Good skill!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat/page/2#post-2272352 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 18:09:12 +0000 gryffin 2272352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I think it’s probably a very discerning eye!! I have that eye for grays. I can spot a green or muddy gray a mile off. It’s instant recognition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat/page/2#post-2272324 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 16:28:47 +0000 Angie 2272324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Gryffin</b>! The navy-matching is complete LUCK! Trust me - no wisdom there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2272144 Sat, 16 Jul 2022 12:24:51 +0000 gryffin 2272144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - Because I still haven’t been back into a store I really rely on reviews. It’s so easy to miss. Visual details. I was not planning to order the coat, although I had it in my wish list. Price for that item is way less than normal. So I thought it would be poor quality. But one review popped up how much she loved it. That tipped the scales just like poor reviews will often make me walk away. It’s so helpful. I do love Nordstrom because they have so many active reviewers. That’s how I found my coh emerson blue ridge jeans. Can 125 5 star reviews be wrong? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2272138 Sat, 16 Jul 2022 10:37:51 +0000 Bijou 2272138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I just love the idea of a leather trench coat for you and if it makes you feel like Marlene, then wow, it is a winner. What a fabulous review, with black items, it can be hard to see the details, so your review really helps to understand the cut and fit of this coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2272057 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 22:44:53 +0000 gryffin 2272057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - wowza!! That looks spectacularly wonderful!! But there you have it. The magic is in the mix - ie you have 3 pieces in navy all blending beautifully together instead of being off tone. Then blouse hits perfectly flattering length with skirt and is identical to denim blazer length. How does this magic happen? Wrong navies, wrong lengths or proportions. Being a mere mortal I never achieve that cosmic click of rightness except in the outfit where I’ve bought with that in mind and within the identical silhouette. I don’t have your eye for versatility but I love, love, love watching it in action!! Enjoy your gorgeous skirt. Looks amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2272051 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 21:49:29 +0000 Angie 2272051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gryffin</b>, those are generous words, and I'm humbled.

Seriously, how do you have only one piece of outer wear, even guys need gear, dress coat, puffer and rain coat (although I guess you could use a lined raincoat for dress) but only one.... Sheesh!!&nbsp; BTW you really need the olive SE trench because it's not my color and I really love it and it gives me great pleasure to see you and kkards rocking it!!&nbsp; So see how altruistic you are?!!<br />Grayscale - I could see you in this.&nbsp; Do size down.&nbsp; I have the xs coming and although I know you rock oversized and architectural, I think the small is going to be too big, unless you want really oversized (if you try it)<br />kkards - is there anything better than a good book.&nbsp; Although I tend to reread.&nbsp; I need to do another HP marathon!&nbsp; BTW I'm wearing the sasha booties with the plain harness today in your honor!&nbsp; My first patient, a guy of all things, went berserk over my embellished belt and booties.&nbsp; That honestly just makes my day!!!&nbsp; Enjoy your goodies!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271939 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 11:50:18 +0000 kkards 2271939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just popping back in to say I love the literary references </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271938 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 11:47:16 +0000 Greyscale 2271938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This hadn’t been on my list but you might have convinced me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271934 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 11:24:52 +0000 Janet 2271934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, you say you face plant, but it always seems on here that you are very disciplined and focused in your fashion choices! I always admire how you have very high and specific standards and don’t get carried off with trends. </p> <p>And thanks for the comment about my “collections” LOL — funny, because just last night while discussing our upcoming kitchen/main floor reno project, my husband and I were talking about our outerwear storage needs. He insisted he only needs one coat (hahahaha!). I had to remind him of the Belstaff, and the giant parka, and the wool pea coat, and the motorcycle jacket, and the puffers, and the rain coat and windbreaker, etc. I then admitted that my collection crowds into his side of the coat closet, and he quickly dismissed the idea that I need to get rid of any, insisting that he likes that I have a collection. That made me feel a little less guilty about considering that mixed-media Edelman trench coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271927 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 11:10:35 +0000 gryffin 2271927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime - thanks so much!! Watching the “feeding frenzy” is really fun too!! I always think of you when I shop poshmark. You are the gold standard for finding buried treasure. Like a YLF niffler!! I stand in awe of your skill!!!<br /> Angie - we bow to our super shopper and oracle of all things wonderful and worthy!!! Although I do think one of your greatest super powers is you’ve managed to master the yin and Yang of wardrobe building. By that I mean how much head vs heart in decision, when to leap on the new and when to say it’s not me, when to evolve and when to pare, refine and hone. Like a prima ballerina you always seem to land en pointe while some of the rest of us, ok me, typically face plant!! It’s really thrilling to watch!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271895 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 02:14:48 +0000 Angie 2271895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sewing the seed, just for fun, <b>Gryffin</b>!

But even more I admire people who can admire from afar things that are so perfect for someone else, that you can hear and feel the siren’s song, but not get swept up in it. It’s really neat how there are 3k plus items on sale and we all select different things and they are just right. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271864 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 00:04:28 +0000 ChristelJ 2271864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a marvelously descriptive review!

I’m trying for more discipline. I don’t always succeed. But I can see this effortlessly working irl. I thought the coat would be on its way back and the booties would be staying. You just never know.<br /> Kkards - I have a real love of styles that endure. Just like equestrian and have a little renfaire shadow style like my OTK boots. This gives me those fab victory at dawn vibes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271847 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 23:23:27 +0000 gryffin 2271847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman - thanks so much.

I can see that being perfect with so many of your tops!! Thank you so very much for the recommendation. I used to wear a lot of skirts. But always mini (which is just at the top of the knee for me and only with tights. I don’t do bare legs. I think it’s a 62 yo thing!! I love it. Very elegant but I’m not sure it would get the wear it deserves. But it’s a really intriguing thought. I will cogitate on this. Also can’t wait to see it on you. You never know when operation lemming will kick in! Wow you’ve had a fabulous NAS!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271821 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:34:34 +0000 Angie 2271821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're ordering the XS too. GOOD to see the difference in fit!&nbsp;</p> <p>Now I'm throwing this out there...</p> <p>Do you wear skirts, <b>Gryffin</b>? I JUST got the navy Vince liquid satin skirt- delivered an hour ago &nbsp;- and the black seems like something you might like. The bias cut is NOT skimpy and moulds to the shape of the body in a gliding and very flattering way. Not fitted, but very streamlined. I was hoping the skirt would be longer on me – but it’s not. Same length as the model. It’s a SUMMER skirt for me. Not lined and very lightweight. STUNNING fabric and colour. Luxe and gorgeous against the skin.</p> <p>FWIW </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271813 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:16:31 +0000 gryffin 2271813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - you have the best outerwear and jacket collection ever. Ok I guess I should add in boots, jewelry…. Just amazing pieces and your new coat looks amazing too. Sometimes, well occasionally, we have to breathe and say enough!!<br /> Irina - thanks so much. I have the xs ordered to compare. But yes one will be hanging out here for sure!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271811 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:12:20 +0000 Irina 2271811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it fits and it sounds like a really an excellent piece.&nbsp;<div>You scored :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271801 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:38:21 +0000 Janet 2271801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I'd be tempted if I didn't already have a black leather trench. Mine is a big less versatile and more dressy, but that's ok. I hope you enjoy it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271791 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 20:06:04 +0000 gryffin 2271791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie - thank you. You are very kind!!<br /> Angie - I’m going to do that and order the xs just to see. Although I think the volume is part of the vibe as you say. I only have one trench a short Calvin Klein lined w hood so totally different. I do love belted double breasted coats although I don’t own them as cocoons are just easier to manage. So yes between leather and the silhouette it’s a good addition without being redundant.<br /> Suz - thank you. It has swagger and attitude. Not always easy to find especially classic enough to last. I’m interested to see what a size down looks like. But a seriously good buy for the quality, style and price. That’s always a happy dance.<br /> Rachy - yeah I’m nothing if not blunt! Is you saw my bootie review. But it’s really nice to get more quality than you expect for the price point.<br /> Vildy - thanks so much sweet girl!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271788 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 19:55:40 +0000 Vildy 2271788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this worked out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271784 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 19:48:17 +0000 rachylou 2271784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A strong review! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-halogen-double-breasted-leather-trench-coat#post-2271783 Thu, 14 Jul 2022 19:46:03 +0000 Suz 2271783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous piece -- I can see it working for you very well.
