I ask because I doubt my ability to judge these things with any sort of objectivity. I have been known to buy things that don't fit, are unflattering, etc. simply because I fall in love with the idea of them...

You ladies have been keeping me on track and I really value your advice!

Keep keep! Gorgeous color, great fit. I have a similarly shaped coat and it works with EVERYthing. You can definitely wear this with wide leg pants.

So GORGEOUS on you! I am envious of your fur evening jacket and now this divine purple one!

Great color on you! And I really like the neckline too. I vote keep!
