Cute or Fugly?

I saw this in the latest issue of Shop, Etc. and it was really cute on the model, but it kinda looks weird in this pic.  Thoughts?  Also, how is the quality from Newport News?  I don't think I've ordered anything from there before.

I voted cute since the large collar and bow keep it from looking like Dracula's cape.

So funny, I have been eyeing that and thinking about ordering it. I think it's cute and chic.

I kind of cringed when I opened this before I got to the picture - I always hate to vote "fugly" but I think it's completely cute. I'm a sucker for big sleeves though.

NN quality is all over the board. I think the only way to know for sure is to order it.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I would avoid wearing black with it though.

I like it and think it's cute, but NN quality is not very good IMO.

I ended up getting it.  Hopefully it's cute IRL.  It looked more like a fitted jacket with bigger sleeves on the model in Shop Etc, and less like a shapeless cape.  Eh, if it's not cute IRL, I'll just send it back.

I will, but unfortunately it won't ship until 9/16 or something totally ridiculous.

OK, this is SO FREAKIN WEIRD.

I got some packages in the mail today. I didn't really bother to look who they were addressed to (because they're always for me). Anyway, I opened this gray bag and realized that it wasn't something I ordered - and it was THIS JACKET. It's actually in the size I would have ordered too - how weird is that?

So, I tried it on (i know, I'm awful) and it's too big - this thing runs REALLY big.

The quality is good though.

The other thing is, the sleeves are connected to the sides -- it's kind of odd.

Haha..now I have to go return this to my neighbor.

That is weird, Kitty!  Good to know the quality is okay.  I ordered a small, so we'll see.  Was it cute or did the sleeves being connected ruin it?
