(Jeans can be SO hard to get right.)<br />I like Angie's suggestion about Gallery coats. I saw an A-line style on Nordie's website that looks like it would be a great style for pretty pears. My go-to green trench is a Gallery coat. I wear it (and like it) so much that it has got to be one of my all-time best purchases.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1006065 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:37:32 +0000 peekaboo 1006065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, it was in the 50s out this morning and I didn't realize (attached garage)&nbsp;til I went to drop my son off at daycare in a tshirt. &nbsp;Yay, mom of the year :-/</p> <p>I'm sure you'll find a great coat, and I hear you on the pear thing. &nbsp;What about something that flares out below the waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1006058 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:34:23 +0000 Thistle 1006058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, Anthro doesn't make clothes in my size. :(</p> <p>I have really never shopped Etsy. Kind of like eBay. I am not confident enough to ever pull the trigger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1006048 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:26:19 +0000 CocoLion 1006048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep thinking how Natalie's red corset trench would look good on you. Hers is from Anthro. A warm cropped scuba might also be really cute with dresses and high waist pants for fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1006034 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 00:05:58 +0000 rae 1006034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I hear you on the fit issues. Have you looked at Etsy at all? A lot of the sellers on there will custom fit their designs at no extra fee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005975 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 22:37:28 +0000 Echo 1005975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and I are in the same weather boat (and same state, I believe). Our weather was the same this morning, but it is supposed to be back into the 80's by the weekend and all next week&nbsp;(although by the lake might be cooler than out here in the boon docks). All the weather people have been talking about how daytime temps have been about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year (70F instead of 80F).</p> <p>Anyway, I will look for coats to suggest, too. I am sure the perfect one is out there! I've been so excited about fall that I've been boot shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005971 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 22:32:48 +0000 AviaMariah 1005971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're starting to feel fall here too in the mornings....but's it's still in the 90's during the day. &nbsp;But I hear you about summer coming to an end way too soon. &nbsp;The only good thing is I'll be able to wear my NAS purchases sooner! &nbsp;Don't give up, you'll find the perfect coat and it will be worth the wait!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005970 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 22:31:37 +0000 lyn* 1005970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so hot here. Come!!! &nbsp;:( 32C! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005969 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 22:27:12 +0000 Thistle 1005969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just dislike coat shopping because of the whole fitting the hips thing. As a pear, it is sooo hard to find. Off to check Nordie's!</p> <p>A less than secret part of me sort of wants a warm leather jacket. The sleek scuba kind . . . I know, practicality is not my strong suit today. I blame it on brain freeze. It should not be in the 40s in August. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005696 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:14:34 +0000 hedgiehog 1005696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness! Come to Florida....the heat index today is 115! I actually sort of envy you....I LOVE coats. We will all help with the shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005694 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:13:49 +0000 JulieJohn 1005694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sending good coat vibes your way, and I look forward to seeing what you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005692 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:11:14 +0000 Suz 1005692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This summer has been really short for us, hasn't it? It's chilly already here, too. But I think maybe it is temporary, no? You'll still have time to shop for coats....I hope!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005687 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 15:07:37 +0000 Aziraphale 1005687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What? &nbsp;I love coat shopping! &nbsp;So many great options, and best of all, you don't have to find a change room and take everything off! &nbsp;(Don't get me started on bra shopping). &nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry to hear your summer is already over. &nbsp;Boo. &nbsp;Mind you, fall fashion is fun, &nbsp;even if you're not keen on coat shopping. &nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005635 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:27:41 +0000 cobaltblue 1005635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brr! I'm on vacation in MI with no heat in our cottage, and it was 38 last night. Way to go, August. Thanks for posting this; I need to check out Angie's suggestion! Sounds like the Gallery trench ticks all the right boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005633 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:26:43 +0000 ironkurtin 1005633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Move to Austin.&nbsp; It's 103.</p> <p>I LOVE coat shopping.&nbsp; You'll find the perfect one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005632 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:26:06 +0000 Anonymous 1005632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on the difficulty of coat shopping. Because it's a noticeable, often pricey item that can get lots of wear, I find it hard to commit to anything less than perfect. Let's hope for more options coming out, although the Wall Street Journal was discouraging. Last week.in an article about coats they said retailers had learned to limit their stock. Sizes have already sold out and it may already be too late to find a coat this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005629 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:23:12 +0000 Angie 1005629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We'll help you find a beautful Autumn coat. Have you tried the Gallery trenches at Nordstrom? They are single breasted, weatherproof, robust, and have a hood and removable lining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005626 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:20:09 +0000 pil 1005626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>46F, ouch! Good luck with the coat hunt, maybe some new options will be available soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-soon#post-1005622 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 14:17:42 +0000 Thistle 1005622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was 46F on my way to work this morning. I had to wear a coat. I made it the last week or so when it was in the 50s in the morning without a coat, but fall has come <i>very </i>early this year.</p> <p>And, I dislike my fall coat strongly.&nbsp; I tried many NAS fall coat options, none of which fit well and worked for me. I thought I had more time to search, but our insanely short summer is already over.</p> <p>Time to start looking in earnest. *sigh*&nbsp; I like coat shopping less than I like jeans shopping!</p>
