It is so flattering. I love the matchy matchy with the dress and bag, awesome. I also really love the shoes in the first couple of pics. I would like them for dancing, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-623757 Sat, 19 May 2012 08:36:10 +0000 goldenpig 623757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the input!

I LOVE that trench, but especially with the outfit with the All Black pumps, jeans, and the striped tee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-621815 Thu, 17 May 2012 02:47:13 +0000 Fruitful 621815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, this coat is so you it's insane.

Heh heh heh!</p> <p>I really love your items, too. I think that between the black trim and the true black/white patter peeking out, you are set. The bag is my favorite of all... such a gorgeous graphic b/w option! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-621266 Wed, 16 May 2012 16:55:31 +0000 Anonymous 621266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG gosh, no, don't order the 4. I think you will be more comfortable in this size. I am one to NEVER oversize coats since I have a very, very narrow torso. I am starting to think I did a disservice by bringing it up. Enjoy it as is, it is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-621258 Wed, 16 May 2012 16:48:55 +0000 Jonesy 621258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coat is fab! Ditto the dress and bag! Maybe you and hubby should play weekly games of horse on the basketball court :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-621105 Wed, 16 May 2012 14:30:49 +0000 ironkurtin 621105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take it to a good tailor!

The SA's were telling me to size up because everyone was complaining the shoulders were too tight. They didn't have a 4 to try. I'm not sure where I could find one because the local KS shipped theirs to outlet. I suppose I could try ordering a 4 as well, but it's final sale so it would be really tough to return. I still think with my apple and broad torso (I'm 32DD and waist 31) that I should probably stick to a 6 to give my chest/belly some room to breathe.</p> <p>Haha JJ and Alicat, I'll tell you a funny story...just the other day we were at the park and DH is shooting baskets (he's been practicing a lot) and he hands me the ball and said, "Let's make a bet--if you can make this shot (from the free throw line) in one try, what do you want?" And I said "500 bucks!" He said, "Deal." (Because he didn't think I would make it--I am not good at basketball and don't practice like him). And I threw the ball and sank the shot! Swish! Just the exact amount to cover the coat and bag! So he is not allowed to complain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620992 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:15:21 +0000 Anonymous 620992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything! I admit this all makes me nervous about your hubby's reaction. Will he have a stroke? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620950 Wed, 16 May 2012 10:14:51 +0000 Anonymous 620950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, I don't think we are the same size. I'm 5"8", about 150 ish and size 6-8. Much bigger! I am more of an pear with a high hip. but my frame is rather small and only a B cup. I think that is why I fit on the 6, plus I think I generally buy my clothes much more fitted than yours. I guess we have proven that I look weird in anything not tailored :(<br /> Also, as Girl X explained to me, I think the fact that there are no shoulder seams, makes the sizing pretty flexible and as I said, I have very little layering room. I could accommodate a sweater, but not a blazer. I had to have gone up to an 8, for me to do that. I ordered and compared both sizes. I was much happier with the 6 on me.I tend to look better in sharp, ultra tailored garments.<br /> I do not mean to add confusion, the fit is looser but still really, really nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620938 Wed, 16 May 2012 09:57:05 +0000 Jjsloane 620938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it makes you happy and doesn't send your DH into a rage go for it. I would be curious to see the smaller size on you after comparing the GirlX and Zap versions, but it may just be the body type difference (we apples and the double breasted struggle some don't we?) Possibly you could move the buttons a little to snug it up a bit at the top? It looks perfect from the side and no worries on the color for you. It totally works with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620908 Wed, 16 May 2012 05:59:00 +0000 Kiwichik 620908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh please, please, keep. I think the trench looks fine with your skin colour and the dress and matching bag are divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620897 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:53:31 +0000 goldenpig 620897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowee! Thanks everyone! I'm so glad you guys like the trench on me! What a relief! I was worried I had made an expensive mistake. </p> <p>Thanks for putting your pic back up, Zap. Have you worn it out IRL yet? What size clothes are you normally? Are we the same size? (I'm 130 lb 5'5" size 4-6). Maybe I should/could have squeezed into a 4 for a sleeker look, but then maybe I might not be able to move my arms. Now I remember why I was so worried about soul sucking beige--in your thread Angie said that she tried the trench on and it was SSB on her.</p> <p>I found GirlX's thread with her pics:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kate-spade-trench---love-love-love" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-love-love</a><br /> In her pics the trench looks very white/cream. To me the trench has a definite yellowish beige cast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620851 Wed, 16 May 2012 02:11:57 +0000 velvetychocolate 620851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see 'soul-sucking beige' at all either - beautiful coat on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620847 Wed, 16 May 2012 02:08:18 +0000 CocoLion 620847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep.

I have to say YAY even though all together it may be a bit extreme for me lol.<br /> I do love how you styled it all independently though. </p> <p>Not soul sucking beige but if it worries you, this is the chance to pull out the makeup and pop a teeny color on cheeks and lips. </p> <p>It looks great and you can always go back to SYB next month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620816 Wed, 16 May 2012 01:37:54 +0000 Girl X 620816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I think the colour/tone of the trench works wonderfully with your skin tone, not soul sucking at all, you look vibrant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620807 Wed, 16 May 2012 01:29:40 +0000 Echo 620807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, LOVE these items! It is beyond cute how the trench lining matches the dress and matches the handbag! Maybe not all together, but what an unexpected suprise to have your coat lining match your bag. I think the coat is great on you, and if you ever are worried about how the beige looks next to your face, the red underneath or a scarf at the neck will completely change the look (although I do not think the coat is unflattering by itself). And those are the cutest shoes, too, in #8 - #11. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620801 Wed, 16 May 2012 01:27:39 +0000 Anonymous 620801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you are so cute! I forgot all about your SSB worries until the end of the pictures. It really looks like a pretty cream to me, and your skin looks beautifully rosy in it! Love the matching bag, too.

I've been dying to see your WIW pics and you hid the pic in your other thread.</p> <p>I got a size 6. They did not have a size 4 but I think my arms and shoulders would have been too restricted in the 4. As it is, the 6 feels a tiny bit snug around the torso (not restrictive, but snug). Maybe my arms are skinny but my shoulders/torso are broader? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-514-and-kr-kate-spade-topliner-trench-and-matching-floral-bag#post-620768 Wed, 16 May 2012 01:09:37 +0000 Anonymous 620768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You crazy woman!!!<br /> I LOVE<br /> (((Zap just died)))<br /> ETA: What size did you get?
