Nicole, I'm so glad this trench ended up being a keeper. Of course it wouldn't have been possible without your Mom, who is awesome!</p> <p>And I love the red on you!

Your mom is so great to do that!! Facials are definitely deserved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-28815 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 20:15:18 +0000 Nicole 28815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks I'm glad you all approve. My mom worked really hard on that one. Not only did she have to take in the coat, but she also had to adjust the inner liner (not the removable one, but the attached satin lining). She said the whole thing was a challenge.</p> <p>AJ, mom and I decided our next outing would be for facials! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-28808 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:36:29 +0000 Amanda 28808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the trench -- red is a wonderful color on you.

(I'm keeping the red trench).</p> <p>Patience, I saw the "alternative" chuck taylors at TJ Maxx. They had several pairs and they were only $20. I'm hoping to make a quick stop there tomorrow. They also had some in brighter colors, but since my other pair are baby blue, I wanted something more low key. They are low tops though--just thought I'd point that out. I prefer low tops because they are easier to put on and off. You can't see the tops of the sneakers so I don't think anyone ralizes theya re not high tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27717 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:52:08 +0000 marianne 27717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I saw a very similar (or maybe the same) MK trench at Nordstrom and the quality looked great. The color is wonderful on you and I hope it can be altered! I also like it with a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27667 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:26:39 +0000 Patience 27667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, love the color of the trench but I also think it's too big.</p> <p>P.S. Can you share where you saw the alternative converse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27590 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:02:35 +0000 Angie 27590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good strategy. If the trench ends up working, you’ve got yourself a FABULOUS look. </p> <p>Love the sound of the "alternative" Chucks. They'll still be age appropriate and sleek. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27557 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:15:28 +0000 Nicole 27557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could show her the trench and see what she thinks. She says the only alterations that are impossible to do are shoulder alterations--she says once the arm hole is cut to accomodate the shoulder seam, you can't make the arm hole smaller to adjust the narrower shoulder. So....if the jacket fits in the shoulder then she could take it in at the waist and shorten the sleeve for sure.</p> <p>I think I'd be more inclined to wear it without the liner. It's a button in liner that does not have sleeves. It's a really well made coat. (and I got a screaming good deal on it--it was originally $230, it was 30% off, plus I got an additional 15% off for using my Macy's card--the total was like $130 or something ridiculous. But that is not why I bought it. I probably would have paid full price. I was so happy to see a single breasted trench in a color other than black, and with a removable belt.)</p> <p>I guess I'll try the medium on w/out the liner and then make a final decision.</p> <p>I'm so glad you like the shoes. I almost put them back, but then decided that I've been looking for closed toe pumps w/ a wedge heel for too long. I wish they were black, but I can work with brown, especially since it's not chocolate.</p> <p>One more question. What do you think about Chuck T's that are a little less traditional? I saw two pair today that caught my eye. One pair was black with a dark grey tongue. The other were black with red stitching and a red stripe on the side of the white rubber sole. I'd like to get a pair of black or grey chucks--my other pair are baby blue and they are the kind that have no laces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27543 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:29:22 +0000 Angie 27543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes- KILLER. Let’s see them on. </p> <p>Fabulous colour trench! Just looks a tad too big. Your idea of taking out the liner in an M is a good one. Do you think the trench is the right weight without the liner? </p> <p>Can your Mum tailor this trench? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27506 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:16:57 +0000 Antje 27506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great trench, especially like it belted, but yes, it's too big on you :-(<br /> The color is very flattering on you. I've seen this trench in an ad and want to check it out, too...<br /> Great shoes! I think you'll get a lot of use out of them, and they look absolutely appropriate for a job interview. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27495 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:16:35 +0000 shell 27495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oopsies! i scanned too quickly! i actually really like it with the belt, but if that's not your style, then there's no sense forcing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27494 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:15:26 +0000 Sarah 27494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say if you don't want to use the belt, you might want to find a jacket that's more tailored. Or see if your mom can alter it. I do love you in red, though.<br /> And I love your new shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27493 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:02:22 +0000 Nicole 27493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shell it does have a belt. It's removable. I took photos of the jacket with and without the belt. I'm not a big belt fan and I know I won't use the belt realistically. I find it a hassle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27492 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:58:26 +0000 shell 27492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>fab shoes! i like the trench, though it does look a bit big. perhaps you could benefit from a style that has a belt? that way you could cinch it in a bit and it might not look so big. i'm sure you've probably tried this style before - do you think it works for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27491 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:52:31 +0000 Becky 27491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, that red looks gorgeous on you. I don't think the trench looks as shapeless buttoned, but unbuttoned it certainly doesn't do you justice. Could your mom take in the waist/hip part? Or would that be a pain what with the liner and all?</p> <p>I love the shoes and think they'd be perfect for wearing with skirts for an interview. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-trench#post-27490 Wed, 24 Sep 2008 17:43:26 +0000 Nicole 27490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I was thinking of you when I bought the shoes. I got them at Marshalls for $40! Glad you like them! </p>
