Fur Trimmed Hood

 So, about that missing hood on my jacket.

 The box arrived just a couple of hours ago from Macys.

 I love buying online from Macys since they have yet to make me wait too long for a purchase to arrive, and I was soooo ready for this one to arrive since our mild days turned so rainy and cold this week, and a hood on days such as these just feels pretty darned good.

 I have never taken well to cold weather, but if I have layers on I can manage to get through the winters here nicely.

The reason this face is so happy?
Because this very warm down and feather filled coat was originally a $195 coat, and in the end, after the exchange, I paid $79.99.  Prices like this are what makes shopping in the midst of winter so worth it... you may not walk out of the store with the exact color you had in mind or the exact style.. but when temperatures fall to freezing or below, trust me...... it's not the color of your coat that you're worried about.

Just The Hood

Maybe you did and maybe you didn't notice the coat in this photo the other day when I posted our snow photos..... 

I purchased this down and feather filled coat by Larry Levine from Macy's some days before our incredible snowstorm hit the area.

It's a great warm coat and once the storm was here and I actually wore the coat, well.... I can't tell you how happy I was with it.  BUT, the one thing I wished is that it had a hood, which as far as I knew it did not.  Then yesterday I was looking it over and noticed that under the collar was a zipper.... but nothing was zipped to it, so it was obvious that it should have had a hood when I purchased it.

It was on clearance or I NEVER would have purchased it considering that the original price was nearly $200, and I don't spend that amount on coats, because clearance prices feels so much nicer.

After noticing the zipper with no hood as a mate, I looked the coat up on Macy's website and it said that the local store had none in stock... but the website did have one in my size and color, so I clicked the purchase button just so that the coat would not slip away from me, and I immediately dialed the customer service number for the online store and explained my situation and could they just send me a hood please.  LOL  Oh, I knew they wouldn't, but it was worth a try, right?

The gal from the website said that I would need to return the hoodless coat to our local store and just buy an entirely new coat online.... so I did.  

When I took the hoodless coat back to the store today I told the sales clerk  that it seemed odd that the hood had disappeared... but she said, "you would be surprised at the things people take."

A hood?

Really?

Anyway hopefully once my new replacement coat arrives it will be the end to a happy story.

Just the hood, right?

Hmmmm

Very strange.

P.S.  The coat had taken ANOTHER markdown since I purchased it, so all in all it saved me some money.  It's now sold out in every color in my size.
