Do you like t his frivolous coat?

[LaTrucha]

I think the collar is a bit too big, and I don't like the buttons, but I am tempted.

Bargain and functional?

Ooh yes, I do! How is it frivolous though? Because it's white? I'd have thought the waterproof-ness (new word) would make it quite stain resistant...

why is that frivolous? It looks pretty functional to me...

Colour makes it daft not frivolous (sorry!),but as a functional item,if you don't mind it a bit grubby,it's a good reduction.

Wrong bloody link.

That one I actually did buy.

This one.

I know everyone is going to hate it. They always do when I post on here!

That is a very different coat from the first one!

I like it though! I'd have spilled something down it within 5 minutes, but if you can bear to see it soiled then go for it.

When I saw the words 'glamour' and 'princess',I hardly dared look tbh.

But,it's lovely

Love it

Oh my goodness. I've chosen something some other people like (faints in surprise)

It's not something I would wear but I don't dislike it Gwan get it

Might just order itjust to see if that collar is really too big .....

Good idea

It's a bit Audrey Hepburn isn't it. I think it could be really nice.

It's nice but I would change the buttons.

It should have covered buttons

Ok. Having had resounding success I am now going to ruin it. I was getting a bit worried about combining that coat with the shoes and bags I have so I started looking at other coats, I know the one I'm going to link to is very different, but it it frivolous.

What do you think?

Ok if you are at 6th form college. Possibly.

no the fur one looks cheap - buy the cream one and get a gorgeous scarf to go with it

i bought three new pashminas at lunchtime for $22. Feeling v smug

I used to have one similar to that. Wore it until it was pretty much threadbare. Does that give you an idea to my opinion?

Love the first one, particularly the collar. Dislike the second intensely. It gives me fur balls just looking at it.

All this is guided by my love of a black boucle swing coat i wore to death while at 6th form college. I don't wear black anymore, and I know I will live most of the winter in my oh-so-practical North Face parka, but I do fancy a pretty, fun coat. I admit, it does look cheap.

What is really getting me is the handbag...... I don't know what I would do now I think of it.

I LOVE the first one. It's a beautiful, stylish coat. I so couldn't be trusted with such a light colour but I want it.

I like the buttons, too, they're make it that bit more retro.

The H&M one looks cheap and not at all stylish to me...

The 60s looking one is lovely. Collar not too big....it's part of it's beauty.

Ok. I get the message....
