I've heard many people say how they find killer deals all the time. Well that's only happened to me once back in college when I was visiting NYC. I walked out of Sak's with a pair of AG ex-boyfriend jeans for next to nothing. Tag price: $248. My price: A tank of gas. Besides that rare instance though, I'm more likely to be the person who buys something today only to see it marked down by at least 50% what I paid about 3 weeks later. Case in point, the scarf from my last post. SO frustrating. Well lucky for me luck was in my favor a few days after Christmas on a trip to The Shops at Willow Bend in Plano with my mom and 2 of my sisters. The four of us walked into Banana Republic and were greeted by a huge sign advertising their current deal of an 'extra 50% off all sale prices' so off I went piling sweaters on my arm. All of a sudden Janae points out the most perfect, long, blush-colored coat and said 'you should buy this, it's $150.' I assumed she had already done the math and it was actually $300 but with the sale it would be the price she mentioned. WRONG. The youngest Breon girl has just found me the DEAL OF THE YEAR and found it in a size small. Clearly she's must be my good luck charm. So this gorgeous coat was originally $328 but I was getting it for just under $75. That's more than 75%...which I figured out immediately so I had numbers to give the Accountant husband when he asked WHY I needed yet another coat. Because it was more than 75% off dear AND because it's pink and I don't have a pink one. ;-)

Kristin, I will forever be in debt to you for sharing this blush colored beauty! This coat looks perfect on you and I can't wait to see how you keep styling it! Such a staple and I have you to thank for the fact that it is hanging in my closet :) P.S.- I will be scouting out deals from now on to return the favor! Xx
