if you must freeze your wrists off this is more stylish imo

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 13:02

How about this?

Tutter · 25/01/2008 13:03

another one, for those with normal length arms

i don't really do black, but these are ok i think

Tutter · 25/01/2008 13:04

ooh, no nj

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 13:05

No I'm not keen on the sleeves, but I thought Capp maybe had a thing about something different in the armage area....

nailpolish · 25/01/2008 13:05

capp

i have been thinking

you are small like me

big shawl type collars look shite on us, we dont have the shoulders to carry them off (like the OP great plains one)

you could always try it on tho, i could be wrong

VinegarTits · 25/01/2008 13:05

That one is nice Tutter

Cappuccino · 25/01/2008 13:05

don't like that one Tutter but good though re website

what about this one

OP posts:
NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 13:06

That last one is gorgeous Tutter...

Why do I get the feeling I am going to have bought another coat before the end of today?

nailpolish · 25/01/2008 13:06

tutter that is mingin (the belted one)

Tutter · 25/01/2008 13:06

if you are petite you shopuld def go more fitted

like my first link

or like this

Cappuccino · 25/01/2008 13:06

what does naily think

OP posts:
Tutter · 25/01/2008 13:07

it's ok capp

but very plain

nailpolish · 25/01/2008 13:07

i like that double collar one from ages ago

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 13:07

Capp that is very nice, but, and I am not saying you have obviously, if you have any amount of paunch going on, don't do it, it will make you look 10 months pregnant.

If you are slim, it is lovely

Tutter · 25/01/2008 13:08

( id on't like th long one i linked to btw, but was trying to be open minded)

Cappuccino · 25/01/2008 13:08

gosh that is horrid tutter

you'll be saying I should get this one next

OP posts:
VinegarTits · 25/01/2008 13:08

See we all have different tastes, she should go with her first instinct and buy some lovely long gloves to go with it

NatalieJane · 25/01/2008 13:09

It has to be fairly plain for every day use.

Cappuccino · 25/01/2008 13:09

this one naily?

I did wonder about that

I also like the fact that it was once very dear

And I guess it is fitted and neat etc

should I.... should I....

(it will look good with the short red gloves won't it)

OP posts:
nailpolish · 25/01/2008 13:10

it does not have to plain for every day use

nailpolish · 25/01/2008 13:11
