Eek, I’ve been having a killer migraine for 3 days now. Probably because of stress and work overload - which in the end I guess is always worth it. I usually treat myself to some hardcore shopping in those situations, but even that has been nothing but frustrating so far. I have been dying to get myself a nice off-white coat for literally six months now. First, the prices during winter time were ridiculous! From $600 to well over $1,000 for a coat … I don’t think so! It’s one of those things that - I personally think - even if you can afford it, you should make it a point not to waste money like that. Especially as they’re getting made in China for a fraction of the price. Hello rip off!
So anyway, now that Spring time is slowly creeping in, Winter coats have finally gone on sale. Most of the ones I liked were marked down 33%. Pretty good, and my size was available. I first set my mind on a Kenneth Cole one, which isn’t a brand I particularly favor, but it looked pretty neat. Twenty four hours later, I got a call from Nordstrom telling me that the order had to be cancelled because they had run out of stock. Bummer! So then I decided to buy a DKNY coat instead, which was totally Russian princess style. Just too gorgeous for words. It was more expensive than the Kenneth Cole one, but I was slowly getting frustrated and I wanted my coat R.I.G.H.T.N.O.W. I was getting a bit nervous, as I could see yet another cancellation coming my way. And sure enough, they contacted me again the next morning to tell me that they had once again run out of stock. Wtf!! Do the Gods of shopping not like me anymore?
So now I’m here with a migraine and no coat. And I really really want my off-white coat, because clothes can cure anything! Migraine, depression, cancer, ANYTHING. But it doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen any time this year, so guess I’ll just have to wait for next Winter
