It looks not so flattering, but is very, very warm. I wear it here only on the coldest of days or when engaging in snowplay (sounds kinky?) with my kids, but it is a necessity for those days.<BR/><BR/>However, I admit to being a puffy-coat hater when I see them on people and it's 65+ degrees out. It just looks damn silly then.Nancyhttp://mommaamme.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-1137859889945046432006-01-21T11:11:00.000-05:002006-01-21T11:11:00.000-05:002006-01-21T11:11:00.000-05:00OK, I may have to rethink my position on the puff coats. BUT, ladies who love the puff, I note that you are in climes that REALLY warrant the puffy coat. Mignon, I almost peed my pants upon reading your description. <BR/><BR/>Most of the puff I see here, where it is 60 DEGREES in JANUARY (global warming, anyone?), is the huge, silver or neon yellow variety that takes up 2 seats. However, I will confess that I see a girl on the bus who has a very understated puffy coat in a spring green color (my favorite). It actually shows that she has a shape, and I weakened in the face of cute puff. My steely exterior is melting!<BR/><BR/>But I still don't like the Wellies. Unless they're not patterned with red and pink bubbles. ;)<BR/><BR/>Re: BO in the Tube, I never noticed!

After reading the post and all the comments and nodding enthusiastically, I just have to fess up. I LOVE puffy coats. Of course it's below 0 here, which necessitates down, but my god, have you ever tried one on?? It's like being hugged by a million baby animals. Without the smell of urine!<BR/>Plus, exceptionally warm and not heavy.<BR/>There, I said it. I'm not proud, but I love the puff.Mignonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07716330276288396317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-1137852363213822742006-01-21T09:06:00.000-05:002006-01-21T09:06:00.000-05:002006-01-21T09:06:00.000-05:00I wholeheartedly agree with Brooke regarding commuters in London failing to use deoderant - or bathe - what's up with that?!

Unless, you cannot pay rent. <BR/><BR/>The boots are not okay for anyone over the age of 10.<BR/><BR/>I second Arabella's note on the sunglasses, they were ugly 20 years ago and Paris Hilton did nothing to make them look better this go around.Ditsy Chickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801447926703973796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693979.post-1137806868298417942006-01-20T20:27:00.000-05:002006-01-20T20:27:00.000-05:002006-01-20T20:27:00.000-05:00Did you see all of these lame-o people in one day?

What's with all the hate?<BR/><BR/>I'm right there with you on much of the above, and I especially hate the calf length skirt, regardless of what jacket it's paired with. That length does no one any favors. <BR/><BR/>But, as someone who lives in cold and snowy New England, let me defend the Ugg. I know they are so three years ago . . .but I sometimes wear them during my commute. Also, I have a chocolate brown, mid-thigh down coat, and it rocks. It does. It's warm AND close fitting, so I don't think I'm taking up too much valuable subway space. And I don't have any of those colorful wellies, but I would love a pair to wear on those rainy day commutes. This doesn't make me a fashion victim.

DON'T take up two seats when you are one skinny girl. Don't barge on the Metro before passengers have exited. Don't set your wet umbrella on the train seat.

Why? Do you need to look bigger than you are? Do you want to look like Missy Elliot in that "Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" video, which was long before she went on a diet and got all skinny and cute?" <BR/><BR/>Thank you. That's what I'm SCREAMING. They look like they're waiting for a flood. Which in Florida might be a good thing around Hurricane Season. I mean, they float right?
