I thought this looked lovely for a Spring coat but my very conservative son told me not to be ridiculous. I'm still tempted. Would you wear something so loud?
I love it! I had a similar dilemma a few years ago when I saw a beautiful bright flowered coat in Boden. I plucked up the courage to buy it and have had many a stranger stop me to compliment me when out and about in London. Glad you bought it.
I would love to wear it but I'm not sure whether I'd have the courage. In my 20s during the hippy era, I wore a lot of weird stuff and yes, I know we should wear whatever the heck we like (please don't quote that damnable purple & orange poem at me or I'll vomit) but, in 2025 in my 70s, I'd need a deal more chutzpah and a lot less avoir dupois than I have left now.
I love bright colours and I'm sooo fed up with my boring but useful black coat. But I'm also quite stingy and would work out how much it might cost me per wearing. I would wear that coat if I thought it would earn its keep.
I think it's great and glad you bought it. The next time you're going out with your son, tell him in advance that you'll be wearing it and if he doesn't like it, you'll go out on your own.
