I am not sure I am tall or thin enough for the peacoat.

Do you perhaps have a sundress in the same or similar color as the jacket? That would be very pretty paired with it and a pair of nude or neutral colored sandals.<br /><br />As for the peacoat, I am not completely sold on it, and think you should really consider letting it go. I do think in a lot of cases you can wear a scarf with a color that isn't so flattering for your skintone to make it work, but I don't feel like that is the case with this coat. It is such a bold color and makes the coat really stand out in the picture. It is actually what I notice first when looking at the pic, and my eyes keep going back to it, even if I try to focus on the scarf. If it were the Byzantine blue or another shade of blue that is "your color", I think it would be a great piece to keep, but not in this shade. I'm assuming you have other coats to wear, so letting this one go isn't going to leave you freezing this winter?Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-88827447459551901742012-07-24T09:46:07.125-03:002012-07-24T09:46:07.125-03:00whoops - that should have been "if the scarf ...whoops - that should have been "if the scarf makes a difference.."WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-90998400323950631562012-07-24T09:45:35.321-03:002012-07-24T09:45:35.321-03:00Thanks Cate!

I think Tiffany Rose has a good idea about pairing it with more casual frocks and I think that could make the difference. It is beautiful, but a bit fussy!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-46873849349026260002012-07-24T09:01:41.543-03:002012-07-24T09:01:41.543-03:00My opinion: Say goodbye to the red peacoat and ke...My opinion: Say goodbye to the red peacoat and keep the Talbots jacket. <br /><br />The peacoat... Although I cannot tell if the color suits you, I think the lapels are too big. The scarf helps it, but unless you really need this coat, I think you should say goodbye to it. It isn't making you happy. I have a similar peacoat issue - one is light gray and does nothing for me and I haven't let it go yet, then I have a navy one from LEC that was such a deal but is not that flattering. Maybe I just don't like peacoats as much as I like the idea of peacoats! <br /><br />The Talbots jacket reminds me of the current J. Crew jackets in style. It is hard to see the detail from this picture. It seems like you like this jacket but you can't figure out how to style it. I think it looks great on you in both pictures. Keep! :)catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-31014932059525521092012-07-24T08:17:54.082-03:002012-07-24T08:17:54.082-03:00Yes, Bill and I will always have the Talbots daisy...Yes, Bill and I will always have the Talbots daisy lace jacket - He is probably reading this blog this am, thinking wistfully of what might have been...I am going to try Tiffany's solution above and take a picture!<br /><br />I am going over the take a look at JC right now!

I would go for an equally vibrant color that you love: the byzantine blue maybe! You need a scarf in that color! Didn't J Crew do a linen/silk scarf in that shade this summer? Blue scarf and matching byzantine blue sweater over a black pencil skirt or slim pants and then the coat over, add in ballet flats in either the blue or the poppy red, I like that outfit. I'd carry a black bag with it.<br />I'd keep the jacket for sentimental reasons alone, you and Bill... even if you only wear it once a year!DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-57923002967915552852012-07-24T06:11:15.067-03:002012-07-24T06:11:15.067-03:00As I think you know, my summer colour comes from a...As I think you know, my summer colour comes from a bottle. I have been so busy in the last two weeks that I have not had time. I will have to get myself ready for my upcoming trip to Boston and the Coldplay concert. I want to wear a white tank top, as I think it will be hot.<br /><br />The colours I fear are khaki, orange and beige. Bad, bad colours near my face. I did buy the gauguin orange linen trousers last summer on a whim and when I gird myself to wear them I always feel sort of fantastic. <br /><br />I will watch for your feet!<br /><br />I was at a meet and greet with Bill in advance of a talk he was giving. I had all these witty things I wanted to say to him, but I was completely struck dumb when I got up to greet him. I mean DUMB! I was just in awe. He then spoke for 50 minutes with no notes whatsoever before answering questions. Say what you will, the man is a genius and i think he would make my dinner party list....WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-24535712434438729942012-07-24T06:05:46.901-03:002012-07-24T06:05:46.901-03:00Hi Tiffany Rose!

As for Bill - he would be one of my fantasy dinner party guests, such a charmer.<br />Funnily enough I've never worn any of those blues before, there in my 'colours to fear box', along with purples, yellows, burgundies.<br />Talking of pale women, my tan is starting to fade now and in my pic I'm putting up tomorrow, check out the colour difference between my feet and hands - my feet look dead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-47407520323401999052012-07-24T02:34:19.414-03:002012-07-24T02:34:19.414-03:00I can't tell if the red is that bad for your c...I can't tell if the red is that bad for your coloring but I'll have to say the royal blue is gorgeous on you, just as purple was in another post of yours. What about a royal or purple scarf with the red? As for the lace jacket, have you tried it with slim trouser jeans and a chambray or royal or purple silk shirt? Have you worn the lace jacket over a simple black dress with black sandals?tiffany rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105832290440620053noreply@blogger.com
