The fake out

One December Friday I got out of work early enough to stop in the thrift store before they closed. I spotted this cute green blazer with a detachable fur collar from Loft, and even though the tag said size two, it fit nearly perfectly (just a tiny bit tight under the arms).

The date on the tag was the following Monday, meaning that it would become half off in just a couple days, only I wouldn't get out of work early enough to go back for it, so I snapped a photo and asked my mom if she would buy it for me.

Come Monday afternoon she texted me that the blazer was gone. I was a little disappointed, but what can I say, I have one of those 'meant to be' mentalities when it comes to buying things I know I don't need.

Suffice to say I was pleasantly surprised when one of the boxes I opened on Christmas contained the blazer. My mom has always been queen of the gift fake out.
