grab your coat and get your hat...

I've been avoiding buying a maternity size winter coat. I just didn't want to shell out the cash for something I might only wear for a month. I had hoped to get by on layers of sweaters and fleece but nothing in my current wardrobe can actually button around by ever expanding girth. A quick trip to Old Navy yesterday solved all of my problems.


I had tried on this coat on a previous visit but couldn't justify paying full price for it knowing that I wouldn't be wearing it for very long. But yesterday, the sign above the rack made my heart skip a beat. 50% off. And they had one left in my size. Excellent! And I look pretty good in it too, if I do say so myself. In fact, it highlights the baby belly so nicely that three people offered me their seat on the subway this morning. All at the same time! A worthwhile purchase indeed.

...hold this thread as I walk away...

I love a bargain! I hate paying full price, especially for clothing. So check out this sweater that I bought at Old Navy for $10!


Seriously, $10! I know, the picture doesn't look like much. But check out the cable detail.



Needless to say, I'm quite happy with this purchase and proudly showed it off at work today. I'm tempted to go back and buy another in a different colour...
