Update

I know this is totally frivolous and that nobody really cares, but I ended up getting the jacket below, thanks to my sister/personal shopper, Bekka. A few nights ago, the phone rang at midnight and I thought someone had died. Why else would anyone call that late? It turns out Bekka was at her mall in Phoenix (9 p.m. her time) and spied said jacket. There were two left and she wanted to get the go-ahead to buy it for me (the other for her, of course). After some pictures sent via cellphone, we okayed the deal and it ended being a bonus that the jackets were in a pretty pinky salmon color instead of the khaki in the picture.

The best part, the jackets were originally $168, down to $19.99. A cool 90% off. Gotta love a good sale.

It is a very cute jacket and I can't believe you got it for 90% off! You can't do much better than that!

I'm so jealous. That jacket is so cute. I called my local jcrew but they didn't have any left. Darn.

Ha. You inspired me to try harder. I called the Chandler Mall and they had one in my size. I'll be receiving it in the mail soon. Thanks for helping me to be a little more stylish Nollie. I hope you guys are doing well. We need to coordinate a trip to AZ. If you are going in August, October or November, let us know (yeah, lots of trips planned).

Holla. Again, sorry about the call at midnight. In my defense, it was a weekend, and I thought Andy and you were cool enough to be up that late. You're welcome for the compliment AND the jacket. Feel free to start pimping my personal shopping skills to your friends because we all know I am a shopping slut.

So cute - I wish I had one! Oh, except I live in Florida now where it's about 93 degrees and 93% humidity - will I ever get to wear all the cute jackets and sweaters I stocked up on while living in Boston? I hope to move back to the four seasons before long!

How can you say no one cares! I was super sad with the original post, so how exciting, and what a steal! I am a huge fan of jackets, and especially when under $20.00! Nice find Bekka!

Amanda Morgan said...

OK, I think I need to employ Bekka's shopping skills. Make her my personal stylist/shopper. Stylish and frugal - that's a killer combination!

Bekka said...

Oh stop. Okay go on.
