Before this&nbsp;I'd only owned black&nbsp;leggings, so these were a bit outside my comfort zone, but I find myself reaching for them surprisingly often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1087837 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 06:31:18 +0000 Scarlet 1087837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute outfit. I really like how you wear the patterned leggings. It's so nice to have a warm new coat to keep you toasty and feeling fab when the weather turns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1087826 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 05:38:07 +0000 Dee 1087826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for bumping this back up with a late reply, but I finally got a chance to check the fourms today and I just&nbsp;wanted to say thanks to everyone for all your nice and&nbsp;thoughtful comments. It definitely makes we willing to do this again!</p> <p>It sounds like everyone agrees that the coat was a worthwhile buy, and it held up well in -15C weather today.&nbsp;I'd never heard of this brand before moving to Canada, but everything I've seen by them is lovely and I kind of want to buy all of their coats now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1087370 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:44:37 +0000 Shirley 1087370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations for first WIW.

For a long time I felt that "stylish" and "puffer" could never mix. But watching the forums here gave me hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086975 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 05:34:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1086975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your first WIW! Your leggings outfit looks cozy, and I love the boots. The new coat is awesome; the design is cool, and it fits you very nicely. I'm sure you're right, you'll get a lot of good out of it. You'll be stylish and warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086966 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 05:05:19 +0000 Dee 1086966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies for all your support! I guess posting a WIW is a lot&nbsp;like ripping off a bandaid - just get it over and done with. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm actually looking forward to the snow just so I can weat this coat regularly. I like the contrast between the&nbsp;netural colors with the color blocking. Fun, but not too loud. Exactly where I want my style to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086961 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:37:24 +0000 rae 1086961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, and FAB new coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086955 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:33:58 +0000 deb 1086955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea, your first WIW is over, now on to many more.

I have a hard time rocking that combo. And your leggings are too cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086924 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:05:56 +0000 Suz 1086924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of WIWs! It can be daunting to take the pics at first, but so much help over time.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your coat -- that is fabulous! What a terrific find. I am a sucker for dramatic collars like that. I also like your fun tights!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086923 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 04:05:32 +0000 peacechick 1086923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tunic and the leggings together, what a cozy combo! And the coat is a very nice take on the mixed media trend, sort of a cross of tweed and puffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086905 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:43:14 +0000 Parsley 1086905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee- good to see you in a WIW.<br />That is such a cool down coat! Love the tweed and color blocking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086893 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:30:44 +0000 Debora 1086893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your first WIW! Great casual look and perfect for a chilly day. Love your new coat! So cool with the contrast. I hope we get to see more of your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086872 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:02:40 +0000 E 1086872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool coat! I love tweed and had no idea you could get down tweed coats. It looks super warm. Your outfit seems so nice and cosy too: I love the texture and colour playing. And those are some rocking boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-with-new-coat#post-1086861 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:44:13 +0000 Dee 1086861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I'd finally bite the bullet and post my first&nbsp;WIW. I'm usually&nbsp;found weaing some variation of&nbsp;jeans and a cardigan, so this waist-surrendering tunic plus patterning&nbsp;leggings combo is a bit unusual for me.&nbsp;But it was&nbsp;super cozy for a day working in the lab and now a lazy evening at home.&nbsp;Sorry in advance for the bad lighting (hence the second, close up pic for color and pattern)!</p> <p>Also making its debut is the new down coat I picked up last weekend to replace one of my old winter coats which is now&nbsp;too big on me.&nbsp;I was hooked&nbsp;by the light, tweedy body and contrasting dark&nbsp;sleeves.&nbsp;And tomorrow is supposed to&nbsp;be snowy and well&nbsp;below freezing, so I expect it to get lots of wear in the near future.</p> <p>Tunic - Gap<br />Leggings - Athleta<br />Boots - Timberland<br />Coat - Soia and Kyo</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
