True story: A few weeks ago I found this coat at Banana Republic in the mall. I tried it on and it fit great- but I wasn't sure about buying it. I tend to be impulsive when shopping alone, so I really tried to think this one out. I though to myself, I am looking for a new winter coat, a warm new winter coat. But then I thought, I will wait, I don't need it now (even though it was on SUPER sale). I went back 2 days later with my aunt to show her and get her opinion... and it was gone. I couldn't believe it, I searched everywhere, every rack. I figured that it was indeed the cutest coat ever and someone else (wiser than I) snatched up that great deal immediately.
Stupid me I thought... and ever since then, I have been on the prowl for a new warm winter coat. Again, I do kind of need one, but moreover I have just become obsessed with the idea since my tragic B.R. outerwear mistake. I found a great thinsulate (that means warm) coat on J.Crew.com and it was even in TALL! but it was a little more expensive. So, I sat on the idea of this new internet find and surfed some more throughout the week to find myself another deal. Well, here's where it gets ugly. I pull out the computer tonight to show Ben the J.Crew coat (because I was totally unsuccessful elsewhere)... I knew he would surely help me make this decision. So, he likes the coat, in all of its long woolen thinsulate glory, and approves the purchase. Great! But before I know it, literally the ONE coat in MY size disappears right before my cyber-fixed eyes. The page refreshes itself, and there is only one coat left on the page... 3 sizes too big.
I keep refreshing the page. Thinking that this other tall 20 something woman will change her mind and take that coat out of her virtual shopping cart.
No luck. So I came to blog instead. I had to let it out. As of right now, this is the single most unfortunate situation on my Monday evening... I have heard of buyer's remorse, but this is a bad case of didn't-buy-it remorse.

Good things don't come easy girlfriend.
Well, it WAS the worst thing that happened Monday until you accidentally parked in the wrong airport parking lot.
How frustrating!!! I'm looking for a coat too, but haven't had any luck either. They're just so pricey.
So sorry to hear you are having a"warm coat" dilemma...I have a solution, move to where you don't need a warm coat! (Only if you want to). Good luck on your warm coat search.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!! Last spring I was in desperate need of some new clothes. Got Jon to approve of the purchase and it literally disappeared before my eyes. I was very frustrated. Come to think of it, I think it was a bathing suit. You know how hard those are to find. I can relate girl.
