Mochi, the raincoat is an Israeli boutique brand bought second hand, but check out their site - you might like some of their looks:<br /> <a href="http://www.comme-il-faut.com/fashion" rel="nofollow">http://www.comme-il-faut.com/fashion</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-799323 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 02:37:09 +0000 Deborah 799323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia I really like these combinations. You wear this look with real integrity. AND you have changed my thinking on baggier jeans tucked into boots, it really does look quite fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-799108 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 20:48:17 +0000 Caro in Oz 799108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all the outfits are great (love the white pieces, they really suit you imo). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798916 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:32:21 +0000 Angie 798916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We like to give our hubbys kicks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798885 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:00:13 +0000 ironkurtin 798885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798871 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:40:24 +0000 Kat 798871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, your curls and your smile are amazing!! How could you not look wonderful? I, too, love the #2 outfit...and agree that the slouchier pant with the boot is great on you. I think the asymmetric zipper is a terrific detail on your coat and that it would look great either unzipped or belted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798855 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:28:13 +0000 Mochi 798855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so envy you as Queen Thrown Together Elegant Tomboy! </p> <p>I like this look just fine. It's great and looks stylish and unfussy. </p> <p>What brand of raincoat is that in the third pic? I seriously love the cut and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798848 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:23:55 +0000 Tina.b 798848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that coat, the asymmetrical closure just gives it that fresh, modern detail. I would wear it belted or completely unzipped. Beautiful boots too. Wonderful casual outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798840 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:17:35 +0000 Jaime 798840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! The raincoat might not be super flattering but I like it and it fits well over another jacket, but I will try to at least buckle it. </p> <p>Ceit I think seeing your outfits gave me the idea that this might work, thanks for the support! Manidipa thanks! The bag is coated leather so it is not damaged by water - at least not yet. Shannon, thanks, your comments always make me smile. Angie, you are too sweet! I will think of myself as Queen Thrown Together for short - my husband will get a kick out of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798825 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 15:01:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 798825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is all kinds of fab on you Shevia! And the pants and boots look just fine together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798819 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:56:43 +0000 ManidipaM 798819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I WISH I looked this charming and comfortable on a rainy day! Curious: is that bag waterproof too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798814 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:51:34 +0000 Anonymous 798814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big supporter of baggier jeans in boots too -- I think it looks fine! The jacket looks neat too, I like it belted also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798812 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:49:28 +0000 Angie 798812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More coincidental military jacket talk!</p> <p>FWIW Shevia, I really like the look of pants and jeans bagging over tall boots. It's a fresh take on the vibe. No need to stick to a sleeker look on my account. </p> <p>#2 epitomizes your style and you wear it like no other. Queen Thrown Together Elegant Tomboy :)</p> <p>I do prefer the raincoat belted because of the off centre zipper. You are cute and huggable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---military-style-raincoat-with-questions#post-798780 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:13:33 +0000 Jaime 798780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't thrilled with either of these outfits, but in light of today's post I will post them with some questions.</p> <p>Common to both is my rain capsule: military raincoat in some sort of neutral color,and tall boots. </p> <p>In #1 and #2 I wore the raincoat over plaid wool 3/4 pants (sorry about the lack of detail), white shirt and jacket. We took the kids to a production of Rumpelstiltskin during Hanukkah and I wanted to be warm inside and dry outside. </p> <p>#3 is a more casual day out doing errands. I am wearing light wash jeans and an old Zara cotton sweater that needs to be replaced - possibly with the Gap YLF sweater, although that one might swamp my neck.</p> <p>In both cases the pants bag a lot over the boots. Should I stick to more fitted bottoms? I usually shy away from belted coats, does it work undone and/or sort of done as shown? Suggestions and comments welcome, thanks! </p>
