So I was at target last night, and I saw this coat, and I really like it! But I want to make sure I'm not crazy. I think it'd be versatile in spring. Thoughts?

the style of the jacket is really throwing me off. i personally would like it more if the print was used to make a blazer or some other simple jacket. but i think the combo of the print and the style is too much for me. but if you can make it work go for it.
I don't like it, reminds me of a flowerpot. I just think it's too much of a good thing, the collar and the belt would have made it perfect without the pattern.

Something was holding me back, and I think you all are right - too much floral or something. I do like the cut and fit though (it's hard to find trench styles that are fitted if you have a larger chest), so I might get it in a plain color. I like this blue.

Wow I really love it in that color and I agree with you about having the larger chest, I think that would look really good on someone who was "busty". If you get it let us know how it fits.

I don't really care for either coat but it must be the style of the collar that bothers me. It just seems so constricted or something. Its in Spring colors and florals yet it goes up to your neck. Kind of an oxymoron to me, it looks like a Winter trench style in Summer colors.
I don't think it would look good on someone with a larger chest, to me it would make them look fat. Open skin from an open color breaks up the color/fabric to make their top half not look big. JMO.

I kind of like the pattern on the first coat and I like the blue color on the second coat. What I don't like is the colllar. It reminds of the 'members only' jackets.

I know what you mean about the collar. It's weird in the pic, but I tried it on in the store, and you can leave the collar open and it is still fitted across the chest and through the hips, and cute with the belt tied --- just in case any of you other larger-chested girls are looking and like this coat (I'm a D).

I think the floral one is too busy and although the blue one is better because it doesn't have all of that pattern, it does make me notice the collar more which kind of reminds me of a neck brace.
