  1. A nice look for the DoE. Like the color of this coat, also the coat itself.

  4. Le vert olive de cette robe-manteau sied à ravir avec sa blondeur !

  5. The coatdress is too long and there is too much fabric in the skirt.
    The color of the off white/light beige boots does not match the khaki/olive green coat. The cognac boots she wore with the black leather dress lately, would have been better.

    1. I agree. As usual, I think this coat is too long. I liked the color of her gloves with the coat, and thought she would be wearing shoes or boots in a similar color. When I got down to the full view, I found the color of her boots jarring.

    2. Agree with you both. The coat is a lovely colour and style but the boots spoil it. If she had worn non slouchy chocolate brown boots, it would have made all the difference. She’s as lovely as ever in spite of the odd sartorial choices

  7. The DoE looks very stylish in this coatdress. I feel a different pair of boots (with a small heel) in a different colour would even further improve the look.

  8. She looks incredibly frumpy. The belt from the original coat design would have done wonders for this look.

  9. I LOVE the coat and surprisingly I even like the length. I'd only swap the boots for something less light and maybe consider adding the belt again, as it really adds to the design.
