Patience....

Ok for a piece of clothing that I love, I am usually not that patient.  But for the Idra Skirted Pea Coat that appeared at Anthropologie 2 years ago...I was.  I loved it but HATED the price.  Since then, I have seen it pop up on Ebay for well over $100-.  Note this is not a winter coat. It is just a cute pea coat...plain and simple.  Today...I was looking around on ebay and stumbled across it again...in the brown which I do so love and someone had a low starting bid.  Could it be?!?!?!  Yes...I won, first bid!  That goes to show that patience does prevail sometimes!  I will say a trick to ebay that I learned from a reader is that bids ending mid week and during work hours tend to go for less money than those items closing when more people are home. Makes sense but I never had thought of it that way.  I saved over 50% by being patient and now my dream coat is on it's way to me!  Just in time for my date coming up with my husband:)  If any of you know me, I adore my husband. He makes me laugh, calms the storms, and is genuinely the most caring, loving man.  We go out to dinner every month or so and I like to look my best when we do get to go out alone.  Since the holidays and all of these trips my husband has been making for work, our dates are running around 2 months apart.  Soon...we will remedy that;)  Looking forward to my favorite food (thai), my favorite person, and a night out on the town!!!

Let me know if you have scored any new exciting deals! I will model the coat for you when it comes in!  Hope it is gorgeous on me:)
