The Thrill of the Hunt For The Perfect Camel Coat!

I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s Eve celebration! For tonight’s post, I wanted to talk about my search for the perfect wool, camel colored coat. I have been seeing adorable camel coats all over Pinterest and social media, and was determined to find my own. I dragged my boyfriend to Nordstrom first (needed his car to get there – poor guy) and started my search. I found the most gorgeous camel coat there, however it was way out of the budget I was willing to spend (although it was on sale). It was originally around $1,050 and was on sale for $680 – so if any of you are looking to splurge on a nice camel coat, take a look at this one from Nordstrom by Fleurette.

After reluctantly leaving Nordstrom and the gorgeous coat behind (or should I say, my boyfriend had to drag me out) – I decided to head to Macy’s as I had a gift card and thought I may have better luck finding a more reasonably priced coat. My boyfriend was even getting in on it – pointing out any camel colored coats/jackets that he spotted. It was after walking through Macy’s for maybe 10 minutes – I caught out of the corner of my eye the perfect colored camel coat, which turned out to be 50% off from BCBG! I had to try it on, and instantly fell in love. The price ended up coming to just $114 since it was on sale, and with my gift card I ended up paying just $14. Coming from $700 – I felt pretty proud of myself (and my boyfriend) for finding such a good deal!

Moral of the story is – don’t settle on the highest price or the first thing you find that you love, you can always come back to it, always shop around for the better price!
