“Ooh - love my new coat”

“Ooh, I love this coat. My husband forced me to buy it! Actually, it was an impromptu gift. We first saw it after Christmas in the Sierra Trading Post store. It was [$] then. I didn't spring for it, but kept thinking about it, and even looked it up on Cole Haan website. We went to STP store the other day (it's now May) because I was looking for ANOTHER Cole Haan jacket that I saw online. They didn't have that one, but there was my leather jacket, hanging on the rack in just my size. Since I bought the OTHER Cole Haan coat by mail order from the store, I felt I had to pass on the leather one. But the next morning, my husband said "Are you going to buy your leather jacket?" No, I said. "Well, I'll buy it for you." Then I had to get it. That's how good it looks - that my husband would be thinking about how great it looked on me, a middle-aged woman. I wore it for the first time yesterday to work. I thought I would only wear it casually with jeans, but it looked great with an Ann Taylor skirt, blouse and pumps for the office. The leather is extremely soft (I have the cognac color, not black) and the fit flattering. I don't agree with other posters about the sizing - I have broad shoulders, and a 10 fit me perfectly, which is my usual size. Unfortunately, now that the weather is warming here, and I'm leaving on a trip (that's why I bought other jacket), sadly it may be months before I wear it again.”
