I've always found that particular phrase slightly inappropriate in my case, since I dislike beer. Really dislike it. I've tried it and I just can't stand it. I'm a grape girl through and through.
Anyway, that's not what this particular post is about. Well it wasn't. What was it about? Ummmm... sidetracked. Sorry.
OH!
My new coat. I got the loveliest autumn/winter-ish coat last week. It's a black Gap trench, with cream piping and a black lining with pink, blue, orange, green and white spots on it. It's light enough for autumn, but with a few layers underneath will be great for winter as well. I've worn it most days since it got it.
I say "got it" and not "bought it", because I bought it online.
On eBay. Which is where I've bought a good many of my coats and jackets... and the odd frock.
Why?
Because I am a girl on a budget. A girl with designer tastes on a very strict budget.
So this is how I roll.
One of my colleagues finds it quite horrifying that I buy some of my clothes secondhand. She won't wear anything that's been worn by someone else - says it's unhygienic. I could see her point if I was purchasing secondhand underwear or shoes, but it's a coat. I've had it cleaned. I highly doubt I'm going to be catching any diseases from wearing it.
But if I do, at least I'll have saved money from the purchase to spend on antibiotics...
