Thunderhead

Coat- BB Dakota; Blouse- Diane Von Furstenberg; Boots- Dollhouse








Best.coat.ever. The minute I laid eyes on it I knew I had to have it. I originally found it for $128 on both Urban Outfitters and Nasty Gal's websites, but being the thrifty person I am, I always do price comparisons to get the best deal. Not that I wouldn't have forked over the money, because I love the coat that much...but I still like to get a deal when I can. And as luck would have it, I just so happened to find it for $109 at LuLus.com. They offered free shipping over $75, and I had a 20% discount code, bringing my total to $94...plus since they're located in Chico, a mere 45 minutes from me, my package arrived the next day. It pays to shop around. It also comes in a more subtle black and blue, but the main attraction for me, other than the huge fur trimmed hood, amazing print and extreme coziness, is the color combo of browns, orange and green. This is definitely a coat that I can hang on to for quite some time. FYI, Lulu's is now sold out of the coat, and so is UO, but you can still get it at Nasty Gal's site.

I think someone is due for a dye job, no? Considering going back to the bangs as well. We shall see.

    I opened up your blog and a big long niiiiicee came literally out of my mouth when I saw your coat! I WANT. Gosh I would love to be a thrifty person but there is always that voice in my head saying "what if it runs out?" "I know your broke right now but next week your size is not going to be there" So naturally I am still broke but on debt. I pay that as soon as possible though...before buying anything else.. but it is still a problem!

    p.s. Nice booties! And that DVF shirt is amazing, love the colour and material. New follower of course ;)

    Loving the coat!! I too was thinking that I have to have that coat, the patterns are just awesome especially the fur hood!! I dont know why I decided not getting it, I think its because winter is just so mild here and I have enough coat to keep me warm, but you look so cute in it :-)
