My perfect coat

Here is my hunt for a coat/jacket to combat the cold weather.
I went to many other stores during my hunt, but most of the coats were just so big that I knew they will not fit at all without even trying them on.

There were two coats/jackets that I tried on from Forever 21 that I wanna show you guys though:

#1: Peacoat W/Leatherette Trim

(Available online)

Price: $53.80
Size: S
Pros: I really liked the style and colors of this coat. It was not very heavy.
Cons: Looked decent from the front, but looks stupidly large on me when I turn to the side. It made me look like I had a hunch back or something D=
Decision: Did not buy.

#2: Perforated Crop Biker Jacket
(Available online)

Price: $41.80
Size: 2
Pros: When I saw "UK 2", I grabbed this and tried it on right away because I have never came across a UK size 2 at Forever 21 before and I know I am a UK 2 at H&M. I am so attracted to these nude/brown/warm colors.
Cons: Sleeves were too long and too wide. The back also puffs out because it is too big (sorry I forgot to take a picture of me wearing it on the side).
Decision: Did not buy.

Thank god for kid sizes because I found my perfect coat at Juicy Couture! Hahaha!

#3: Fur Collar Tweedy Coat
Color: Smoky Charcoal

Price: $248 -> $169.99
Size: Girls 12
Pros: It fits me!!! And I absolutely love the style - it is so chic and elegant looking, and doesn't look childish. I love the cute puffy sleeves and the bubble-look of the coat. And it was on sale XD
Cons: Because part of the material is wool, it does give me an itch here and there, but that's no biggie.
Decision: Purchased and loving it to death.

Because I am loving this coat so much, I will show you more pics of it.

Here's what the coat looked like brand new:

Fuzzy faux fur collar.

Very pretty buttons.

Came with a little box that includes an extra pretty button inside.

I also bought a more casual-looking jacket from Giordano, but I forgot to post about it.
I'll update with pics of that jacket soon =]

Thanks for reading!

Stores I haven't been to for years

You know when you switch over to that crazy shopping mode? And you go into almost every single store you see because you just feel like shopping?
That happened.
I went into stores I have not stepped foot in for years, literally, because I never found anything I liked in those stores. Different story today, though; I actually found stuff that I wanted to try on and may potentially buy, haha.

All the stores were having sales for Black Friday.

#1: Frilled V-Neck Sweater

(from Jacob)

Price: $44.90 (Sale --> $29.99)
Size: XS 
Pros: I liked the color and length of the sweater. I also liked that it was on the thinner side so that it can be tucked into bottoms. Very soft.
Cons: The frills looked a little awkward - even thought that was what interested me at first look.
Decision: Did not buy.

#2:  Shrug Wrap Cardigan

(from Jacob)

Price: $79.00 (Sale --> $49.99)
Size: XS 
Pros: It looked cute from the front. Simple, easy to match.
Cons: From the side, this cardigan gives no shape. It also made me look shorter than I already am.
Decision: Did not buy.

*********************************************

#3: Long Sleeve Scoop Neck Sweater

(from the GAP)

Price: $44.95 (Sale --> $39.95 in store / $30.00 online)
Size: XS 
Pros: Loved how simple this was - both in style and color. It had a line down the back, which made me look more slim for some reason - or at least I thought it did. It was also really soft and comfy. I can wear it by itself or layer it.
Cons: It fits longer on me than it should. But that's no biggie.
Decision: Will purchase online, since it's cheaper online haha.

*********************************************

#4: True Black Peacoat

(from GAP Kids)

Price: $88.00 (but is $78.00 online - I don't understand)
Size: L
Pros: I was so happy to find a coat that fits me nicely. I thought this peacoat was really cute. Perfect length for me too!
Cons: It looks a little unflattering from the side.
Decision: Will probably buy this if I can't a better fitted coat soon. In need of warm winter outerwear.

*********************************************

Lesson learned today: You may find things you like in stores you don't usually shop at XD

After the experience today, I may just check these stores once in a while now from now on. Haha.

Sale at Plenty

There is a Black Friday Sale event going on at Plenty. For those of you who like the store and have the store around your area, check out their blog post for a list of the brands on sale and how much discount there is for the brands =]

#1: Monk & Lou Trench Coat

Price: $225 (25% off --> $168.75)
Size: XXS 
Pros: I have always wanted a trench coat like this and they have it in a taupe color - I love neutral tones. The length is surprisingly not extremely long on me. Shoulders and waist were fitted nicely.
Cons: Although not extremely long on me, it is still longer than I'd like. As you can see, the sleeves are too wide and too long. The chest area is also too big.
Decision: Considering. I need to look into how much alterations would be and whether or not the alterations can be done.

#2: Adidas Firebird Track Top
(Availabe on Adidas website)

Also tried on the sharp blue color

Price: $60 (50% off --> $30.00)
Size: XS
Pros: I was so attracted to the olive green color. I tried on the sharp blue color as well, which I also liked, but I liked the olive color better. This top is pretty thin and will be great to wear on top of a tank or something in the summer or when running errands.

Cons: It is very sporty and casual, which isn't my usual style.

Decision: Purchased.

Also bought a nice sweater for a Christmas gift at the store =]
