Go back two weeks, when my Mom and I went out to dinner and shopping with one of her friends. Again, one of the places we hit was Old Navy. I showed my Mom the jacket and she tried to force me to buy it. :) Okay fine, she told me I had to get it and that she wanted to buy it for me. What can I say, she's really excited I'm pregnant! I held off and said that I wanted to wait for a sale. It is a regular non maternity jacket so I will be able to wear it after the pregnancy . . . but I just can't justify paying full price, especially at sales heaven ON!
So last night, I'm sitting on the couch watching my Kare11 and what do I see? Old Navy is having a 50% all outerwear weekend sale! I immediately called my Mom and she chuckled, as she'd hoped I hadn't seen it so that she could go and buy the jacket for me as a surprise. We talked about meeting up with each other on Saturday to go buy the jacket and that was that, or so I thought.
I pulled up Old Navy.com this morning, because 1) I took the day off and 2) I couldn't decide what color I was going to get. Upon loading the site message said that the sale had already started!!! So I called the nearest store and the manager confirmed, that yes, even though the ad said 11/8 it had actually already started . . . so I threw on a pair of jeans, pulled a jacket on over my t-shirt and hoodie, in my haste neglecting a bra {remember that pregnancy brain}, and called my Mom while jumping in the vehicle to high tail it to ON.
And now . . . she's mine! For $45 {of my generous Mom's moolah}, I have a MN warm {we already have had snowfall}, baby belly accomodating pea coat!

SO CUTE!!! You have superb taste, my friend! :)
Thank you for all of your comments lately. It's nice to know that I am not the only one sometimes ;)
You are spectacular and your style is impecable!
There's an Old Navy within walking distance from my work and I go there at least once a week! I saw that coat too and thought it was adorable!
I, er...was contemplating purchasing some cheap a$$ maternaity summer clothes this week so I understand your hesitancy. [and No, I don't have news....yet ;)]
I knew what you were talking about before I even saw the picture. I just left Old Navy minutes ago and almost bought this same jacket. It is loverly!
love the jacket! it is super cute!
I wish I had a justifiable reason to buy a new winter coat especially with such a great sale going on.
TOO cute! You'll make an adorable warm pregnant mommy in that!
so adorable and in my fave color too. That will be so cute on you.
What a sweet momma! And, great kelly green coat!
Let's see some pics of you in it!
: )
I love, love, love it!!!! I want it!!! Haha! Great choice!
Excellent choice and taste! You've inspired me to venture outside of my "black/grey" coat norm.
Can I just say I'm still giggling at your "Grand biscuits" comment on my post today? *giggle, snort*
So cute! And LOL at the boobage.
Super cute. That's my favorite color of green. Hmmm...perhaps I need one of those...
That is so adorable! I'd love a green peacoat but I couldn't justify it unless it was approx. $20-- I have a grey one already! Maybe you can exchange it for a medium? Yay on the deal! :)
I love, love, love it! I might be heading to ON tomorrow.
Love the coat!!!!
I love it!! I am going online right now to look for one!! :)
Ooh, I love the green! My favorite color! Must. Resist. Urge. To. Drive. There. Right. Now.
Cute Cute! I have an eerily similar green coat, even the same style.
So, of course I love it.
You KNOW I already hit up ON's coat sale.
I absolutely hate how inconsistent Old Navy's sizing is though...more than once I've bought the same shirt in two different colors, same size, one fit and one didn't. It's really kind of a problem.
LOVE it cute mama 2 b!!!
Remember all that cold weather we had...last 2 days hav been in the 80's. Back to flip flops and tank tops :)
Yay!! How exciting, and it's so sweet of your mom to get it for you! :)
those damn breastes.
Ohhh, I love it! I think I will be swinging into ON today! I've been wanting a green pea coat since last winter. Great find Leah! And an even better price!
I LOVE the jacket! I have pretty much the same one from Old navy that's cream. but it SERIOUSLY needs to be dry cleaned! if I ever fit in it again ;-)
I love it!! Great deal!!
