Hey youuuuuuuuuuuuuu guyssssssssssss (reference to Chunk from Goonies for those of you who were under a rock, or (gasp) not born yet, in the eighties)!

All right, it’s shopping list time. The temps are dropping quickly below the Mason Dixon line, and even though I was born and raised between the Midwest and East Coast, I’m now officially a wuss with uber-thinned blood, and yes, I have a space heater under my desk. I’m THAT girl. Moving on, along with the new ‘wussy’ title, I have a little, itty, bitty obsession with all things outerwear. So, put those two issues,  neuroses, quirks, what have you, together and you have the latest Buy/Pass pop quiz.

I’m literally about two seconds and one more sip of Pinot away from clicking ‘add to shopping bag.’ My question to you is, do I go with it and buy, or do I hold out an pass?

This is Round 1 of Buy/Pass by the way. I started this because, you know how you can have a best friend that is being a complete monkey in a romantic relationship because he/she can’t see the forest through the trees and she/he just needs an outside perspective? Right, well I’m like that with fashion. I live, breathe, eat, sleep, bleed, love, and daydream about fashion. I’m so far into the platform-filled, paisley-printed, leopard-lined woods, that I need a little outside input. Bottom line: I need some love and help with the decision. Ok, second bottom line, I need you!

Here it is, the Lush Winter Coat at Tobi.com (love love love Tobi, not to mention they’re based in one of my all time favorite cities in the world and their site overhaul several months ago was sheer genius). Click the pick to check it out, BUT FIRST, I seriously need your input…Do I buy this guy?

Like I said, this is Buy/Pass Round 1, uno, the first…You get the picture. Depending on the feedback, I’ll either keep it up or well, um, pass on the concept. It won’t stop me from shopping, and just know that, if I don’t get feedback, my poor friends and co-workers are going to suffer the wrath of my fashion indecision. So for their sake, shoot me a quick note and your opinion. I’d love to hear from you!

To those who send some love, I say, “muuuuuuuuuuuuuuah!”
