Would like it much better if it didn't have the belt

Tbh I tried it on and didn't have a clue what to do with the belt. My fashionista friend was like 'Tut tut, come here...let me do that for you'.Blush

I like the gold bar thing on the collar on your link.

What is it close up?

I think it's just a button sort of deal for when it's closed.

Personally I'd wear with relatively plain skinny jeans and a plain top, almost like the model is wearing it. It has a gorgeous lining so I doubt anything too 'fussy' would go, and the splash of purple makes it pop. IMO.

OH also, I'm not a girl. Or at least not last time I checked. Smile

I love it. Its the kind of coat I dream of wearing but I end up looking like a squashed bag of mashed potato every time I try one on (which I do more often than is rational, hoping that fashion physics will have fundamentally changed since the last disastrous attempt).

What is the MN deal of not liking to be called a girl? Are you saying you're male?

Maybe it's a regional thing, but down here it just means female. No offence meant.

I honestly don't get it. Sorry if being ignorant, and I'm happy to be corrected. I think of myself as a feminist.....

Look, sorry if I offended anyone. I'm the most feminist person I know. Yes, I don't read about it, but if you saw my set-up you'd back off majorly, I guarantee you!

Tbh the 'you go girl' thing made me think. Yes, I'm black, and it is a term we use.

So I'm quite offended if that was meant as a slight

I honestly don't get it either, you were being friendly & the topic is coats not feminism, ageism or fascism Hmm
OP that coat is ok, doesn't look anything special for the price though.
seeyou the coat you posted is slightly Halloween costume.

I really like it, OP! Would go for the plain black - the purple lining makes the other one less versatile and I personally would probably grow tired of it quite quickly.

Love both coats. Btw, I've seen seeyou on other posts and he seems like a nice guy Smile
