I do not need a new coat, I do want this new coat....

[Nanodust]

So, help me decide to walk away or bring out my flexible friend and buy.......

It's lovely...yes pink coats were everywhere in 2014, but I still love them.

You would t be able to wear it on public transport though....

You'd look like Mr. Blooby 😲

It looks like something the queen would wear, or as a pp said, delores umbridge.

Ha ha - the queen is not a look I'm aiming for. Okay I'm convinced and I'm stepping away. I will get a 'sensible' parka 😝

You'd only look like the queen if you styled it like she would......

But good luck in finding the perfect parka

I actually like it, however I hate pale grubby coats. They always get grubby on the cuffs, I think it looks horrible.
This to my mind would need dry cleaning every third wearing.

I thought Mr Blobby too. I imagine you'd sit down in it and the shoulders would be around your ears.

Its very old lady ish

I really like the lapels but it's a very unflattering shape I think.

I think it could go the direction of crazy lady, bit Bet Lynch ykwim?

Buy the coat if you love it. I've not got a huge amount of clothes in general but I like coats. I've probably got a few more than I need. I love the colour not sure about the shape.

Mango always have very reasonably priced stylish coats, at a glance. No idea if they're warm. I like a warm coat, otherwise I end up back in my 11 year old north face coat.

That pink coat looks almost exactly like the one my DM wore to my christening in the mid 60s, together with a round pink hat. It looked very chic in the photos.

i imagine id look v stylish in this coat, it'd transform me

Talk me in or out of it! (5'1" size ten, never look as stylish or as well pulled together as I saw my outfit in my mind's eye before I catch a glimpse of myself in window)

@ PuppyMonkey. 'Mmm, I'd love some candy floss. Wonder if it'd go with my coat?'

You'll regret the colour. That shade of pink coat was everywhere the last few winters. It was a flash in the pan that's looking dated already. I wouldn't suggest buying one at this stage.

It's all about red this winter
