I would be worried about:
1. the coat getting destroyed in just one NYC winter
2. being a target of muggers etc
3. realizing 10 years down the road that pissed money down the toilet when I should have invested it
...you're going to spend $4500 on a COAT? Sheesh. That would be the down payment on a pretty nice car, or better left in a CD account or something. Also, be careful- some people (PETA) have been known to throw paint on fur coats like that.
If shes living in NYC the coat is more useful than a car.
It looks nice for a formal night out in NYC, but if you ever move to a warm climate it will be stuck back in a closet.
I'm going to be going back to school in NYC next fall and would like a warm and glamorous coat. What do you think of this coat-does it look tasteful and not matronly or tacky? I don't want to stick out like a soar thumb(from my understanding and observations people still wear fur in nyc quite a bit)
I am going to assume that you are a YOUNG student who has not been in the work force for too long. If you weren't I'd say "to hell" with what others think ~ if you really want the coat and can part with the money comfortably enough, then go for it.
But to a young student I wouldn't encourage it. It may be warm but you could get tired of the look well before you get your money out of it, and you'll definitely need the $ for something else more important.
The OP would be much better off to get a stylish yet versatile coat in a luxurious fabric because she is going to look a bit silly dragging that fur for pizza or to the movies. And unless she is planning on taking a cab everywhere she will be a target on the subway with the fur.
As others have said... fur coats are for when you are 60+, living on park avenue and going to the opera in the winter. You are going to look super pretentious in a fur coat at your age.
