i have no idea who that post was directed at either btw

i love apc so much. thinking about getting a crewneck pullover but i want it in bright pink. also thinking about a knit sweater jacket from there. or really splurging on their red hooded coat. RED. <3
i have some acne pistol boots on preorder. shouldn't spend the money .. gonna sell a pair or two i don't wear to not feel as bad, i guess.
don't care much about trends but i do like the trend of bright colored trousers and i'd like a pair in red if i could find any i liked. the only pairs i've seen are j brand and rag & bone in the skinny-skinny cut and i don't want that
that's really all i need. got a couple of simple knee length skirts from theory.. and i would really like a nicer fitted blazer in cream or taupe from isabel marant or vanessa bruno, i just can't find the perfect one (and shouldn't spend that kind of money tbh)
― daria-g, Thursday, 15 September 2011 03:03 (twelve years ago) link
oh hell i also maybe should get an apc 'fashion is for losers' t-shirt and their 20's top in RED, i have one in navy already & it goes with everything
― daria-g, Thursday, 15 September 2011 03:06 (twelve years ago) link
I would love a pair of red trousers! I've been on the lookout for forever, but have not come across a pair that would work for me.
I threw away my 10+ years old winter coat last year (black wool peacoat, had replaced lining 2+ times, didn't cost much to begin with). I'd like an awesome camel coat and am willing to drop some cash on it if it would give me a decade of wear. Suggestions appreciated! Must be go0d for both casual and over-work-clothes wear (pantsuits, mostly) and look good on a tall laydee.

garance dore got a camel coat from max mara and she knows what's up. i'll keep an eye out, i usually don't pay attention because i look like death in that color
― daria-g, Thursday, 15 September 2011 03:52 (twelve years ago) link
haha me too - i totally ignore everything camel coloured in fashion! charcoal all the way. white in my dreams, the ones where nothing ever spills and bikes don't need grease.
― obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Thursday, 15 September 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
Camel may not be the most flattering of shades on me, but I am sick to death of black coats. Charcoal would be an option, but I am really trying to expand my coat horizons. A nice cherry red would be cool.

UKers: depending on the item, I'm a 6, 8, or 10 in US women's sizes. What UK size for a coat that supposedly runs true to size? UK 12???
― quincie, Thursday, 15 September 2011 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
10 or 12 i think but E would know better if she's reading
― caek, Thursday, 15 September 2011 14:45 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man Quincie that's hard. Which of those do you think you'd most likely wear in a coat? You'd maybe want to size up to accommodate sweaters?
In general US - UK is two sizes so
6 - 8 UK8 - 10 UK10 - 12 UK
Some websites say to size up 2 sizes but I've never felt that's the case. I'm a US 12 and a UK 14 pretty consistently.
I would maybe order a 10 but make sure it's something you can exchange if the size isn't right?
Sorry - that wasn't very helpful.

man i would buy a new winter coat every year if i could afford it i love buying coats, jackets, sweaters
― Lamp, Thursday, 15 September 2011 15:59 (twelve years ago) link
otm.
i got a great vintage pea coat last year. it is like 1/2" too small though which the fit a bit more "fashion" than i would like, and the shoulders end up being a little bit dramatic.
― caek, Thursday, 15 September 2011 16:04 (twelve years ago) link
I've been wearing the same navy pea coat for a couple years and I'm not tired of it yet but wow I REALLY do want that APC coat in red, I tried it on and the fit is perfect.
― daria-g, Thursday, 15 September 2011 16:41 (twelve years ago) link
Hmmmm I think I'm gonna go for the UK12. With a coat it seems better to err on the side of too big than too small!
― quincie, Thursday, 15 September 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link
haha daria imo the f/w apc stuff is some of their nicest in years just the palette and the details... they have an 'english mack' that i covet but i just got a new coat last winter

I know Laurel aren't they the most beautiful coats you've ever seen. I keep looking at them . . .
― your mom the burrito (ENBB), Thursday, 15 September 2011 16:51 (twelve years ago) link
I mean all of the nice coats I've had over the years have probably originally been around those prices but I've never actually paid full price for them. I always wait until they're marked down. I doubt these will get marked down any time soon though.

I always wonder what to do with those plain-necked coats. They look bad on me without something in the neckline like a scarf, but then I always have to have a matching scarf on hand and sometimes it's too warm for that, and then things have become too complicated so I don't buy them anymore.
I envy them on other people, though.
― Octavia Butler's gonna be piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised (Laurel), Thursday, 15 September 2011 17:19 (twelve years ago) link
Same! I love that coat but in addition to the neck thing I'd worry that it would be too shapeless. It could be one of things that looks amazing on though. I LOVE the color.
― your mom the burrito (ENBB), Thursday, 15 September 2011 17:20 (twelve years ago) link
I'm the same way, too! I always go for big-ass collars.
― quincie, Thursday, 15 September 2011 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
I go for stand-up collars, turned up ones or Mao jacket ones, something with a vertical element.

got a bit of stuff recently, orange polo neck, looks pretty great with navy blazer and a mac. also got some sort of burgundy jeans and a heavy cable knit sweater. gonna look at second hand stuff today for a bit i think.
