The Jacket

This pic is of me at Nordstrom in the Hinge Gathered Leather Jacket in Caramel. 

Two months ago I tried on these beauty but didn't buy it.  $300 bucks for a leather jacket in the summer seemed crazy.  Problem is, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

So I did what any crazed fashionista would do, I went online to Nordstrom to see if had gone on sale.  Guess what, it had, 40% off.  Although I still wasn't sure if I should buy it.  

So, I put it in my shopping bag online and waited a few more days. 

Until last night when I went online to buy it and it showed that the item was no longer available  Eek. 

I was in despair.   That's when I decided to call Nordstrom today and see if they could find one at a store. 

Thanks to Audrey in the TBD dept because she found the jacket within a minute and my order was done within five.  My new coat will arrive to me within three business days.
