjoy, so I'll continue to wear it, just like teal or cobalt or bugundy, after they had their trendy times. </p> <p>So I say if you love a color, wear it! If it's having a trendy moment, that's just a bonus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330530 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 07:59:45 +0000 Caro 1330530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I think its ok if its styled with the right thing--not sure what that would be though. I always have a hard time with pastels in winter, and this looks like a wintery coat to me, but not sure. I do think the cut is great, and you should wait a while before you decide. We are in the midst of a season shift, and you might see things differently when the weather changes...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330495 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 04:44:27 +0000 columbine(erin) 1330495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several cardigans in a very very similar shade because I just love the color. Robin's egg blue and French blue I haven't seen much of for a couple years so snatched up a couple things. I would love to see you would style the coat. It doesn't look electric to me though but that could be the lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330344 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 01:29:37 +0000 CocoLion 1330344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am more sensitive to silhouette being dated than color. &nbsp;The one exception is highlighter, neon yellow which I loved for a second but it now feels dated to me. &nbsp;Kind of like it became dated after it had its much longer moment in the 80s. &nbsp;Most colors do not date the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330343 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 01:27:16 +0000 pil 1330343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not the same color but I have a periwinkle blue boiled wool hip length jacket that I have worn for probably the past 5-6 years. Of course, consider the white bread style sensibilites of this particular source - me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330339 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 01:15:06 +0000 Sal 1330339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Peri!! &nbsp;It is not the colour but how they are worn and combined.</p> <p>When I got married (1998) my theme was periwinkle blue dresses and yellow flowers - it was very much an "in" colour combination at the time. &nbsp;It works - but it can be dated now. &nbsp;Or in the 1980s black and strong colours such as emerald green or purple, or pink and grey. &nbsp;Or in the 1970s brown and orange.</p> <p>I would wear these colours together now but in a different way...But it has taken me a while to come back to pink and grey. &nbsp;I still prefer to wear black with another neutral or alone, rather than with red or cobalt or fuschia.</p> <p>Back to the coat though - I think it is a little flat. &nbsp;You have a killer fashion forward look and the coat reads as quite ladylike. &nbsp;It could be styled in a more fashion way but it might be harder work. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330335 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 01:02:01 +0000 Anonymous 1330335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great way to brighten a dark winter day! Go for it. Just expect to be noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330328 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:46:20 +0000 rachylou 1330328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, well maybe I should say I found the colour electrifying, if not actually electric.</p> <p>I have to ponder this thought about colours always being in style. There is also the possible matter of having my own mini-fads of one. I will get into a colour... and then get over it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330322 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:37:46 +0000 Peri 1330322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't consider colors as being in style or out of style. I wear the colors I like no matter what. The problem is, as Angie says, sometimes the stores don't cooperate. So buy the coat while you can!</p> <p>I do think of certain combos as a fad...like purple and teal says 90's and turquoise and brown says about 6 years ago. But colors themselves, timeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330320 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:33:44 +0000 doubleh 1330320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the lighting in the store, but it doesn't read as "electric" on you as it should. &nbsp;I think perhaps you are outshining it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330319 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:33:27 +0000 Angie 1330319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, all colours are ALWAYS in style. But the fashion industry chooses to highlight specific colours each season because - you know - they can. That's the difference between fashion and style. So often, you have to stock up on a colour when it's on trend&nbsp;because it might disappear for a while. Like we haven't seen dark red for ages because tomato red was more fashionable. Looks like the tables are turning this season.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hopefully the moment for this Robins Egg Blue&nbsp;will not be over - in terms of fashionable availability. The moment is never over for colour in terms of style.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330316 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:29:39 +0000 rachylou 1330316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Maybe this new coat, the blue is not electric enough. I don't know. Hard for me to tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330315 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:28:16 +0000 rachylou 1330315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is me trying on a similar Zara coat. I loved how electric the colour was. I don't know how good I look in light blue... I've a bad eye for blue.</p> <p>Interesting question about being on trend, Deborah! I love being on trend... but am easily distracted and forgetful about it, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/quick-question-is-the-moment-for-this-colour-over#post-1330313 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 00:24:25 +0000 carter 1330313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally love it!
