Wiw, AND the BUBBLEGUM Coat - YouLookFab Forum

I love shocking pink, and didn't own or play with Barbies. I ate pink bubblegum when my Mama wasn't around since this was a taboo thing growing up. Rebelliously, I bat for Team Bubblegum!

Have had a mid-tone pink coat on my shopping list for years. Went for shocking pink instead. More me anyway. The correct colour is less purple than my pics. But brighter and darker than the stock photo.

LOVE IT SOOO MUCH! MEGA happiness-factor! I hope the quality holds up the way I want it to. Only one way to find out....

The matching pink tortoiseshell buttons are delicious and a chic detail. The long length and simple modern classic silhouette are perfect-for-me. It's a wool blend, so not scratchy. (Yes! I can layer my knitwear and thermals comfortably underneath).

SIDE ENTRY POCKET FABNESS.

The coat is NOT styled. I popped it over today's Summer outfit so that you can see it - and so that I can prance around in it despite the 30C heat

Good match with NAS Kate Spade Bag and Jo's collar.

The citron outfit is what I'm wearing today - with the new NAS Vionic loafers and KS bag. Go Team Wear! Soooooo keeping the loafers. Supportive, comfy, dainty, modern classic, versatile, "my look", and $90. Too good a match to pass up.

Thanks, Roberta! Impressed with Sam Edelman and the button detailing, I tell you. Puts some designer merchandise to shame

Hi Barbie

Looks great on you , and now I’m regretting passing on my vintage Kate Spade ( when she was alive and actually ran the company ) pink bag and my pebbled leather hot pink Roots bag from 20 yrs ago . I should really never get rid of anything .

Jules

WOW!

LJP, you have to be in the mood for shocking pink, I guess! You weren't when you passed on the items, but you can sport the nails instead! That looked fab on you.

Jules, thanks!

Suz

Gorgeous on you and so much fun!! Love how it matches Jo's collar. That is just a spectacular colour for you. Amazing.

Also, the Zara two piece is looking wonderful as well!

Angie electric fab! I’m starting to feel pink again indeed

Karie

Sweet sister! That bubblegum pink coat is ultra fabulous on you!

Star

Just gorgeous! All round. Tell me Angie, is a coat like that warm enough all winter? It gets so cold here I have to zip up to my chin. I saw a similar locally made coat last year year, one in hot pink and one in grass green. I am concerned about the warm enough factor.

Your looks always make me smile. Such cheery, vibrant colors. If they have this effect on me, I can only imagine how fab you must feel wearing them. Beautiful!! And so inspiring!!

delurked

Love this for you, and I can see it working into your existing wardrobe very well. It would be really nice with some of the blues/turq you own as well, plus many of the other brights that make you so happy.

Sal

Stunning Angie! These look like sure fire winners for you!!

RobinF

Such a pretty color combo! And just fabulous with the almost-matching bag! Love it!

Love the coat…you may sway me from my puffers.

This whole outfit has matchy matchy me swooning. The pink coat is TDF. And sooooo good with the pink bag. And the coord, love.

But the sunglasses, wow, love

Eliza

Winning! Happy summer day.

Thanks ever so much for the kind words!

Suz, the coat was meant to be, since I have to match Jo's collar - and I'm soooooo enjoying my Summer Zara stash.

Rachy, we will make a Barbie out of you yet!

delurked, dead right on the colours! Fab with my Winter creams, oatmeals and navy too. Versatile-for-me.

Karie and ANewMindSet, that is high praise, and I'm blushing.

Sal, Eliza, and RobinF, appreciate the kind and supportive words.

bj1111, you crack me up. For the record, I LOVE my short puffers. I bat for Team Puffer with you!

kkards, your swooning makes me smile, and please live!

Star, I totally get your concern! Some wool coats aren't warm at all, and others are VERY warm. This type of wool coat is sufficiently warm because it's long and quite heavy. I also wear a double-wrapped cashmere scarf, beanie, gloves, and thermals for further insulation. AND warm knitwear and boots. The scarf and hat keep me especially toasty warm as I charge around outside with doggies and errand bags in tow.

I have a wool coat with thermal thinsulate lining that is VERY insulating. That I break out when it's much colder. For snow and ice. Or my long shearing coat, and arctic puffer. My short puffers are warm too.

I loathe feeling cold, so I must make sure I'm warm. Sounds like you can relate

Irina

You are one bright woman! Fabulous!

Laura

The three buttons on the cuffs are such a gorgeous detail! The pink coat is a winner for sure and suits you in every possible way. Now I can’t wait to see the hat, scarf and gloves you pair with it!

Jaime

The coat is even better on you than in the stock photos - not that I am surprised! Love that you wore the pink bag with the citron and that Jo wore her pink collar to match!

Janet

So pretty! I’m not a big pink person, but that shade really is fun. You look marvelous!

slim cat

What a fun combination! That bubblegum pink coat will brighten any cloudy day !

Bijou

I love your pink items and the citron outfit is stunning on you. My vibrant pink coat is now 8 years old and still going strong, I'm wearing it to the Barbie movie on Sunday evening because it's winter here and I will need to rug up! I'm sure yours will be a workhorse and so fun to match Jo. Does Jo have a hot pink winter dog coat??

Oooh just beautiful

Yes Angie as someone who grew up in SA I am not used to being cold! Thanks for the info. Oh and pink and yellow was one of my favourite colour combinations in the 1980's, along with purple and yellow

You make me think of hilighter markers Love it all on you!

Highlighter happiness color fab! Love this so much! Pink and yellow highlighters are the colors of success in my world!

Dana

Super fab!!! I thought the description of that coat as "twill" was odd. I couldn't figure out if it was a raincoat or winter coat...obvi the latter.

Once again you've nailed '80's fabness! Your citron outfit reminds me of a citron (but slightly warmer yellow) matching blouse and skirt set I wore on the first day of my first job out of college as a manager of a boutique.

You are having sooo much fun with your clothes lately...I love it!!

Runcarla

Beautiful!
