What is consensus on this Isabelle Oliver coat? Classic or dull?]]

[Jewelsandgems]

I think zara are better

[tethersend]

Dull I think, sorry- maybe if were cut slightly differently... or a different colour... it just makes me think of Fulham rather than classic French IYSWIM.

BTW, where have you been? S&B needs you- it's tunic and leggings season, and somebody must help me fight the madness

[missorinoco]

I think it's beautiful. Drooling with envy.

[moondog]

God, I don't want Fulham or 'classic French'.
That's bloody dull but yes Tether, you are right I think but I need a nice dark coat.

I've only ventured into Zara a few times. Seemed a bit cheap tbh.

I have been orfline for weeks. Twas terrible. Then I got involved with some heavy duty work stuff so am in the wilderness sartorially speaking.

I wore a very nice pair of 40s style suede purple shoes today if that helps?

[moondog]

Ah, Orinoco speaks out.

[tethersend]

You must never leave again. Never.

What sort of coat are you after?

What's your budget? Any no-nos?

[Jewelsandgems]

I think you're either a 'love zara' person (like me) or not. But yes, they do have some cheaper things and some not so cheap. I do buy a new coat each year, and like the envious glances I get from my zara coat(s), so works well for me :)

[moondog]

What a lovely return home.
Coat?
I want something long and slimline in charcoal I think.
I've got shorter more colourful things already.
I'd spend maybe £300.
I'll have to check out Zara again.

I'm in the sticks so shopping either online or erratic real life splurges so probably not well enough acquainted with the stock.

[brimfull]

i like this but it'sblack

[moondog]

That's nice.
I think I like a bit longer thoguh.
(Would that make me look like a dodgy bookie?)

[SingingTunelessly]

God that IO coat is gorgeous. Really want it but don't NEED it.

[blinks]

i loooooooove this one.

[brimfull]

too short? and not wool
don't know why i'm linking but I do like it

[SingingTunelessly]

Also like the PC one but think I look a bit sergeant majorish when it needs doing up like that. If I leave it open it always looks a bit bag lady.

[moondog]

Blinks, ya reckon?
God, i think it is hideous and would date in about 3 weeks.

G, that could look really great or really really dull.
It's a terrifyingly fine line sometimes.

[tethersend]

Hmm... charcoal you say...

Here?

Here?

Here?

Here?

Here?

Bugger the budget

[moondog]

Yes, good point ST.

[blinks]

[brimfull]

suspect tethers beaten me to it

[BeattieBow]

I ordered that coat and had to send it back - sleeves were really long, even though I am tall and not freakishly short-armed.

[brimfull]
