50&S - I have never seen that show but my sister did the "shut up" imitation for me and assured me it was a major compliment.
Angie -- woo hoo, KILLER means a lot to me, especially since I really love this coat. Killer AND sophisticated has made my day.
LH - a brooch is a great idea! Or maybe one of my flower pins...
Debora - we clearly have the same taste in coats.
San - can't wait to see it on you!
Marianne - yes, this is CK's 2P. I often find the sleeves too short on petites (monkey arms) but these are a generous length and I think I will leave them this length for warmth.
CC - the gloves have a patent cuff around the wrist that I found quite edgy (and surprising for Target). I got them too late to wear them last year but am now ready for the cold weather - if it ever arrives again...
