My next purchase

I've already got my next purchase scheduled in my head. I've got a $40 store credit to Lane Bryant, and on October 19th I can use it with a $25 off of $75 coupon - I'll end up paying around $10 bucks for this beauty:

 

In the words of my friend Erin, "It's just screaming to be worn with black tights and booties!" Good thing I've got those ASOS booties on the way! With my favorite black blazer or a bright cardi, this is going to be the perfect addition to my work wardrobe, but it's also stylish and chic enough to be dressed up for a night out :)

One thing that really grinds my gears about Lane Bryant is their sizing - the way they have a 14/16 and an 18/20 rather than all four sizes or even 14/16, 16/18, 18/20. It's lazy on their part and SO frustrating when a piece that I want is either to too small in the 14/16 and too big in the 18/20...where's the in between?!  My favorite part is that if you look at their size chart, they don't have measurements for those combined sizes, only for each individual number! Damn you and your head games, Lane Bryant! I'm going to take my measurements sometime this weekend and try to figure which is best.

Le sigh.

Anyone else have issues with they way Lane Bryant sizes their garments, or is it just me??
