[Looking down and scuffing toe on floor.] I may have ordered it with Talbots' 20% off code.</p> <p>But yes -- now that we know it doesn't work for me, I can stop thinking about it. Onward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-703401 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 11:20:14 +0000 Jenniferblue 703401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April,<br /> Thank you for the update. I guess the coat is in the stores now?<br /> JB </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-703249 Sun, 26 Aug 2012 02:10:18 +0000 MNsara 703249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad. But isn't it a bit of relief when you KNOW it doesn't work for you? You tried and it failed.</p> <p>On to the next great woolen coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-703160 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 23:50:31 +0000 JR 703160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That wine colour is superb, isn't it? Too bad about the fit, but at least it makes the decision easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-703154 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 23:42:51 +0000 April 703154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. I tried on this coat today. *Love* the color, but the cut is too voluminous for me. </p> <p>Ah, well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695859 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:15:05 +0000 April 695859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, now I have another part to my equation: with the 20% off coupon, plus returning the Only Mine sweater, I'm fully expecting Talbot's to send *me* a check... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695856 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:11:34 +0000 Anonymous 695856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your math skills are friggin awesome lol<br /> That's some coat, let me tell you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695849 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:06:30 +0000 April 695849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JB -- they didn't say the coat would appear in stores, only that *something* in the wine color would be arriving (it's prominent among their fall offerings).</p> <p>Come to think of it, I have not usually seen coats in the real stores. Probably take up too much space.</p> <p>P.S. Anyone thinking about this coat, the promotion code REDBOOK will get you 20% off at checkout. Through 9/9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695841 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:57:59 +0000 Jenniferblue 695841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April- So from what your found out today at Talbots, the coat will show up in the stores at some point?<br /> The description says talbots.com only. I guess from what you've learned that's just for now. That's good news, I want to try it on in a store too.<br /> Thanks for the update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695776 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 21:18:21 +0000 Anonymous 695776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm.....very nice! I think the Shadow Heather (Grey) is calling my name. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695741 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:50:07 +0000 nancylee 695741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*GASP* It's beautiful!

I think you should order it and return if you don't like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695694 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:17:15 +0000 April 695694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE: Talbot's did not have the coat on display -- too early in the season. I asked if they had *anything* in the "wine" color, just so I could see if it was as beautiful as it looks on my monitor, but alas, it's one of their upcoming fall colors and was not yet visible in the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695223 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:47:37 +0000 Deborah 695223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the math! We must have been in the same class The coat is quite stunning. Let us know how you go. If the fit is good and it's what you want I say you should have it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695200 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 10:38:19 +0000 April 695200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, let's not kid ourselves -- I have bought any number of outerwear items, including a cream puffer coat for really cold days, I merely haven't bought a woolen cloth winter coat in a while. </p> <p>Debora -- no, you're so right, I never got The Very Expensive Coat. Do I regret that? Enough that I occasionally check eBay for one. :)</p> <p>Okay, so now it's even worse, because I see there is also a version lined with Thinsulate for more warmth: <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi29328&#038;rootCategory=cat70008&#038;catId=cat810041&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Regular&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70008" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat70008</a></p> <p>As it happens, I'll be downtown today and will nip into the store and see if they have it on display. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-695139 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 05:04:22 +0000 jayne 695139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous ...perfect coat. hope I can get one myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694896 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:39:17 +0000 Debora 694896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, you never did get The Very Expensive Coat from a few years back, am I correct? You better get this one, girlfriend. Pronto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694795 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:22:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 694795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well we certainly don't want you eating gruel so you better get the coat (lol)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694789 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:18:30 +0000 catgirl 694789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you returned the sweater?! I loved it on you! Too bad about the zipper!</p> <p>Love the coat color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694738 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 22:22:35 +0000 rae 694738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't had a new coat in years? I say go for it! It is the color of the season, but it is also a wonderful neutral that also happens to be a color that never really disappears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694669 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:33:56 +0000 Jem 694669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is a classic collar, so I say buy! I like your math (especially since you already returned the sweater) ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694661 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:31:08 +0000 April 694661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, just to be clear, I did return the sweater because I knew the zipper hanging askew would bother me too much.</p> <p>Hmm... do I "need" a classic coat in a swoony, on-trend color? On the one hand, nooo...no more, that is, than people need delicious, visually appealing meals instead of gruel. :)</p> <p>On the other hand, I have not bought a winter coat in several years, and both of my woolen coats are neutrals (chocolate brown and grey). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694606 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:56:41 +0000 Jenniferblue 694606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"How can you resist"? (Gray Gardens)</p> <p>I saw it a day ago and the Riding Red won't leave me alone.<br /> It's the cut and the color and the styling that I saw. Ivory turtleneck, jeans, black riding boots, red classic coat. </p> <p>April, sign me up for your math class! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694600 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:53:03 +0000 biscuitsmom 694600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SWOON! I got a similar style coat in Forest green from Bodens, and Ive gotten a ton of use from it:) Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694595 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:50:10 +0000 Suz 694595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is gorgeous. </p> <p>But I loved the sweater on you. </p> <p>So I think you need to redo the math until you can have both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694591 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:47:58 +0000 deb 694591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that coat and had I not purchased the cobalt Kenneth Cole coat at NAS I would get it. Hmm.. Maybe when it is on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694562 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:30:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 694562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting math skills April (lol)! It is a gorgeous coat - which item would you get more wear out of? Which do you need more? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-coat-is-calling-to-me#post-694532 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:11:57 +0000 April 694532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the "wine" color, I'm finding this breathtaking: <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?id=prdi29333&#038;rootCategory=cat70010&#038;catId=cat810041&#038;sortKey=Default&#038;section=Regular&#038;conceptIdUnderSale=cat70010" rel="nofollow">http://www.talbots.com/online/.....e=cat70010</a></p> <p>I'm pretty close to convincing myself that returning the Only Mine zipper-back sweater ($69) gives me the budget to purchase this coat ($269). </p> <p>This is the kind of math I do when I see something beautiful. </p>
