I saw an beautiful dark purple rain coat in the window of Banana Republic last week. I also saw a cord jacket in the Gap. I want both, and there is only about a month of cold weather here that would require either of them. LOL
Where we are, the winter coat rack at the Goodwill and other Thrift shops are always full of near new stuff, ,most for under $30 each. 5 years ago I saw a beautiful leather and suede patchwork, fully lined, winter coat for $49. It would have been at LEAST $300 in Wilson's. AND I DID NOT BUY IT! because I figured I would never fit into the XL on the tag.
You guessed it...it would fit me now. grrr!
