i really like this coat, but couldn't justify spending the money on it. particularly as it seems more of a "going out" coat than a "wear every day" coat. so, style and beauty gurus, can you find one that is pretty much exactly like it but for much cheaper???

zara sheepskin coat

of course, you may be better off just telling me that it's hideous and that i'm off my head for thinking about it!

Can't help you, sorry - but I'm gobsmacked. Had no idea Zara sold anything for almost £500!

Not my thing, sorry - my first criteria is "practical" and I somehow don't think this will stand up to muddy play...

cocobongo · 02/10/2012 23:13

yes, agreed it does seem bizarre that zara are selling anything at that cost- I mean, even if I was planning to spend that amount on a coat, it wouldn't be from somewhere like zara!!!!

haha damefanny, that is not what you were supposed to say! you are supposed to say it is hideous!!!! (and then find me one exactly the same for about £50!!!)

Erm, it's hideous, just awful

and you absolutely shouldn't be looking for it in the January sales

Brandnewbrighttomorrow · 02/10/2012 23:25

I like it! £500 steep though.

Missing the Mongolian fur collar & cuffs but pretty close otherwise at trench connection

Brandnewbrighttomorrow · 02/10/2012 23:36

Or even french connection Blush

phase eight

dancingqueen78 · 02/10/2012 23:51

What about this one?

cocobongo · 02/10/2012 23:53

thanks Brandnewbrighttomorrow, the french connection one is nice, not as fussed with the phase eight one but....... not quite right.aargh!

and, £179 for an acrylic coat!!!! makes the £500 for a sheepskin one seem almost a bargain. okay, not really but still!

thanks dancingqueen78, but again not quite right....

If you can't find exactly what you want, ASOS are reducing fluffy faux fur cuff, collars etc. to customise your own coat.
