Aside from the metallic blue camera bag and the "dreaded" scales messenger, I found a beautiful C coat. Long story short, it's the coat of my dreams, even in a teensy size it fit, but I needed to try to find a better deal than NM. I did the Bloomies route and opened a new account, got discount, no tax, gift cards, coupons, etc. I ordered it two sizes up for a good shoulder fit, but I know it will need alterations. What else could be better -- a Chanel brooch. For some reason, I've shied away from the jewelry, because it's a bit much for me, but on this particular coat, it is very plain, black, no real trim except a button at the throat and on the cuffs. I asked the SA to pick out a beautiful brooch to go with. So, she called yesterday, described the pin, said it looked gorgeous with the coat and it was being shipped yesterday. And, the gift cards that I earned paid for the pin and there are still gift cards left over!!
So, here's the blind faith -- I haven't even tried on the coat in the real size and I have no idea what the pin looks like -- I have never met the SA in person, she just happened to answer the phone when I called about the coat. Somehow, I know this will work out and be beautiful.
I have actually been searching for a true A-line swing style coat for most of my adult life, which is a long time.
So, stay tuned to see what I got! I can't wait to see what she chose for me.
