You may wonder why this is so exciting, but for the past three Januarys (Januaries?) I’ve been meaning to buy a new coat. I have two winter coats – my “it’s-seriously-cold-outside” Eddie Bauer coat, which is really a guy’s coat and is stuffed with feathers from eighteen geese, and my weeny corduroy coat that I bought four years ago for forty dollars, in January. That’s when I learned that coats go on sale after Christmas, but I let too many coats go unbought by being so cheap. I almost lost out again this time. On Wednesday I saw a very nice coat with toggles – toggles! – but it was 70 bucks and I wasn’t willing to part with that. I went back today and, of course, it was gone. This one was there, though, and it’s from the same company. I liked it fine, and it turned out to be 50 dollars! Woo-hoo!
Now, the question is, belt or no belt? I will probably never, ever belt this, and I don’t like how long it hangs on the one side. Pulling it even looks pretty dang dorky. So, people, the decision is yours:
Belt?
No belt. (I’m on the phone with Brad during this photo shoot.)
