My coat buying skills are in question. Previous winter coats have been OK, but I've had nothing but trouble trying to find a coat I like that won't make me poor. I don't like this sort of challenge. With my current coat wearing thin (it's actually wearing thin), I really need a new coat.
Last weekend I bought a coat. I thought it was OK. I showed my friend, who delicately said it looked too big for me, that the pockets were needlessly large. I guess I can see his point, though not in a mirror (still don't have a full-length), but returning it means I have to start the search again. Tomorrow I will attempt to fix my error and spend more time looking in a mirror in good light.
Really, this sounds like a lame complaint, but it occupies large amounts of my non-work hours. Especially when the temperature drops and I have to wrap myself in blankets to stay warm. (I am too cheap to turn on my heat since it's only the start of October and it probably won't warm up again until next May, which is... 8 months away. This isn't Edmonton; I don't have to be warmed by artificial heat just yet.) [I've pulled my Bay blanket out already, so I'm guessing I'll have to pull out the down duvet by December. Good thing I kept all those warming devices, though still don't have a water bottle, though those things scare me just slightly.]
Unrelated, I'm working on resumes this week. I just need to do something different for a while, I think, to figure out where I should be. It's a new self-improvement kick, though I'm not really improving much; just applying for jobs and talking to a shrink. Though, obviously, I'm also attempting to improve my fashion sense, but it still seems to be a somewhat wrong.
