Such a great colour on you and the underneath top, cardi and jeans look relaxed and stylish.

Love your fabric choice it's so 'you'. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929356 Fri, 10 May 2013 06:02:25 +0000 AJ 929356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Red trench coats are always FAB.&nbsp; I LUV that blouse you made in #3.&nbsp; You are so talented! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929299 Fri, 10 May 2013 04:03:48 +0000 rachylou 929299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG!

I wanted to show the back of the coat, but my camera didn't cooperate this morning. It has a belt across the back.

Though perhaps the soft colors are elegant in a way.<br /><br />Alicat and Pil, thanks for validating the purple bag with the coat!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929161 Fri, 10 May 2013 00:58:43 +0000 Jaime 929161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench is great and I love the shirt you made in #3 - all three looks are excellent! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929159 Fri, 10 May 2013 00:51:55 +0000 pil 929159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharp trench Firecracker, I love the purple bag with it.

A happy colour for our grey mornings. <br /><br />And #2 and #3 are equally gorgeous looks. One a little more casual than the other. Both k-word worthy! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929057 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:50:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 929057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 is my favourite too - very elegant. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-929018 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:56:31 +0000 Day Vies 929018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow -- I love a red coat and this one is no exception.

That is so great.&nbsp; Very pretty and I love the fabric you chose and the drape. You have great style and seem to just do it so naturally. I also enjoy your wiws. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-928991 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:05:58 +0000 Ingunn 928991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trench is beautiful.

I was surprised myself that I liked them together, because they seem different styles. I'm finding the metallic flats go with so many things I wouldn't have expected.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-928941 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:13:13 +0000 Anonymous 928941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great coat, and I love the second outfit!

It is a great color on you! I really like the unbelted style.The neutral outfit underneath it is perfect too. The faded blue jeans with the two tone oxfords is relaxed and stylish.&nbsp;&nbsp;And of course, I DIE over your blouse in 4. Drapey perfection Ms. Fisher-Firecracker. What a gorgeous color and print. It is simply divine with those olive pants. I love how the cap toe shoes pick up the metallic on the belt (unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.) You certainly have your own style down. You know exactly what kind of top is flattering and your eye for fabrics and color is spot on! Always a treat to see your WIW's! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-928894 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:11:29 +0000 Vicki 928894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that coat in 1 and your cute shoes in 2 and then those beautiful colors in your work outfit in 3. Looks like a painting. </p> You really wear slouchy pants well. </p> <p>I think the bright color of your coat is just what the weatherZc ordered for happiness. Great looks, Firecracker! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-days-of-color#post-928892 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:07:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 928892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here are a couple of outfits this week, featuring some spring-y colors. <br /><br />Today's outfit for hanging out at home and then getting my hair cut later:<br /><br />1: New spring coat, the Christine Trench from Eddie Bauer, in a color called shrimp; boyfriend jeans (Eddie Bauer), heeled oxfords (Fidji), purple bag (Kate Spade)<br />2: what I'm wearing underneath: bf jeans and oxfords, plus very pale lavender tee with a long shirt-tail hem and extra-long sleeves (Fluxus), oatmeal 3/4 sleeved cardi (Halogen), metallic floral belt (Fossil)<br />3: Monday's work outfit: gray-green slouchy ankle pants (Annette Goertz), rayon batik cap-sleeve drape-neck top in vivid blues and muted greens (made by me), cement-colored wide belt (Annette Goertz), pewter and taupe metallic flats (AGL)<br /><br />What do you think of the new trench coat?
