It's awful.

Shocker: we all have different tastes

ProseccoBitch · 22/03/2017 12:04

I think it all depends on your taste, you couldn't pay me enough it. That's not meant to sound rude, everyone likes different things and you would probably hate things that I like.

ProseccoBitch · 22/03/2017 12:04

Agh! Couldn't pay me enough to wear it I meant!

I'm sure my gran had some curtains like that in the 'parlour'. But if you like it sod what anyone else thinks.

OnceUponATimeInLondon · 22/03/2017 12:06

Heheheh it really is marnitey, isn't it? Yes, I do really like it. It's silky and has great embroidery and sequins which you can't really see in the picture. It honestly didnt look like any of the usual aqua weirdness that I associate with PU which is why I was surprised when I spotted it.

Awful

Bluntness100 · 22/03/2017 12:35

Ah, ok, well I think it is probably quite marmite and the sequins is a final nail in it's no way for me. However I really don't like busy patterns , and I prefer Jackets with some waist definition, but it is different and I doubt you'll see many others wearing it.

namechangingagainagain · 22/03/2017 12:36

I love it too. I might even buy it!

Oh did you actually buy it??

Pottedplants · 22/03/2017 13:13

I thought you were kidding OP 😀 but we all have different tastes. I couldn't make out the sequins thankfully as it is quite busy looking. It wouldn't be for me but I prefer plain coats defined by their shape than patterns. If I had more money, I'd experiment a bit more with patterns maybe.
