Once upon a time there was a weekend fashionista whom was hopelessly searching for the coat of her dreams. A warm, rich, red coat. A coat that says lady. That brings some color her winter days.
One day, after turning the Internet up and down, spending countless hours on shopping sites and never finding the coat that will be dear to her heart, she opened her daily dose of RueLaLa… And there it was. Looking at her straight in the eyes: the little red CK coat.
After a few days of hardly contained impatience, she finally opened the black & white box. Trembling with excitement (and a little bit of fear that it wouldn’t fit perfectly right), she ripped the plastic wrap and ran her fingers on the warm wool. Quality check: success (despite the under $100 price point).
She put in on in a hurry, closed the buttons all the way up, cinched the belt around her waist. Size check: success.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Everything was perfect: the length, just below the knee that will cover her more conservative garments; the color, a rich raspberry red that complements her skin and hair tones; the collar (ah… the collar) that gives it its feminine edge. Style check: success.
It was a not-so-cold night when she took the new coat out for it’s first official outing, but that’s when she found the best of all about that coat: the big huge collar brings not only style points, but is the perfect place to hide/protect the hand that holds the purse handle when trotting around Center City.
That’s what I call a shopping home-run!
