Sorry i hate it. I t looks more for a teenager trying new things out if im honest. It may be a bit better if the collar comes off (what were they thinking??).

I think step away, sorry. and £75 from dunnes Shock. My nan shops in Dunnes and wouldnt pay £7.50!!

Oh honey, no!

Skinheadmermaid · 15/09/2014 13:14

Erm, either for six and under or 80+.
It's hideous, sorry.

goddessofthunder · 15/09/2014 13:16

Yes, sorry I would say quirky 16-21yr old at a push. Anyone else will be running severe risk of looking like their Nan.....

InkleWinkle · 15/09/2014 13:17

You'd look like an extra from 'Frozen'

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/09/2014 13:18

You hate it. It's powder blue, covered in WHITE LACE with a cheap fake-fur collar. What's not to hate?

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/09/2014 13:19

Ok, blue lace. But still. It's covered in BLUE LACE!

Bakersbum · 15/09/2014 13:19

Personally I don't like it, not very keen on the colour or the lace, but my grandma would, sorry hope I haven't offended you, I'm not normally so blunt, but you did ask for honest opinions.

TortoiseshellSpecs · 15/09/2014 13:19

God, that is disgusting

BunnyLebowski · 15/09/2014 13:19

Sweet Barbara that's one ugly coat Shock

Um. No.

NecesitoDormir · 15/09/2014 13:20

Seriously? My nan would have worn something like this. In fact I think she got married in something very similar. It is not a nice coat.

twobambinos · 15/09/2014 13:21

thanks for the honesty mind made up

Hideous wouldn't pay 75p for it, Sorry

HaroldLloyd · 15/09/2014 13:22

Glad you swerved this bad boy OP!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/09/2014 13:27

"Mind made up" is worrying me. Have you decided to defy us, OP, and wear that fugly coat with pride???

twobambinos · 15/09/2014 13:35

whatsgoingoneh i can assure u i am no where near being a nan so nope def wont be wearing it anywhere. im a bit clueless when it comes to style but im trying to become more informed and the style and beauty board is def very helpful.

Whew! :)

Invest your money in a simple, stylish coat. Choose a glam fabric like velvet or sheepskin, if you want... but keep the cut very simple. Timeless. No fancy collars or hemlines - those are the things that go in/out of style and will date your coat.

SofaCanary · 15/09/2014 13:37

You dodged a bullet there!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/09/2014 13:42

What about this, if you want a colourful coat? I'm not wild about it but it's simple so won't look horribly dated too soon.

warning:it's M&S

twobambinos · 15/09/2014 13:46

oh god no thanks i avoid m&s like the plague. im too young for that shop. (and the blue coat too i know i know)

ya i have a few coats in the wardrobe simple cuts timeless no fancy details thats why i kind of wanted something different i dont really mind that its only going to last one season. ill keep the eyes peeled. thanks for all yer help.

Are you joking??? God no.. Even if I was in my eighties I wouldn't be seen dead in that..

Crutchlow35 · 15/09/2014 16:40

Oh dear. If it was red it would be like mrs Claus.

GlassNoodle · 15/09/2014 16:49

Have a look at Urban Outfitters, Topshop or Joy - they often do coats with quirky details like lace/colour/fur collars etc.

ZaraW · 15/09/2014 19:01

I wonder how much that coat will be reduced in the sales? It is hideous.

TSSDNCOP · 15/09/2014 19:08

My eyes

Sad
