Until....
I realized i was only window shopping that day and would have to come back to get the coat probably the next day. That didn't happen. A week later i made it back to this store and shock alert!
The jacket had sold out! Excuse me?
Went home disappointed. I stopped at the grocery store to pick up my fashion and gossip mag fix. Something to cheer the fashion soul but as i flipped through the pages of US Weekly i believe it was, there was my jacket on Kristin Cavallari in RED! "Stop her!" I yelled in my head. Hahahahaha. It read something like, "Kristin Cavallari hails a cab in NYC wearing a red Old Navy coat". Oh did i mention she looked so stunning in it too.
Fast forward to two years later, i went into Old Navy hoping to find maybe a similar jacket or close. Er.. nope. So i settled for what seemed like the practical jacket to have then. It was not red, had no ruffles, but it kept me warm and comfortable through out the cold season.
I wore the jacket over the outfit in my previous post when i went to shoot and i knew i had to recreate that Kristin Cavallari moment in my not-so- red- plaid-hooded-jacket. Hahaha. Today, plaid....or tartan is trending like crazy- Apparently there is a difference between the two but i would let you all decide what you prefer to call it.
Er, while she almost stole my look, now i need to work on my future shots for posts on celebrity inspired looks. More to come.
Thank you all for reading. Now your comments.

Thank you so much Paola :).
Fabulous pictures. I love tartan. I always have. I have a tartan coat and it is one of my favourite pieces.
I love tartan! This design is always tartan. Plaid has been used wrong by America and now everyone thinks the design is plaid, when it's actually still tartan. 'Plaid' is actually a blanket used in a traditional Scottish kilt outfit...I should really do a blog post on this to explain it to everyone, as I've been asked a lot of times to explain the difference. It's just one of those things that along the time, the real meaning of the item has gotten lost. In this case, the term tartan and plaid. Tartan is the design on the piece of fabric (the different coloured stripes/lines in the design) and the 'plaid' is actually a blanket or cloth that is worn on the shoulder of a full Scottish clan outfit. I hope this makes sense...I will put together a post on it soon to show better ;) Either way, I do love this tartan...it's so gorgeous!! You look wonderful & I'm glad you finally got the coat :)) xx
Finally its yours! You look fabulous in it! love the boots combi..
