Style: About A Coat

 Nevermind the outfit....Its all about the Coat!
 Coat, Shirt, Jeans and Earrings: Thrifted
Booties: Target 
I saw the jacket. I swooned. I snatched it up and tried it on. I LOVED IT. I took it to the register. I was eyeballed by the cashier *up and down went her eyeballs*
Cashier: $25
Me: For Faux Fur???????????
Cashier: Do you want it or not?

I smiled politely at the Salvation Army Cashier, hung up the coat and left....SADLY :( 

2 Days later a good friend of mine went to the same store. She saw a jacket and thought I would love it. She texts me and says come over because she got a great jacket for me. Present????? Im there.

I enter her house. There lying on the bed is the EXACT same jacket that I wanted so badly. She had a different cashier than I did and purchased the $25 jacket for $7!
 Thank you Nat! You made my winter :)

    I live in Alabama...I have great clothing prices but not much else.The clothes I buy are there because most people here dont want them. You live in the windy city. I think thats the trade off. Come on down. I will show you around :)

    Wow, what an awesome friend!!! You know, I have noticed the same thing in Salvation Army, when they price things ridiculously high for a thrift store. I am so glad you got it, it looks amazing on you! :)
    Good luck!
