Love it! Sighing over the green.

You guys are just so awesome and giving, thanks for the great comments!

Pink, cobalt, purple - wonderful pairing ideas! Can't wait to try them. And I'm glad to hear the fit looks good.

MaryK - yeah, you're so right. The smile always tells us what the girl thinks of her outfit, a dead giveaway!

pil - maybe a temporary trade could be arranged, size twin!

Angie - yay! I have the sleeves tucked under in the photos, but I am going to have them professionally shortened to the length you see. Any shorter and my wrists would be chilled, no?

Rae - yep, it is very close to the Shoptoberfest coat, you have a great memory! Thanks for the professional help when I was searching.

Deborah - if you approve, I can't lose!

Kari - yep, it is really close to that TULLE coat, which made me really pleased. Glad to hear you dig it.

And to all who gave such wonderful props to my hubby, thank you for your kindness!

Yay for not settling! That really is a gorgeous shade of green on you. And a lovely fit too. My wool coat is yellow, I adore a happy color in the cold weather.

Love the color on you and the fit is great! I think wearing color in fall and winter is a good way to defy depressing weather and the dark. I'm always happy when I see people who are colorful dressed when it's all grey outside.

Green looks great on you.

That is a gorgeous coat on you! Way to go. Patience, persistence, and plucky shopping!!!

Kudos to you for finding the perfect coat! And that's a very happy shade of green, too.
