Wow!… it’s a beauty! Looks lovely on you, and just your size too! So glad you included the photo!

I had to chuckle as I read because your adventure and disappointment mirrored my own experience just a week ago! At our hometown thrift shop I found the cutest, very small side table that would fit in “just the right spot”. I drove 10 minutes home to measure. …Perfect! ‘Jumped back into the car, drove 10 min back to the shop. Sad news…. the table sold just minutes after I’d left!

Oh I am so very sorry that this happened to you -- I know this exact feeling! Maybe the other thrifter will have a change of heart and the table will reappear in the thrift?! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙏

I loved reading this lighthearted reflection! As a thrifter and second-guesser, I can relate. I’m so glad that you got the coat in the end.
