I did a bad thing...

Or an awesome thing, depending on which way you look at it.  I always feel super guilty buying things i don't desperately need (Food, gas for my car, soap, etc)  You may have noticed from the pictures on the blog that i basically dress like a homeless person all the time.  I just can't help it.  I wear something until it has holes in it, and then i sew the holes, and continue to wear it until my scrappy sewing job falls apart.  (Possible 2012 goal - learn to sew properly)  Matt and i do pretty well, but we both have student loans, etc, so we try to be frugal.  (seriously, i have to be a displaced child of the great depression, what else could it be??)
G-foxxx twist, descendant of Oliver.  (also, i am very much aware that Oliver twist was not set during the great depressions, just work with me here, people.)
Anyways, I have known that i needed a running jacket basically since the temps dropped below 55.  I looked at target, but it appears that all the running jackets have moved on to make room for spring fitness clothes.  (way to make me miss spring, target)  And i have spent weeks pricing, comparing, trying on, etc probably every jacket known to man, but all the while, there was one jacket in the back of my mind:
Behold:  The Lululemon stay the course jacket,

Before anyone says anything, i know that Lululemon is a cult of overpriced, glorified loungewear, but this coat is SO BEAUTIFUL.  And the reviews of it give it stellar feedback.  And did i mention the beauty of it?  Basically, i have gone to the website every day for weeks and just looked at it.  I finally caved today, and went to the store and bought it.
The Kelsey pose.

Long enough to cover the top of my bum
Reflective safety strips.  Also, apparently Matt is 8 ft tall....weird.
super soft thumb holes
And possibly the best part....
Built in hand cuffins!!!  SOLD!!!
My bank account is hurting, but i can't wait to take this baby out tomorrow night!


***Also, notice the dog cage in my living room?  We pick up Waffles in 4 days!!  4 DAYS!!!

    2. I thought about running with them some time, and maybe even bringing Matt, but i had only caught the end of her discussing it and heard the "they are hardcore on Monday" comment. Glad to hear not everyone is extreme :D
