Wish we had H&amp;M nearby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-122549 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 02:14:45 +0000 shana 122549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn, this trench looks fabulous on you! The shape is just perfect. I understand about the shopping ban though - like I've said before, you'll live to shop another day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-122439 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:37:04 +0000 Dawn 122439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had persuaded myself on Saturday that I could live without this trench coat as I already have a blue flared trench coat but then I also thought about the cost-per-wear of this trench coat. As I wear trench coats from March to October (including the summer), the CPW for this trench coat would easily be very little. I think I will get the coat this weekend and have the sleeves altered. </p> <p>Now, how am I going to fit it into my budget? As the months of February and March are training for mountain biking race season, I'm going to stop drinking when I go out and give up junk food so I'm going to save a fortune anyway.</p> <p>Also Maya, it came in numerical sizes. I think they run pretty true to size. I'm wearing my normal size 4 there, there was no size 2 in the shop to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-122330 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:19:51 +0000 AJ 122330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I luv it!! I see so many cute H&amp;M items in many blogs but the closest store to me is 3 hours away!!! Boo-hoo!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-122312 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:43:48 +0000 Magali 122312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This trench is definitely a winner... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-122287 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:25:34 +0000 Vani 122287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER trench Dawn. You look sooo pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121889 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:05:46 +0000 Kristine 121889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reviews Dawn! I meant to get over to H and M yesterday to try them on also, but didn't make it. The trench coat is so pretty. I wish the skirt of it wasn't quite so flared, but I'll give it a try. Coral is a great color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121888 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:57:04 +0000 Maya 121888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try banning shopping bans when you have no money. Not so easy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121873 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:57:56 +0000 Angie 121873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheers, Laura!</p> <p>Dawn - KILLER. </p> <p>(Remember that there's black too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121821 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:33:18 +0000 Laura 121821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fabric on that trench looks like such good quality! </p> <p>Deals like this are why I ban shopping bans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121820 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 12:19:10 +0000 rute 121820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!

It's wonderful on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121726 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:44:13 +0000 Beth 121726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn, the color of that trench is really lovely on you. </p> <p>Sounds like a trip to H&amp;M is in order! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121718 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:06:21 +0000 Maya 121718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already wanted that trench SO badly and now after seeing it on you I want it even more! It looks amazing on you. But like you, I am on a shopping ban I'm only getting things that are $15 or less.</p> <p>Did the trench come in letter (s/m/l) or number (36/38/40) sizes? I'm thinking of calling one of the 93897988790 H&amp;M's in NY to see if they have it in stock so I don't have to go out to each one to find my size. I'll be interested to see if they work on my almost-normal-length arms. I wish stuff didn't sell out so fast at H&amp;M...but luckily since I have so many stores I'm hoping my shopping ban can be lifted in time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121701 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 20:15:09 +0000 chewyspaghetti 121701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn- I tried on the light coral in the cardi, too. It was too pale for me, also.<br /> The trench looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121696 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:41:21 +0000 Dawn 121696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, hopefully this link works: <a href="http://adressandabike.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img1561.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://adressandabike.files.wo.....mg1561.jpg</a></p> <p>It also seems that wordpress may have crashed for the last ten minutes.

I'm telling you, that's a KILLER trench and fabulous cardigan. (Also couldn't see the pics). </p> <p>The extended arm length on H&amp;M's items is one of the reasons I like to shop there. My gorilla arms actually get coverage. </p> <p>Dawn, please go back to the blog posts and write your experience on each of those items when you have a moment. I'd REALLY appreciate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121691 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:32:32 +0000 Beth 121691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn, I couldn't get the link to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tried-on-hm-trench-cardigan#post-121687 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:29:26 +0000 Dawn 121687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was near a H&amp;M today and after reading Angie's two posts about their new cardigans and trench coats, I just had to pop in to try them on. </p> <p>I quickly found the cardigans in cobalt, black, light grey and the most beautiful shade of light coral, and went to the dressing room to try the coral and blue cardigans on. Unfortunately the coral is way too pastel for my colouring but it would easily look fabulous on many of the YLF ladies. The cobalt on the other hand was stunning. The best thing about them is that they are a really fine gauge knit and will look wonderful belted over a dress.</p> <p>The coral trench coat really stood out as it is a really eye-catching colour. It fit quite well around my body but the arms were way too long. The hem hit me right above my knee. </p> <p>Here is a photo (please ignore the hungover face on me): <a href="http://adressandabike.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img156.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://adressandabike.files.wo.....img156.jpg</a></p> <p>I really wish I weren't on a shopping ban right now because I would snap that up right now and get the sleeves altered. </p>
