Get the coat, Suz -- you look so alive in it! It's beautiful with both skin and hair color.

It's a great coat for the West Coast. Get it!

The blue one UmmLila is suggesting is gorgeous - it's a top pick - but will be too long for you.

Look at Boden's cocoon coats too.

A little (more) length never hurts, I say go with it Suz, it is such a great color, suits you so well, and perfect fit, wow!:-))

Did you buy that coat yet, Suz?

(It's lovely on you)

Perfect color, absolutely perfect!

The color is divine on you. Let us know if you need more reasons to get it. Bet we can come up with them.

The force is strong with this one...BUT the color is so beautiful on you! It looks great with your handbag and your phone case. Two good reasons to buy, no?

I love that coat, Suz. Both the colour and the style are stunning on you.
I can see that this may be a battle between head and heart!

Great coat! Could you shorten it to the length you want? The zipper will have to be replaced, I know. And make sure there is no conflict with the pockets.

I do love that lilac coat Suz. Do let us know what you decide.

OH my goodness, I love this! The neckline with your hair is amazing. And the colour is divine.

Okay, so it was 40% off and I couldn't resist. Bought it today. There is no more lilac on the website so I knew it was now or never.

Thanks for enabling.

I know it will give me great pleasure, particularly in March and April when it remains cold but the light returns.

I had it on in the store and at least 10 people came up to me to compliment me on it. That usually tells you something, right? I figured it would be silly to leave it. The last time that happened with a coat it was my beloved colour-block (navy/ black) VC military style pea coat (which I love but which is looking very tired after five years of very hard wear.) Anyway, that one quickly became my most used coat, so I figure this one will also get a lot of wear. There is room for many coats in my life, given my climate.

Omg, so glad you got this. That color makes you glow. SO pretty!

I'm glad you got the coat! I've seen it in person, the color is gorgeous and the quality is excellent.

I love that coat on you, I am glad you bought it.

So glad you got it! The colour is stunning on you and --to my eye anyway-- that is the perfect shape and length cost for your petite figure. I love it!

I covet your wardrobe!
This coat looks great with your Aquatalias too!

I'm glad you got it, especially on a huge markdown. It looks wonderful on you.

BTW, I got my Aquitalia boots and they fit! I plan to wear them this weekend.

JAileen - that is fabulous about the boots! And thanks everyone for the kind words. It really is a magical colour and I clearly need to get more of it in my wardrobe!

Fantastic, Suz!! So glad you got the coat (and great discount). Now we are lilac coat twins!-)

Oh, I'm glad I checked back, and that you got this coat!

I am so tempted by that blue coat Lisa posted...

Yay! So glad you got it. I will live vicariously through you , it is such a beautiful piece.

I'm so glad you got it, Suz, and I'm not at all surprised that it garnered so many compliments in the store. It's great that you got such a good discount, too. That coat was meant to be yours. Enjoy!

I'm so glad that you did not let this one get away. You need an extensive and varied coat wardrobe.

I love hearing what the final decision was. I am glad you decided to keep this coat. It looked like it was made for you.

I didn't chime in earlier but I am pleased you added this in. It is a lovely colour and because it is unusual - it won't date... I think you will enjoy wearing this for some years especially from February to April when you want spring to arrive.

Mmmmm---PRETTY!

*happy dance*

Now all you need to do is move to the West Coast SOON.

Excellent!

So glad you bought it. It looks very pretty on you. Bonus points for being warm!
