My wool/cashmere coat arrived and I so wanted to hate it...but it fits like it was custom made for me and is incredibly soft and pretty. Even DH said I should keep it, and he hates my JC addiction. I do wish I got black though, I dont know why, maybe because its a safe color for me. I dont own a camel colored coat, but this looks really good with my Burberry rain boots ;)

Don't you hate it when this happens?????? You want to hate it so you have an excuse to return it and then darn if it looks way better than you thought possible! If DH gave a thumbs up, well, that is a sign from the clothing Gods. Congrats!!!!

^ I got my Arrow sweater today!!! I LOVE IT!!! The color is great for me. I use to have a blazer in this color and it went with so much. I can't believe I ordered it Wednesday and got it today. I was leaving for work and saw the UPS guy down the road so I pulled up and he gave it to me!! He was so sweet too!! Now I don't have to worry about hubby finding a package.......

Got the Elements Coat today and LOVE it. It does run big, about a full size, but I took my normal 0 because they don't make it in 00. It is a bit big, but I think that's how it is meant to fit, because it looked super cute!! It was 20% off outerwear still in my store (but I didn't see a sign saying that) and I got my student discount on top of that which was nice. The coat is definitely not worth FP, because it is really thin feeling for a winter coat. It doesn't get terribly cold her and I have some warmer coats so that wasn't a concern for me, but if you are looking for a heavy duty winter coat, this probably isn't it.

I also got a sherpa hoodie I have been wanting, because they were on promo for 49!! I felt like it was a deal because I get a lot of use out of them.

Anyone have any ideas for what scarf I should get to wear with the dark fatigue elements coat? I want something pretty neutral. I was thinking the marbled knit snood:

or maybe just a solid gray scarf? Any ideas would be appreciated, because this coat is screaming for a big bulky, knit scarf and the only knit scarves I have will clash with this.

I just returned the dark fatigue elements coat yesterday only because I loved the Dapple coat more and couldn't justify keeping both. I thought the coat was a nice heavy wool with perfect sized hood-maybe your climate is colder than mine. I'm not crazy about mixing olive with greys, but I think this is a cute scarf if you like the combo:

Thanks, that is very cute! I really like gray and olive together. Does anyone else think grey/olive is okay or is that a big no no? I pretty much only buy neutrals anymore so I need a neutral color scarf that will go with the olive.
