About olive one why not, if you find right one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1888135 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:28:54 +0000 Jane 1888135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rachylou.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ah, yes Bijou, the next generation - good choice of words.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you Angie, I can't tell you how good it is to be back, and to be so warmly welcomed back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1888063 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 15:33:12 +0000 Angie 1888063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming back into say that I missed you, <b>Jane.</b>&nbsp;Very good to see you back on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887999 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 08:12:18 +0000 rachylou 1887999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a Wow! coat! Snap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887996 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 08:05:32 +0000 Bijou 1887996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the berry ensemble on you and agree that the green tones will be gorgeous on you. I say yes to seeing if there is a green coat or boots that meet your needs now, especially if they are on sale. You can be fussy and wait for the perfect items because you have some great coats already.</p> <p>I understand your reluctance about buying them now, because I can do this too, be reluctant to buy items once it gets to the end of the season. However, because summer is my longest season and I have almost worn out my favourite sandals (two pairs that have been the most comfortable workhorses over at least 2 years), I bought two new pairs on sale recently. It feels good to know that I have the next generation to replace those favourites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887991 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 07:10:58 +0000 Jane 1887991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boosted by your votes of confidence, thank you so much, I looked again at a Massimo Dutti green coat in the sales. My size had gone, but even in my size, I think it would have been a compromise.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you Inge. The scarf was a gift from an architect he had designed himself, and the colours are just so good for me. The fabric is beautiful. Good point too, on changing my mind. I won't and can be confident that any purchase that I make is good if I make good decisions, heart and head in balance!</p> <p>Thank you Smittie and Suz. Thank you Aurore. They are dark green pearls and I really enjoy wearing them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you Angie, yay to the Killer comment. Layers work well for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I'm going to continue looking and see where I get too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887926 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 01:47:58 +0000 Bonnie 1887926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely coat outfits and I admire your dedication to making them perfect. I think you should go for the green.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887867 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 21:57:03 +0000 Lynn 1887867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the berry coat capsule and like others salute your tenacity in building it. It would be beautiful to do the same in green, especially with your hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also kudos to making the Zara coat work for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887752 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 14:55:54 +0000 Angie 1887752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking Professional, Practical and Chic as always, <b>Jane. &nbsp;</b>The berry coat with the boots are a KILLER combination. Your layering tactic with the Zara coat is clever.&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b>You'll look fab in&nbsp;<b></b>olive&nbsp;<b></b>greens too. Good plan.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887733 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 13:28:36 +0000 Aurore 1887733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the Club Monaco and the Zara coat look gorgeous on you! Especially with the skirt and boots. The berry silhouette is amazing, I admire your patience and determination to create it. <br />Also, your necklace is perfect with the Boden top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887728 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 13:14:18 +0000 Suz 1887728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, the berry coat capsule is gorgeous on you. And such patience and planning you showed in putting it together. I am wondering with Inge, why you think you might change your mind about green? It certainly would look gorgeous on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like your layering strategy with the Zara coat. Where there is a will, there is a way!&nbsp;</p> <p>Beautiful skirt and top, too, by the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887726 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 12:57:41 +0000 Anonymous 1887726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous coats and outwear ensembles. I love the colour of the berry one. It is very muted and moody . Perfect for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887721 Fri, 09 Feb 2018 12:37:09 +0000 Inge 1887721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both coats are beautiful, Jane, and I love that you create tiny capsules with each coat. The scarf with the second coat is amazing too, sooo good with the grey plaid!! Brilliant that they work so well for your commute. (And I too have discovered the versatility of those Uniqlo padded jackets. They really do provide a good deal of extra warmth, don't they. And they pack away so small. Very handy).</p> <p>The Boden V-neck top is a great find! Wonderful with that gorgeous skirt and your jacket.</p> <p>I'm getting all excited about the idea of a green coat capsule, Jane (partly because I would looooove a pair of green tall boots myself;-) AND because I know it's going to be stunning on you. Question: Why do you think you will change your mind, Jane? Just asking because it seems that you didn't change your mind about the berry coat, and you've clearly been thinking about the green for a while too? (Not trying to be an enabler, but looking around for a great green Winter coat is a good idea for sure with all the sales going on at the moment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887567 Thu, 08 Feb 2018 21:33:03 +0000 The Cat 1887567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your berry coat looks nearly black on my screen, but the description sounds great. And you look so happy in all photos. The idea of a coat, bag and boots in shades of green sounds fab, and I bet the green shades will look gorgeous with your beautiful personal colour palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-coats-and-wiw#post-1887547 Thu, 08 Feb 2018 20:34:03 +0000 Jane 1887547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this berry coloured coat in photo 1, and really enjoy wearing it with my berry OTK boots and my Kooples scarf. This is a good outfit for the commute, comfortable warm and the coat, boiled wool, takes being folded up on the train well. I have a pink Furla bag to finish off the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Photo 2 is a thrift store Zara coat, which is good, but not so warm, so I layer up, with ponte jacket, Uniqlo padded jacket that folds up super small, with OTK navy boots with black back. Again, good for the commute. And a scarf with golds blacks and gold, another favourite scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>Photos 4 and 5 is a Boden top, from the sale, which I like the v-neck and puff to the sleeves, with a Hobbs jacket. The skirt is a high low hem, and I think is good for cold urban weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>The thing is I really like 1 and next Winter, this is what I want to aim for but in an Olive / kharki green. So a green coat, boots and bag - not all the same colour, but tonally working.&nbsp;If I trusted myself, to not change my mind, I would seek out bargains in the sale (accepting that I might need to let go of the aspiration to not shop until 27 March). My berry combination in 1 took 2 years to curate!&nbsp;</p> <p>Any comments welcome. Thank you for looking.&nbsp; </p>
