I was going to say water-PROOF should be non-negotiable in Atlanta. Plus, really it should fit over anything you might have on in the house. It looks better than utilitarian to me, very chic and will last for it's purpose for&nbsp;<i>ages</i>, without really dating. If hubs really wants you to have the red one too, tell him to box it up for Christmas. It's very pretty, just not as practical for walking the dog (and cat).&nbsp;</p> <p>I loved your story, and I'm so happy you are out of that air cast! Do a jig for me. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400556 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:43:40 +0000 carter 1400556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I think it's time to cut the tags on the black ll bean coat. The red one is great...just intended for a more stylish purpose.</p> <p>Firecracker...love the Dr Seuss reference. My title was going to be "One Shoe, Two Shoes. Red Coat, Black Coat." I figured everyone would decide I had lost my mind (even before they knew I took the cat on walks).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400424 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 04:00:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1400424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Carter! Two shoes--that's great news! (Your cat story apparently has me rhyming like Dr. Seuss. Such a fun story!)<br />I vote L. L. Bean for the functionality. I can't imagine buying a coat for dog-walking that you can't layer a sweatshirt under. In my dog-walking days, I liked to throw on a coat that could cover anything I happened to have on. The L. L. Bean one just sounds so comfy and handy, something you'll really want to pull on for those early walks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400413 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:26:05 +0000 Jaime 1400413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, maybe you should start a cat mini-series (9 Lives to Live?)! Boy those kitties know how to keep things interesting.<br />Anyway, congratulations on the foot progress. I like the black coat for the dog walking purpose. The black shoes look good too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400395 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 02:52:33 +0000 Anonymous 1400395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for two shoes! I like your outfits too, especially the way you tied the scarf in the first one.</p> <p>I was going to vote for the red coat just because the color seems more fun, but it sounds like the black has it beat on practicality.</p> <p>Love the cat story too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400320 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 00:07:38 +0000 jackiec 1400320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your cat story is the BEST!!! Super cute!&nbsp;</p> <p>And YAY for getting the aircast off and moving into shoes. You are looking great.</p> <p>Honestly, before I read through the posts, my choice was the black coat. Sounds like it's super useful, and personally I like it on you a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400274 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 22:46:08 +0000 crutcher 1400274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, carter, you know which coat I was immediately drawn to...the black one...The lines carry so well down to your black shoes and you look like very chic...Remember to smile as you walk both the&nbsp;dog and cat...By the way, those shoes are just so fine..I had to smile at how good you look with both shoes, both black shoes and a black coat...I am also doing a happy dance that you have the cast off...Celebrate the steps you are making...celebrate today...<br />Your ice storm story with the cats would make a delightful children's book...I love how they came, cuddled and one by one left for other things...Except the orange cat who made a friend of Izzy...delightful...<br />Smiling....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400251 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 22:24:15 +0000 carter 1400251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red coat is far cuter. I totally agree. It works for a cold, dry walk. It also works for non-dog parts of life...errands, work, play, etc. Downsides for me: even though it's washable, I'd pout if I had to wash it every time I went to the dog park (all the dogs jump from lap to lap when they get tired of playing tag). The lack of hood and being unclear whether or not it is waterproof is also less than I would like. The inside pocket is also not at all secure for phone or keys.</p> <p>The black one is far more utilitarian than cute. It is not something I would wear outside of dog stuff, except maybe to a cold, wet football game. However, I think it checks all the boxes...it has a hood, it's waterproof, it is super warm AND super light, it fits over a loungewear hoodie, it has 4 secure pockets, the darker color means fewer washings, and finally, I think the thicker material will stand up better to doggie toenails at the park.</p> <p>My husband thinks I should get the red one because it looks better and just not do the dirty/wet stuff. To me, if I'm going to get something that doesn't meet the dirty/wet needs, I may as well just wear something I have.</p> <p>Have my ugly sneakers sent me over the edge into function over form land? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400235 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:54:47 +0000 KikiG 1400235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black, due to the hood, because a leash and an umbrella are Bad. &nbsp;But if you don't ever dog-walk in the rain, the red is glorious. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400231 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:50:15 +0000 Beth Ann 1400231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote for coat?&nbsp; One that is visible on the road!&nbsp; I'm thinking the black coat is more practical with the hood -- unless rain isn't often an issues in your more desert-like climate.&nbsp; </p> <p>What about walking with some sort of reflective band or light, even in dreary daylight?&nbsp; I'm just thinking about those cuhrazy suburban mom drivers!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400211 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:09:14 +0000 Aquamarine 1400211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both coats on you, with a slight preference for the black because of the hood and the length. It looks more flattering to my eye. Red, however, is so cheery in the winter. I have a red puffer and default to it as much as possible because I get so tired of my black coats in the winter.</p> <p>Congrats on shedding the cast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400206 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 21:05:20 +0000 Classically Casual 1400206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for a return to your daily routines!! I like both coats, with a bias for the hooded one. One other thought...what about visibility for dodging cars? If that is an issue, than the black one wouldn't be good this time of the year.</p> <p>Love the kitty story, and Izzy is adorable.</p> <p>There used to be some good dog walking capsules here on the forum. If I can find them, I'll add them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400179 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:30:29 +0000 Astrid 1400179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for wearing two shoes! I think they look fine. I'm voting the black coat because of the hood and because it seems to go over everything. For dog walking purposes I'd go for practicality. Oh and I love your kitty story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400175 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 20:06:11 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1400175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point re the hood: if I did winter dog walking in my parts a hood would be mandatory, because I wouldn't want to mess with an umbrella, and winter here means rain (at least when we're not in a horrible drought). I don't know how much rain y'all get in Atlanta, though... Honestly, both seem nice and fit well; they're just suited for slightly different weather conditions. The black is good for rain and wind; the red is good for colder and snow on the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400159 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 19:08:59 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1400159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red one but the black is fine too. And I have clothes that I buy particularly for dog walking purposes. Lulu Lemon used to make dog walking pants, which I loved the idea of, but they did not fit me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400158 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 19:04:08 +0000 Gracie 1400158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black one because of The Hood (I Love Hoods, I don't "do" umbrellas) and the ease of movement it provides and it looks softer, more dynamic.&nbsp; Great news about your being able to wear two proper shoes and run around all anew, congratulations!&nbsp; Chuckling at your providing the love nest for the kitties to be born in. The orange kitty is fluffy-gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400151 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:55:55 +0000 catgirl 1400151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red coat FTW! Am okay with both shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400144 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:46:40 +0000 carter 1400144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, good point about the pockets. The red coat has zippered hand pockets plus an internal velcroed sideways chest pocket (not really secure). The black coat has zippered hand pockets, a zippered exterior chest pocket and an internal zippered chest pocket (all secure).</p> <p>Holding off on my thoughts for now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400141 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:36:07 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1400141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on getting the boot off! I suspect the black coat would be more practical for rain, but the red coat is more fun to my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400125 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:20:39 +0000 Anonymous 1400125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Two shoes! As far as the coat, I like the look of either for dog walking. The red is my favorite based on looks.<br /> Pay attention to the pockets because you may want to carry doggy stuff, gloves, tissues, your phone. My favorite coats for dog walking have a chest internal pocket where I put my phone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400121 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:15:32 +0000 Sveta 1400121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your kitty story is adorable! <br />For the style I much prefer the red coat to the black one - but the hood beats the style on practicality level for me. <br />Hooray for real shoes and THE FREEDOM! LOL for chores vs excitement - this is so true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-two-shoes-and-which-coat-to-keep#post-1400114 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:58:20 +0000 carter 1400114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p>
