This made me ugly-chuckle 🤣

I realize how weird and overtly materialistic this all sounds but also, consider:

Needless to say, I scooped that coat up SO FAST. Zero apologies to the other person who had it in their cart - THAT'S MY FOREVER COAT 😤😤😤

Forever my goat?? 🐐
Nah, forever MY coat 🖤✌️

I don't know what made me think to search up the brand again today but I'm SO glad I did -
I never thought I would find another, but I just found one, albeit a size smaller (my current large is quite roomy). I could almost literally feel my eyes light up when I spotted it 😭😭😭

I even have super low-res potato-quality pictures of me in it from back then (like 2008-2009?)
The one with the door is a pic of a physical photograph, so it's extra crispy-fried ☠️
I'm very good at looking moody slightly out-of-frame lmao

I've bought other coats over the years thinking I would finally retire this one, even a nice Michael Kors, but I just keep going back to this particular one my mom bought me from Burlington Coat Factory when I was like 15 👶

Didn't even think to check these earlier 🙈 "emo spiral" got me lol

This really blindsided me though??? I don't even like this song that much lmao 🙈 my shuffle just throws it at me constantly

*Marge Simpson voice* I just thought this was neat
