Over the weekend, a January miracle happened – it was warm enough that I didn’t need a coat. So what did I do? Went coat shopping, obviously. I was actually in Forever 21 looking for something for a costume party, but this baby was under $60 and I’ve been wanting a long, classic camel coat for a while. Check back with me in a year to find out if the quality matches the cheap price tag, but at least for now, it looks and feels a lot more expensive than $60. This forever-29-year-old is pleased.

I know I’ve gone on record warning everyone about the dangers of going straight for the clearance rack, but that’s exactly what led to my buying this dress. Look, if I wrote the rule, I can break it. Sometimes you just have to buy a pretty dress for no reason. This dress is actually even prettier than it looks here – the sleeves are sheer and fluttery and princessy – but I wanted to wear it to work so I added my most serious looking lawyer jacket. But then I still felt too dressy, which is why I added these kind of punk rock boots. The moral of this story is: if I hadn’t made an impulse purchase from the clearance rack, I never could have lived out my dreams of being a royal rock star attorney. And that would have been a shame.
