Once upon a time, I thought this coat was the hottest number around.....

| Taken last Friday |
Circa 1997 (in my JCPenney shoe department days) I was browsing the coat clearance on a break. Found that red gem. Made it mine.
I really did think it was the best thing going in outerwear. Maybe the crazy discount ($150 for $25) had me. Maybe the real fur trimmed hood was it? Wait, it was waterproof too. So many great features. And it was red.....my favorite color.
It was such a good deal, and so fetching, that I talked my sister into getting one also......

Anyway, this was the number I was strutting down Grand in (hood up), when I took my fall into the street.
At least the oncoming vehicle could see me.

And so here we are today. You might be asking, "Why do you still have that thing? Why?"
Two words: recess duty.
Best teacher coat ever.
This is the greatest coat I've ever seen. In my JCP days I also bought some mislead fashion choices due to extreme discount. I would love to see you fall in this coat and at recess in it! Love the pic circa 1997 too funny!!
ReplyDeleteHey, that coat could have saved you serious injuries. You should see the coat history I had during our stay in Minn. Fashion meant nothing -- surviving the cold was everything. I love your red coat. Stay warm! Jan
