indiana_jI finally, after listening to my father's voice in my head, broke down and purchased a winter jacket. Up to this point, the warmest thing I owned for winter was a heavy hooded sweatshirt that my folks had purchased for me in Oxford. Not exactly the height of comfort for the winter or the height of fashion.
I hit three stores. Banana Republic had gorgeous jackets that were well beyond my ability to dip into my wallet (oh man, but I fell in love with this silk green dress they had there *sigh*); Gap had stuff more reasonably priced but they had a horrible selection; and, finally, my savior Old Navy.
Not only did they have a huge selection but for this week only, they were having a 50% off all outerwear sale. I might go back on Friday to pick up some gloves and a scarf. And after much trying on, I finally found an awesome jacket.
Black, falls to about mid-calf (one a taller person, it would be knee length, I think), and is double breasted. It also has a raised "fake belt" thing (I don't know what it's really called), which I like. But the best part? The absolute best part?
It's a supervillain long coat. When I button it up all the way, the wide collar flips up to pretty much cover my chin to my nose. It's awesome
And at like $48 with the sales price it makes me very happy.
