Shopping input: **Updated** - YouLookFab Forum

Thought I'd ask the forum if anyone has tried or has thoughts on these two items. I can't add finds for some reason but here are the links. I'm considering the Aquatalia but the review say they run small. I like the navy or the anthracite. The faux fur coat I just can't stop looking at. It is too much, isn't it? I love the long coat that Angie has in finds but I've never had a long coat and I'm wondering if I'd wear it...

**update**
The booties are lovely and perfect in my regular size—in the foot and the ankle. I can see how they could become a bit slouchy but I’m not sure that’s a deal breaker. Love the blue suede!

The jacket is gorgeous! The colors couldn’t be any more perfect for me. It’s quite a statement, don’t you think? I actually love it though. Feel free to talk me out of it!

I don't think that stunning faux fur coat is too much, Kellygirl. In fact, I think it could be very versatile. I had a pair of Aquatalia shoes and i did size up because they felt a bit tight on my feet, which are medium in width.

that coat is fabulous ,ld buy it at once if I was you!

That faux fur jacket is SO fun! I could see it looking so cool with your boot collection.

So I have a faux fur that I’m afraid to wear here in the Bay Area. I’m convinced I’m gonna be jumped by PETA or something. I’ve decide tho that I’m gonna wear it for Christmas family dinner. We do a family walk, but I think Mark Zuckerberg will stay behind his gate...

You would look amazing in the faux fur with those colors. Get it.

Thanks, Fabbers! I ordered it just to try. It wasn’t available in store. I was able to try the long coat which just swamped me. TTS if anyone is interested. (The small was fine for me.) Also sharing my new cropped wide legs—which I hacked myself.

Oh man. I like that cost even if it is big. I’m now chanting to myself *I don’t need another coat.*

Ooh! That is a fabulous coat. I’m hoping the proper size works. GREAT hack job on the jeans. Raw hem is my most favourite trend, and every one in my closet was a hack I did myself. Turned so-so serviceable jeans to favourites that eventually got worn until they were worn out.

Great jeans hack! Agree the coat is swamping you in the photo, but in principle it is fabulous. Waiting to see how the one you ordered works!

Kathie

FWIW, I really like the plaid coat on you. It doesn't look like it swamps you.The faux fur to to die for, though. Those colors are so perfectly you. Fingers crossed that it works out.

Aquamarine

That faux fur! So awesome! Hope it works so I can enjoy it vicariously!

I have several pairs of Aquatalia and find them to run true to size, but I have a narrow foot.

Laura

Too bad the coat is so voluminous, it's gorgeous! And well done with the self-hacking

Aquatalias are a winner for what Angie would call a low-volume foot. I don't know if they run small, but they run low-volume, if that makes any sense at all. I have a similar pair from a couple of years ago with a square toe, and they are great boots. I'm a 6.5 and I took a 7 (I always size up in boots), and they fit perfectly.

Thank you! I have a pair of Aquatalias--probably 5 years old in my usual size. They fit perfectly--albeit without socks. I'm trying the navy in the sock bootie--we will see. Navy has been on my wish list along with something less stompy and more refined. Two birds with one stone, perhaps!

I think the Tilly will be an updated version of the Carie I got a few years ago. I wear mine a lot. The only problem is that the ankles do "sag" a bit on me. They work anyway. Versatile, elegant, and practical.

I actually love the coat on you. I don't think it swamps you -- it's a long coat. Looks like it fits in the shoulders. I really like it a lot!

Thanks, Suz! I remember the Carie--I think. I thought this boot was the same with a new name. Thanks for the feedback on the coat--it's just too much for me in my climate and probably too warm and cumbersome. It will be great for someone else though--it really is gorgeous!!

(All right... *coat* not *cost*... drat you spellcheck!)

I love the faux fur jacket, It reminds me of a fur jacket I had back in the late 1970s it's perfect for the vintage seventies look that is coming back in style right now. The ankle boots are a classic go to style that will work with lots of outfits for years to come.

Yes to the faux fur- great colors!

Bijou

I hope the faux fur works out. My faux fur jackets were my most worn jackets this winter. The one you have picked is lovely. I like the check coat although it does look too big on you.

Janet

I love that faux fur on you. I’d be tempted myself if I didn’t already have too many coats and jackets!

The long one is very cool but might swamp you just a bit and doesn’t seem as practical for your climate.

Love the coat, and great hack job on the jeans.

Santa came early. It’s going to be hard to put these under the tree when I want to wear them now. Haha!

Sal

Pleased you got the faux fur - it is fun and I think you will wear it a lot.

Talk you out of it? You must be joking. That is a gorgeous jacket on you! I think you will enjoy the booties, too. My similar Aquatalias also slouch a bit but they don't fall down.

Karie

Love, love, love the faux fur coat! And the boots are gorgeous, too!

The faux fur look fantastic on you! As do the flares and wide cut jeans, btw.

It’s even better than I thought it would be. Definitely not going to talk you out of it!

Windchime

I hope Santa dropped off the faux fur coat; it is so fab on you! The long plaid coat is elegant on you. Now you’ve got me thinking about trying it...

slim cat

Fun fur coat - fits great! Maybe it's a wild card that will become part of the favorite out outfit of the season. Cute booties .
