A GOOD INVESTMENT?
Duffle coat with hood and fur via Massimo Dutti
Despite my previous post, you could spot me this afternoon in the shopping streets. Nonetheless I wasn't there to shop for myself. But you know girls, I still had to take a look at what was new in store ;). And there is was at Massimo Dutti. Literally falling in my hands. Asking me to fit. My dream coat. It was love at first, but then I took a look at the price tag... I left it behind, but it keeps on wandering in my head.
Why I have to buy this coat: It fits me like, uhm, a glove... It will keep me warm when the temperatures drop, Belgium = cold 60% of the time... It will keep me dry thanks to the hood, Belgium = rainy 80% of the time... It's good quality... I don't have a khaki green coat, or any kind of coat like this, so it complements my collection... I wear my winter coats for several years... ... which makes it a good investment.
Why I would not buy this coat: It's freaking expensive.
I think I will go back tomorrow for another fitting. If I'm still in love, I'll probably make the splurge.
What do you think, save or splurge? And what are your criteria for a new purchase?
