Lucy + Her Yellow Coat

I tagged this in collecting, because one day I hope to have a substantial coat collection.
Anyways, so I've had my eye on this coat for a while (if you want to purchase it, it's one of things on my wishlist in my last post). It was just so much money. I'm not cheap--I have expensive taste even--but it's hard for me to spend big sums of money on just one thing. BUT I need a coat since I'll be living in Washington State next year.
I did actually have a beautiful coat last year, but I severely overestimated my size and got a UK26 when I'm really a UK20. That's a pretty substantial difference. It was so pretty and a gorgeous pink, but I had to give it up because I would spend double what I spent to get it taken in or it would just sit in my closet since it was really unflattering to me. I listed it on eBay, but I decided just to give it to my Aunt Natalie.
Wow, I got off subject. Anyways, this coat has really been a big thing on my mind. I was like, do I just go ahead and get it or do I slowly put back money to get it so it won't be such a big spend? There was always a voice in my head saying GET IT GET IT IT'S GOING TO SELL OUT. Well, last week-ish, it went on sale. I mean major sale. Forty dollar difference. I texted my mom going crazy--I mean this coat was $130-something and now it is at, like, $92. My mom told me to sit on it and that maybe there would be a Black Friday sale. Sometimes, it really kills me not to spend money for long periods of time. I think I'm a borderline shopping addict. BUT I waited. I wake up Thursday and there's a coupon code in my e-mail account from Asos. That meant there would be an additional twenty dollars off the coat.
Yes. Yes, I know. Hallelujah.
Long story-short, I bought that coat. I bought that coat so hard. (Well. Actually my mom purchased it, so I won't be getting it until Christmas. Story of my life. But I don't even care, as long as I get it.)

Hey, another thing. Has anyone ever noticed that Asos clothing runs kind of big? Or is that just me? Every time I get a dress from there that is my correct size (I'm a size 18 here, so I should be a UK22), it ends up being really big. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I downsized for this purchase though. I was thinking that my chest may fill it out a little too much, but I'm planning on getting a breast reduction pretty soon, so I don't think my chest will be a problem area for very much longer.
