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

I think zara are better

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

I think it's beautiful. Drooling with envy.

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?

Ah, Orinoco speaks out.

You must never leave again. Never.

What sort of coat are you after?

What's your budget? Any no-nos?

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 :)

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.

i like this but it'sblack

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

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

i loooooooove this one.

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

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.

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.

Hmm... charcoal you say...

Here?

Here?

Here?

Here?

Here?

Bugger the budget

Yes, good point ST.

suspect tethers beaten me to it

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