This year I decided I am going to find a jacket I love and hope its under 100. Well lo and behold on Lands End they have a new Diamond quilted down jacket.. the word jacket is important in this because parkas are too long and make me feel bigger than I am .. I need no more help with that thanks! So, I took to the lappy toppy and researched the reviews and overall people seems to like it, it's not too puffy, but its still warm and stylish. The one downside is that the reviews say there is some shedding since it's a down coat, but isn't that to be expected with anything "down"?
So a couple days ago I was going to purchase said coat but, I ended up sick and never got around to it on Cyber Monday.. they had it 30% off. I was kind of upset but, knowing Lands End they have a sale pretty much every week. Boy am I glad I waited because I got an email today from Lands End that had a 40% off one item and Free Shipping!
So, I just went for it and ordered it! The hardest part was picking which color I want. After much reading reviews and going back and forth between Red (which reviews said was fire engine red. Also, the color of Avery's coat) I didn't want that bright or to have mini & me matching coats. Then I liked brown since it's safe and if I ever get these awesome Sorel boots it would work well together. But, let's face it: Brown is boring.. So, the next option was white or as they had it labeled Ivory which also kinda boring but, reminds me of being a Snow Bunny. Then there was another option I was considering it was labeled Deep Amethyst. I am not really a purple girl but, everyone on the reviews was raving that it was a great color and was not actually purple but more of a cross between blue jeans and purple.
I wasn't quite sure what I thought of that, will it look good with jeans if it is jean colored? will it match my dream boots?
will my hair color go good with it? will my makeup have to change.. Yes, I think all these thoughts! I mean, This is a coat I will be wearing pretty much everyday and since it's not your common brown, my logical side had to say WHOA!! let's think about this coat named Amethyst. After much internal debate between boring brown and adventurous amethyst. I took the plunge and ordered it!
But, not before I google image searched what it actually looks like in outdoor lighting. See for yourself. I hope its as amazing as this model makes it look! ;-) Now just have to wait for the guy in brown to make its debut!
But now I think these boots might go better with it, even though they are pretty vivid, and not what I would normally order.. they might be cute?!
