I need a new coat. All my others are either too light weight or I got in college (which usually means that they are one to three sizes too small). I never gained the freshman fifteen…I lost weight when I went away to school. The food just couldn’t compete with mom’s…plus there were other funner things to do – like follow cute boys around and hope they spit out their gum so I could peel it off the asphalt sidewalk and stick it in my collection…it was alphabetized…and in chronological order…and sorted by flavor…go ahead, ask me how I found out what was peppermint 🙂

Back to the coat issue – the cold weather finally hit Georgia…which is nice because now the winter actually feels like winter (minus snow or anything remotely romantic like that). And then my friend Vicky – most people know her as Victoria – sent me a great code to knock an additional 50% off my coat purchase. Gotta love Vicky!

So now I need your help – vote for one of the following to let me know which coat I should get. Oh and fyi – I need to know what color too!!! I don’t have a black one – so keep that in mind.

Option #3 – comes in black, winter white & lipstick red Originally $170 – on sale for $80 (only $40 after discount)

• Single-breasted. Double breasted makes me look like a linebacker for the GreenBay Packers.
• Slit pockets. Bulky, obvious or square pockets located directly on my pelvic region make me look really hippy and not that flashing-peace-signs-and-tie-dye-my-bell-bottoms-kinda hippy.
• No belts. I really don’t have much of a waist…it’s like my ribs end and my hip bones are half an inch below them…doesn’t leave a whole lotta room for a slim midsection. Belts are just wasted on me…they don’t make me look like I have a waist…they just add additional fabric and make me look wider in the midsection region. yikes.
