New coat - yea or nay?

I meant I love Option 2, No 2 has too many snaps.

Check out Victoria's Secret. They have A LOT of nice coats right now.

I like, not love the second one. It is much better than the first one. The first one reminds me of a quilt.

*BeachBride0410* · October 2009

I agree it doesn't look that warm and I see you are from NJ. You need something warmer in my opinion.

crfische · October 2009

OH GOD TWO IS HORRIBLE.

ricksang · October 2009

What is your price range? I live in MS. and I still need something pretty warm in the winter.

I like the second one way better. I got a rabbit fur scarf once. It was soo friggin' warm and comfortable, I wore it out once, and got so much shiit from people for wearing it I returned it the next day. Wasn't worth dealing with the moral consternation. I felt OK about wearing rabbit, though...they've totally overpopulated much of the world. Not sure how I'd feel about fox.But I don't have your body type...so I'm not positive what styles will look best on you. Maybe Dani can give you a good opinion?

Fische, that was the reaction of my friend here at work. For some reason I like it, but she was all "Eww. No."PFFFT.I will check out VS. Sigh. Stupid winter.

Try kohls.com as well. I got my coat from there last year.

kate51485 · October 2009

Well, I could still be wrong

As far as anything stylish goes for winter coats I'm lost...I've been wearing my North Face fleece for like 5 years and have no plans to switch to anything else.

2 years ago I bought an awesome wool pea coat from NY&Co for $60 and it's SO FREAKING warm. It hits around my butt, but I'm 5'2" and it looks really cute on me. Maybe something like that?

kdcwedding · October 2009

Ricks, if at all possible I would like something under $200 that comes to around knee length (again, I'm only around 5'3" or 5'4", so thats not too tough). Preferably not the standard black wool coat, I am so sick of mine, but still warm for every day winter cold and snow removal from the car on occasion.

ac_in_dc · October 2009

Oh, and it really depends on the thickness of the wool how warm that coat is. Winter coats are tough to get on-line, although I will get coats from bluefly b/c they have a good return policy. I ordered some jeans from Rue La La once (yanuks, my favorite). I paid $49 each for 2 pairs which they said retailed for $179. When I received the jeans, one pair was $179, but the other pair had an MSRP of $89. I was pissed but never bothered to do anything about it...I don't like false advertising.

I HATE the first one. Real fur issue aside, it is completely fugly and unless you are tall and lithe you will look like a stuffed sausage. The second one would be great if it didnt have quite so much going on. I also agree with Nebb that it doesn't look very warm. Maybe something else similar that doesn't have quite so much needless detailing going on and is a little warmer? I always think needless add-ons on a garmet makes it look cheap. I like the belt on it. Belts on coats are a great way to give you a shape and avoid the whole "boxy added weight" thing that most coats do.

East said it best.Andalso it makes me hot just thinking about coats. I almost wore a long sleeve shirt today but I knew I would be dying by the afternoon.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · October 2009

I feel like quilted coats never look great on people. I like pea coats better, but it's a matter of preference.Yeah. And I'm just not a fan of the hood.

J&K10910 · October 2009

I'm so mad at VS. They don't have the coat I want in the color I want it anymore. Stupid VS.

kdcwedding · October 2009

Ricks, could you PIP? I will have to check the link at home later otherwise - stupid work blocks VS.

fangsiting · October 2009

Nay, because of the fur.

ricksang · October 2009

Okay, hold on.

ac_in_dc · October 2009

ooh, that's pretty ricks. Have you ordered coats from VS before? I've had issues with the quality of their clothes sometimes...for things that are trendy it's no big deal, but I usually wear a winter coat a lot and like to get a couple of years out of it.

kdcwedding · October 2009

Thanks!That is cute...a little detail so it's not boring, but not too much going on!I think it is definitely a contender

Thanks for finding it! I will check out the full info in the link when I get home.

ricksang · October 2009

I have not ordered a coat from there. I have ordered a coat from NY and Co. 3 years ago and I still have that coat. IKt has held up well for 100 bucks!
