Let's talk about THIS COAT from Amazon. I was looking for a new coat (before I decided my old coat can live another season) and this one kept coming up as the "Hottest" coat and it was always on back order when I looked at it. We'll I've seen women walking around with this coat. They look ridiculous. Yesterday I had to stop in Target to pick up something before I went home. There were 2 women on line in front of me, both wearing "the coat" giving each other the stink eye when the other wasn't looking. If I were in a better frame of mind I would have video'd it. Ah New York. www.amazon.com/dp/B00HHOLC0O/ref=twister_B07BV6V4HL

Huh; that stupid coat hasn’t made it to DC yet, thankfully.

I saw 2 other women separately when I went out to lunch. They all have it in the green.

Haaaa. I re-read the coat post. At first I thought that you liked it. Its a dumpy coat big in all the wrong places unless you have an exotic animal to smuggle into the country.

That looks like the kind of coat that would've attracted the bullies when I was in school. How trends change. I suppose it's warm at least! I won't even pretend to understand fashion, and yet again I see how little I get it.

It's Charles de Gaulle airport (Paris), no? Non? That coat kind of reminds me of the coat that was wildly popular when i was in middle school (1970-ish): an army green parka with fake fur trimmed hood that went out really far (i guess for Antarctica?), orange lining, and four pen holders on the arm. ALL the cool kids had one.

From the description of the coat: perfect stitches and manifested a unique charm of magnificence but at the same time not too overt.
And that green is just ugly.

I don't mind the coat. It looks like a sleeping bag and it seems cozy.
It would look terrible on anyone who wasn't very slim and would better suit someone tall.
As I am short and dumpy it would be a terrible coat for me.
But I like it. I also really like the colour.

I had an impractical black top from Comme des Garçons in the 80s that I got at some thrift store in NYC. I'm so glad that I no longer care about clothes and can waste all my money on airplane tickets instead.
Confession: I still think man buns are cute.

A too small top that shows every roll of back fat possible. I understand you are overweight, but for goodness sake, get some fashion sense.

Late to the game, but one that I was glad to see the last of:
A couple of years ago there was a fad of printing designs onto sloppily-pleated fabric so that as long as the blouse or skirt was hanging straight you could see the proper design - and some of them were actually pretty - but if you put it onto a non-cylindrical body, or moved around in any way, the pleats opened up and you saw uneven white stripes messing up the garment. The first time I saw this I thought it was a mistake, but noooo....
I don't know whose bright idea that was, but I was fooled often enough from a distance to go take a closer look. Then the items were in the discount shops and on the clearance racks before they finally vanished.

Those coats look like they weigh a ton - definitely something for someone who goes everywhere by limo instead of actually having to walk somewhere. (Aside from the fact that they're not particularly attractive.)

Some of those deep discounts hint that the coats are not flying out of the shops!
I have a similar looking bathrobe of synthetic material that I picked up for $25.00 that I wear around the house in the winter and sometimes wrap it over my nightgown and silk longjohns when I go to bed on a really cold single-digits-F night.

It gave us 'athleisure', expensive sweatpants to recreate the experience of staying home all the time.
