Okay, style question!

I have fallen deeply in love with that blue coat, which comes from Delia's and they might have it in my size. But the thing is this: I've heard that women with big chests shouldn't wear double-breasted coats, 'cause they tend to make you look humongous.

Thoughts? Should I take a chance on a coat that is gorgeous as all get-out or go for something else?

I still want a navy blue trench coat that's quarter-length. I love trench coats for no particular reason; I just think they're cool. I also want cuffed, slightly wide-legged pants in navy, but I haven't managed to find any that I like yet. Woe.

While we're still talking about fashion: what is it with Ed Westwick? His hair is so hideously adorably coiffed there. HEEEE.

Good God almighty, this cover is heinous. It has GOT to be a parody. For real!

And finally: I had a dream that giventofly37 was going with me to see The Dark Knight. That movie is trying to eat my life, guys.

Aww, I would totally see TDK with you! Alas, geography is not on our side...

I agree, that EW cover is awful! Not only does RP look hideous--yeah, he's supposed to be pale & sleepy. And KS's pose looks forced & she looks bored.

Have you thought about going to a local store and trying on a double breasted jacket to see how it looks on you? Then, if think "Oh hai, doublebreasted is ok on me", order the cute coat from Delia's.

Oh my god, I adore that coat!

In my experience, it depends on the shape of the double-breasted coat. One that goes straight down will make you look boxy, especially if you don't have much of a waist. But if a coast flairs out a little below the waist or draws in at the waist (and especially if you have a bit of a waist), chances are it will look just fine.

If you have a Delia's in your town, I'd try it on first, or at least try on a very similar coat -- I wouldn't buy it blindly online just because those kinds of coats are so iffy for girls with our shapes. :)

The EW cover cracks me up. Needs more dazzle, though.

Double-breasted coats are gorgeous, IMO. Besides, nice belt, no attention to chest --> all attention will go right to the figure.

now if I could find a peacoat that is normal...

pretty blue coat
I have no idea about the chest situation, though.
yay I'm near flat it will work for me!

Trenchcoats are awesome!

His hair is so hideously adorably coiffed there.

IMAGINE CHUCK IN A TRENCHCOAT
WHAT COLOR WOULD IT BE


I hope it's a parody, because I definitely don't want to see that in the grocery store.
rpattz is probably laughing all the way to the bank
