always wanted but am i too old

Definitely go and get that coat tomorrow morning as soon as the shop opens! Then you've got all day to prance about in it; enjoy every second of happiness you can squeeze from it!

If it makes you happy it is the coat for you!

I never think that I'm too old for fashion.
I dress in a toned down version of what is in fashion at the moment, have my shoulder length hair dyed with blonde streaks at the hairdressers every six weeks.
My Dd and Dgc and their friends usually mention how nice I look.
So if they approve, I must look ok!
Go for it ladasz, you'll look and feel fabulous.

Definitely buy it!
The coats this season are very attractive, many of them furry or fluffy, and lovely colours. Not expensive either if you go to the right stores.
I would buy one, I'm much older than you, but I've already got a similar one, bought ages ago.

Go for it. As long as it's going to keep you warm and snug why worry about others ? You'll get to a stage later on in years when comfort and not style will be key.

I was wearing all kinds of nifty clothes at 54 so make the most of it. I go out this weather looking set for the North Pole but don't care a jot so long as the cold doesn't get at me.

54 are you kidding you're a youngster, I'm 20 yrs older than you and I wouldn't think twice about buying something that I liked.
What does it matter what other people think anyhow. It's your life and life can be short make the most of it.{smile]

Never too old!

Not that I call 54 old!!

I'm 70 and in the cold weather I wear a 'fun fur' with polar bears on it. It's lovely and warm and makes people smile!

Did you get it?

I hope you did buy it

I've always wanted one of those shiny black raincoats that were fashionable in 1970 and which my mother said were vulgar. I could make do with a scarlet one, if black doesn't turn up soon in the charity shops.

Surely one of the perks of growing older is that we can wear what we want?

54,OP? that's not too old for anything! I must confess to hankering after a teddy bear coat, but the one I tried on made me look more like a polar bear. Possibly a darker colour would have been more appropriate for me.
You are 24 years younger than me. I hope you buy it and enjoy it for years to come.

Oh go for it! You're just young! BUT if you don't please could you post where you saw it? I've been looking at them but haven't seen one in a colour or length I liked. Mouldy green, mustard yellow and puce are not colours I go for. Yours sounds lovely!

They had a lovely one of these coats in NEXT when i was shopping with my daughter and we both fell in love with it but didnt buy as neither of us thought it would suit.But if you have wear it just wish i had the courage to.

Ladies in refrigerators? Lol

For goodness sake woman you are 54, not 104!!! Go and buy it immediately.

I hope you bought that coat !!!!!!! 54, wear what you like. Post a photo if you did buy it and if not why not!

Am I the only one who doesn't know what a Teddy Bear coat is? Anyone willing to post a picture, please..

Teddy bear coat, I presume is a coat with either faux black or brown fur ....am I right?

Btw....go for it !!

I hope the OP got one too, anyone know?

Ailsa43 Here you go! Furry, cosy coat.

And very nice you look too, BradfordLass72!

What's it like to be 54.
I can but only dream of days gone by.
Get to the shop young lady and buy that there coat.

Goodness, I agree with all the above BUY THE COAT!
You are in the prime of life, live it!
