You look fantastic in that color and the shape is beautiful! I'm so glad you got it. I also think that your makeup is lovely and I love your children's responses. Too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1703291 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 02:32:55 +0000 Nishaa 1703291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great... After having a black, charcoal and beige for years, last year I broke down and bought a burgundy coat end of season. Didn't get to wear much but... Waiting for fall/winter.</p> <p>Ummm... If you'd enlighten me what's HEWI? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702979 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:50:45 +0000 Sal 1702979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Gigi- I was the same! Two old coats, one very worn and outdated, and one vintage. I imagine coats are well worn in your part of the world although they are costly everywhere.<br /> Thanks Rachy.<br /> Helen- ah swimsuits!!!! That's another can of worms. And the makeup was heavier than usual, esp for day. The boys are pretty oblivious to fashion so I was surprised they even noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702610 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:44:48 +0000 Helen11 1702610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I like the new make-up look, too. &nbsp;I'm thinking it's a bit more than your boys are used to seeing on you? &nbsp;Is it a look you'll do again for more dressed-up occasions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702609 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:43:00 +0000 Helen11 1702609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous colour! &nbsp;Good for you for holding out and knowing the right one when you saw it. &nbsp;Enjoy wearing it for the rest of the winter. It will add beautiful rich colour in amongst all the black and grey.<br />Summer is coming....the new season togs (oh, alright, swimwear) were on display in one of the chain stores today : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702479 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 04:08:28 +0000 rachylou 1702479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702478 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 04:06:32 +0000 Gigi 1702478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat! The color looks wonderful on you.</p> <p>I have been wearing the same two coats for quite a few years now. I am thankful that they are still in quite good condition, but I am SO TIRED of them. I need to go coat shopping myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702375 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 01:21:17 +0000 Sal 1702375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all....thanks for the reinforcement. &nbsp;Not that returning was an option or even considered as it is a seven hour drive (or one hour flight!)</p> <p>Thanks <b>Alexandra, RobinF, Suz, Meredith, Diane, Lyn, Sally, Summer, Maneera, Susie, Joy, Lisa, Angie, Alaskagirl, Shedev, Texstyle, Merwoman, Brie, Cerinda</b>....you are all lovely!!</p> <p><b>Skylurker</b> - the colour on the label says Kingfisher, and it is the colour of their plumage. &nbsp;And the fabric is 20% cashmere, 70 % merino and 10% polyester. &nbsp;NZ does grow a lot of merino - but I am not sure what sort of fabrics are milled here now. &nbsp;And believe me you are a better fashion judge than the 11 year old!!</p> <p><b>Jenn</b> - I could share a picture of my view today and you would no longer be jealous. &nbsp;Rain rain rain for four days. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lucy</b> - that was how I felt, there is so much black here in winter and wool coats on me quickly collect blonde hairs and can look a little scruffy. &nbsp;Not much call for wool coats in Brisbane.</p> <p><b>Penny </b>- yes reds might work. &nbsp;I only really have red and pink tops anyway which will be hidden.</p> <p>I am definitely going to enjoy wearing this and since I am a summer/spring lover it will make winters more bearable. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased/page/2#post-1702275 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 22:54:54 +0000 Alexandra 1702275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous coat! In every way - the color, the silhouette, the shape of the collar... just beautiful. Good job on the HEWI! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1702245 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 22:08:00 +0000 Lyn D. 1702245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love It!<br />Teal is fantastic on you, and Yay for holding out for a non-black coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1702085 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 18:54:17 +0000 Angie 1702085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Stunning coat, and beautiful all round.

This is just right!</p> <p>Your scenery is gorgeous. You're making me miss cool weather. (Not that that's terribly hard. Stupid summer.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701952 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:39:17 +0000 Susie 1701952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others that this is definitely a fab choice! The color is gorgeous on you and the style is statementy enough to be special yet not so much that you would quickly tire of it. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701930 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 15:08:04 +0000 Cerinda 1701930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a 10! Congrats.

I ADORE the colour. Just fabulous. And the cut is so swingy, it will never date.<br /> I understand the discomfort in spending so much on a dressy coat, but it seems there is no low-cost option.<br /> I'm so happy you waited for just the right thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701888 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:14:40 +0000 texstyle 1701888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat on you - love the color and style, definitely worth the wait.

Teal is such an incredibly flattering colour, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701882 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 14:00:28 +0000 BrieN 1701882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done.

What a beautiful and smart colour for you. It's elegant, fun, and fresh.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lovely photos, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701852 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 12:47:44 +0000 Lucy 1701852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, it is perfect. I adore a bolder coat in winter, because of all the black, navy and grey! I've had a few and they seem surprisingly versatile (not much call for coats in Brisbane, after moving though!!)<br />&nbsp;The colour is lovely on you, and the fit looks beautiful. Nice job.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701850 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 12:47:09 +0000 Meredith 1701850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

And I thought it was an island mainly populated with sheep ? ;)</p> <p>Thanks for sharing the pictures, so soothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--hewi-purchased#post-1701817 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 11:18:15 +0000 Maneera 1701817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that's a fabulous coat!!!! Honestly - I think it's just AMAZING on you. The color, cut &amp; fit flatter you beautifully and it looks really great when worn with black.
