New Purchases! | Long coat sale and new spring shoes
I recently scored on a major coat sale this past week and I NEEDED to make a blog post about it to let you all know about my finds so you too, can take advantage of the sale!
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I recently started a new job – which brought the need for nicer work coats. Before this purchase, I only had ONE nice work coat (which is too small today and it’s just an itchy one) that I bought while I was working in Texas. It was never a favorite, but I had limited options.
Right now, Nordstrom is having a sale on their long coats, so I had a plan to buy three of them, hoping at least one of them would fit me. I feel like I always have a hard time finding good coats for my petite frame, but let me tell you.. I got pretty lucky with this purchase – which totally backfired on my plan.
I bought this brown coat from Ralph Lauren (31% off) – did not have high expectations, but it’s definitely a fave! Fits well on my petite frame with a size 2. It’s made of a wool mix, so it’s not very itchy.
The second coat I got is also from Ralph Lauren (50%) – I swear I ordered it in black, but it ended up being in the color “midnight,” which I don’t even see listed on the website. I got it in a size XS and it looks great on tied and opened. This is my favorite coat from my entire Nordstrom order.
The third coat I got is from Ellen Tracy (40% off) – I ordered it in a size small, but it felt oversized and the material was very itchy. This is the one that is getting returned. Overall, it’s a cute coat! It’s just not cute on me.
I ended up ordering another coat on Amazon and it’s a great find! I got this coat in a size small in the dark camel color and it fits great! It’s very soft and extremely comfortable. I was afraid it would look too casual, but it works with both workwear and casual wear – a definite must-have.
Almost forgot to talk about the shoes! I ordered my second pair of Rothy’s pointed-toe flats with their new spring design and I know it’s cliche, but I’m OBSESSED. I love it with both jeans and dress pants. I always recommend going up a half-size in ALL of Rothy’s shoes. If you’re a new customer, you can get $20 off any product, just click here!
