I like it in black

Would like it much better if it didn't have the belt

LookAtMeGo · 23/11/2015 23:45

Tbh I tried it on and didn't have a clue what to do with the belt. My fashionista friend was like 'Tut tut, come here...let me do that for you'.Blush

That's nice Seeyou, you naughty girl! How would you wear it?

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:12

I like the gold bar thing on the collar on your link.

LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:12

What is it close up?

OP posts:
Seeyounearertime · 24/11/2015 00:23

I think it's just a button sort of deal for when it's closed.

Personally I'd wear with relatively plain skinny jeans and a plain top, almost like the model is wearing it. It has a gorgeous lining so I doubt anything too 'fussy' would go, and the splash of purple makes it pop. IMO.

OH also, I'm not a girl. Or at least not last time I checked. Smile

I love it. Its the kind of coat I dream of wearing but I end up looking like a squashed bag of mashed potato every time I try one on (which I do more often than is rational, hoping that fashion physics will have fundamentally changed since the last disastrous attempt).

LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:30

What is the MN deal of not liking to be called a girl? Are you saying you're male?

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:32

Maybe it's a regional thing, but down here it just means female. No offence meant.

CarpetDiem · 24/11/2015 00:40

lookatme you go girl! Couldn't agree more.

LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:44

Are you being sarcastic carpet? You naughty girl! Grin

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:45

I honestly don't get it. Sorry if being ignorant, and I'm happy to be corrected. I think of myself as a feminist.....

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:49

Look, sorry if I offended anyone. I'm the most feminist person I know. Yes, I don't read about it, but if you saw my set-up you'd back off majorly, I guarantee you!

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:51

Tbh the 'you go girl' thing made me think. Yes, I'm black, and it is a term we use.

OP posts:
LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 00:52

So I'm quite offended if that was meant as a slight

OP posts:
CarpetDiem · 24/11/2015 00:58

I honestly don't get it either, you were being friendly & the topic is coats not feminism, ageism or fascism Hmm
OP that coat is ok, doesn't look anything special for the price though.
seeyou the coat you posted is slightly Halloween costume.

Stylistformyboys · 24/11/2015 01:04

Yawn.

LookAtMeGo · 24/11/2015 01:06

Thanks, carpet I honestly didn't know what was happening, hence my subsequent posts!

stylist thanks for your post. Not Hmm

I really like it, OP! Would go for the plain black - the purple lining makes the other one less versatile and I personally would probably grow tired of it quite quickly.

WhenASuitcaseJustWontDo · 24/11/2015 08:13

Love both coats. Btw, I've seen seeyou on other posts and he seems like a nice guy Smile
