Good lord yes.....nice coat but awful colour.

pesme · 12/09/2006 13:08

one to look out for in the sale for a tenner me thinks

SoupDragon · 12/09/2006 13:08

Your ar$e would get cold in that.

southeastastra · 12/09/2006 13:08

chartreuse i often wondered what colour that was

bundle · 12/09/2006 13:08

I like the colour, not the coat

Fimbo · 12/09/2006 13:08

Yes, it would be lovely in choc brown or black.

bloody Winter Lime - it's everywhere

There were heaps of this shape in Style in the Times on Sunday but I think I've recycled it already - will check tonight.

Topshop and Miss Selfridge worth a look for this kind of jacket too.

Fimbo · 12/09/2006 13:14

Being Fimbo, I shouldn't really complain about the colour should I? I have the Sunday Times Style Mag but don't like anything in it - most of the coats had bows or were those sleeping bag affairs . Can you tell I am having a hard time looking for a winter jacket.

hmm, only remembered the shape being referred to as 'princess line' in the Claudia Croft 'Great Cover Up' article. Will keep my eyes open.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 12/09/2006 13:24

color and buttons are horrid imo

Earlybird · 12/09/2006 13:27

I saw it in the store when I was shopping yesterday. It's even more vivid "in person" than in that picture. Very odd colour.

orangegiraffe · 12/09/2006 13:31

Its not your average coat color is it, it would only go with certain things, not my sort of coat.

Fimbo · 12/09/2006 13:35

These boots to match-non?

desperateSCOUSEwife · 12/09/2006 13:40

fimbo where on earth do you find these things
do you just google shite and they pop up

pmsl @ those boots
they are an obscenity

DelGirl · 12/09/2006 13:43

Saw the coat in m & s yesterday. It was hard not to miss it . Very nice but it's something you should wear whilst cycling at night with no lights.

Fimbo · 12/09/2006 13:43

LOL DSW-My dh says they same thing!

OMG all the shoes on that site are hideous

JackieNo · 12/09/2006 13:45

I quite like the colour though not the style. Would definitely prefer chartreuse to something that describes itself as mustard .

VeniVidiVickiQV · 12/09/2006 13:45

LOL at the boot-shaped squirrels!!!!

Orlando · 12/09/2006 13:45

Wait until it's in the sale, buy it for ten of your finest english pounds, and dye it.

Stiglet · 13/09/2006 18:25

this is very similar in black

FifteenBadgersOnADeadMansChest · 19/09/2006 13:24

now, this is how dedicated I am - I saw this coat in a magazine today and immediately thought 'wasn't someone on MN looking for one that shape?'

so ghere it is .
