It fits you so well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121517 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:53:44 +0000 Debora 121517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning and a perfect fit, Shiny! You've inspired me to continue looking for the perfect trench. You are so clever, I never would have thought to switch out the buttons. The brown looks great and I can see it with black buttons, also. Do you wear more black than brown? Either way, it's a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121516 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:48:01 +0000 agrace 121516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is perfection! That fit is completely inspiring! You have indeed found your holy grail of trenchcoats and I am thrilled for you. It looks PERFECT!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121480 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:35:49 +0000 Angie 121480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* </p> <p>Don't worry about it as your instincts were spot on, Jennifer. These epaulettes are subtle and lie very flat - they might as well not be there :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121412 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:09:32 +0000 shiny 121412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must be losing my mind. I just looked at the coat and you are right Angie, it has epaulettes!</p> <p>That is just so bizarre... I am scratching my head how I didn't notice them. They do lie very, very flat, and the button is tucked underneath the collar so it doesn't show at all. I tried this coat on in a three-way mirror and viewed from all sides - admiring how the coat didn't make my shoulders look too broad - but still missed it. </p> <p>Maybe it's menopause fog? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121406 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:45:34 +0000 Debbie 121406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coat. Your hair always looks so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121385 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:44:03 +0000 Angie 121385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. I'd put my head on a block that there are extended tabs with buttons on the shoulders of your new trench. Those would equal epaulettes. What’s that detailing then, Jennifer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121384 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:26:07 +0000 julieanne 121384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love it!! I am petite too and have had a hard time with trenches. This one looks absolutely perfect. I'll have to check out our ATO very soon!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121380 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:11:59 +0000 shiny 121380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, no it doesn't (unless my term is wrong? The fussy doohickies on the shoulder?) It may just look that way in the pic. That's a shoulder seam, not a useless loop with a button designed to add bulk to shoulders. </p> <p>I did get your PM. Will respond now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121373 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:37:44 +0000 Angie 121373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. (Ahem, Jennifer...this style has epaulettes, but it looks fantastic!). </p> <p>Love the new do too! Did you get my PM? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121370 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:26:35 +0000 rute 121370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, no side pockects, very very flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121361 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 16:01:09 +0000 shiny 121361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the pics - I hastily tied the belt, before my photographer ran off on me. I would tie it neater than this. Also apologies for the "mood" lighting - my daughter insisted on it (she is taking a photography course right now and is all into it... )</p> <p>I'd have preferred black buttons, but I figure that's easy enough to switch out, and the brown ones don't really bother me all that much. What do you think?</p> <p>Also the length: it may not work for skirts and dresses, but that's okay, since I am more likely to wear pants, especially if it's raining. I actually like this length because I think it works better with my height? Many trenches somehow seem to swallow me up. </p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/Winter%202009-10/?action=view&#038;current=newcamera012.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....era012.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/Winter%202009-10/?action=view&#038;current=newcamera014.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....era014.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/Winter%202009-10/?action=view&#038;current=newcamera023.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....era023.jpg</a></p> <p>And you can see my hair cut! Same style as before, but this is just a few hours out of the salon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121195 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 02:23:50 +0000 Krystle-Ashley 121195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh, I wish the weather here in Honolulu permitted trench coats (so chic)! But I am looking for a good spot online to buy fairly-priced rain boots if anyone has any suggestions... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121179 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 01:38:24 +0000 Beth 121179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahem. Pictures, please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121159 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:31:46 +0000 Ele 121159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I was going to ask, Angie Sounds gorgeous and very "shiny". Pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121158 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:22:12 +0000 Angie 121158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When are we going to see it on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-coat-alert-especially-for-petites#post-121151 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:11:17 +0000 shiny 121151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just scored my Holy Grail of trench coats! </p> <p>This is an item I've been seeking for a long, long time. I found it at Ann Taylor Outlet, about $150 with 25% off (storewide discount right now); if you have coupons you could do even better. </p> <p>It's off-white/cream, perfect length, lined, structured, and best of all - no epaulettes!!!! It has a classic silhouette including a belt, but somehow flatters my strong shoulder line and wider waist. I don't feel like a linebacker in it. It's fairly fitted, but I did try it on with a spring-weight suit jacket underneath, and it'll work. </p> <p>For anyone who struggles to get the trench coat to work, give this a try! (Yes I will take photos when I get a chance)</p> <p>ATO had a ton of new stuff in, totally different than AT. I was in AT last week and was very disappointed. They seem to have less and less petites, and I don't like the spring colors. They don't suit me - I look all washed out or just ....blechhhhh.... </p> <p>ATO, on the other hand, is big on navy, turquoise, citron, and cobalt. Yes, more like last year's colors... but they work for me. </p>
