Yesterday, a boy in one of my classes asked me suddenly, "You got that coat from Delias, right?"I was surprised that an unknown person was not only speaking to me but he was a boy who also knew exactly where my coat came from. It unnerved me a bit. For a brief moment, I felt paranoid. How could he know exactly what I was wearing and where it came from? Did he want my coat for himself? Would he murder me for the coat or was there the possibility a stranger might skin me to make a new coat? I don't think I would make a very good trenchcoat at all. A jacket maybe.
"Uh, yeah," I responded, so gracefully. "I had my sheepskin jacket and marshmellow shaped parka. Nothing for fall."
"I was so going to get that for my girlfriend!"
And then we had a conversation about how pea coats are awesome. Yay! A new friend!
Shame on me for reverting to gender stereotypes. I often forget that men can be interested in women's clothing in a non-transvestite way . Just because my boyfriend looks like he fell into a Goodwill bin and climbed out dressed doesn't mean all men are like that.

That's awesome... I would have an instant crush on any boy who could talk clothing with me... swoon. Too bad he's got a girlfriend. At least you made a new friend! [And I think that jacket is the hotness also]
This coat is awesome.
