So the quest for a casual coat continues, after a major fail with the Cassonade Coat last month (see here) I decided to give the Wanigan Coat a whirl when it went on sale.
It's definitely cozy. but I dunno?
It's like lumberjack on the top and ballerina on the bottom... This is a size 0 (not petite, because that was already sold out online) and the sleeves are long, but otherwise, it fits well. Opinions?
I think you can do better. I agree, it's just too big on you and you are too cute for it! Have you tried the Frill Force Jacket? I am wanting that coat so bad and it looks really really cute on. But maybe it's not warm enough for what you want.
I agree...that is a cute coat (sorta split personality like you were saying) but it's just too big overall I think. You can totally find something else that fiyts perfectly. Sorry girl...keep searching and you'll find the perfect coat!
I dunno either Jan. I think the coat looks a size too big on you. If it was more fitted, it could potentially work. It would be good for outdoor adventures (like camping). How many times do you think you will wear it?
I think the coat is cute, but swallows you up a little bit because you are so tiny....I'm sure you will eventually find something perfect! I know how hard it is trying to find a coat that is just right!
oh no! This is not the right coat for you. It swallows you whole! It's too bad the petite was sold out bc it would be interesting to see how that worked. How disappointing :( I know you will be able to find something!
I agree with others. You are too cute to settle for this coat. Have you had any luck at Old Navy? Maggie is almost the same size as you now and loves her XS casual coat from there. Maybe you'll have luck and find a real bargain?
I don't want to jump on the pile, but we are almost the same size and girl, that coat is eating you up! I'm actually glad you posted this, because I've been admiring it too and now I know not to even bother. The bottom is so cute, but the top is looking huge on you. You ARE too cute for this coat.
Have you been on Soia & Kyo's website? The coat that Anthro sells (Petal Curves Puffer) is sold out in an xs, but they have ALL kinds of cutie cute coats on there in xs and xxs...worth a look! Good luck! *sigh* Petite girl sympathy over here, LOL.
I agree with the masses. I actually bought it after reviewing it when it went on sale and the coat I got in the mail was even more poufier on the bottom...I just couldn't get it to lay right so sadly it went back.
you are adorable, and the coat is cool, but it is eating you! maybe a solid color and something more streamlined. add fun and frills with scarves and mittens/hats/gloves ;)
We welcomed a baby girl into our family in October 2011 and the world has been rose colored ever since!
Jan - I'm 5ft tall when I stand on my tiptoes
I like my money right where I can see it...hanging in my closet.
I desperately need this blog because...
-my mom hates to shop (horrified gasp)
-I have no sisters.
-My eldest SIL is a missionary for the church and lives in Russia where she doesn't shop much.
-My other two SILs I'd love to shop with - but they live in California and Nebraska and we'd have to split up when I head for the Petite section, because they are both 5'10
-My girlfriends are on strict budgets. I am too, actually. But they stick to theirs.
-I have three young boys who only go to the mall if I promise to buy them Happy Meals and gumballs and keep my excursion to 30 minutes or less. Also, there can be no trying on items. Even if we could all fit in the dressing room.
-My husband believes that you should wear your clothes out. And I don't mean on date night.
No Boys Allowed!

You are adorable, but that coat is not. It swallows you up. You have are prettier style- this is too rustic for you.

The back is cute, but there is a lot going on in the front. It overwhelms your frame.

I hate to say it but you coined it... lumberjack meets ballerina! I think you look beautiful in anything but I would say that coat is a pass.

lumberjack meets ballerina? That made me laugh out loud. I have to agree. It's too big. Or you are too small. You pick :0).

The coat overwhelms your frame and the collar overwhelms your face. Too much coat for you. Not a good look on you.
