Why is it I always need/want something that's out of season?

[stinkerbelle]

I need (ok - want) a new nylon rain coat for my trip to disney next month.
Yes, september, the rainy month.

I have a rain coat - but it's about 4 sizes too big (stole it from my brother years ago)...I can fit a backpack and 2 small children underneath this thing.

I found a great one online fromm Urbanoutfitters.com on sale for $15 - but they cancelled my order for some reason and now my size is out of stock. (grr - their customer service SUCKS!)

Has anyone seen any of these recently for a decent price? Just looking for a nylon zip up one with a hood. (already checked old navy - don't like that one at all...)

thanks!

Oh - and I don't DO Mickey ponchos!

Try REI. I got a nice red rain backpacker jacket for 19.00 a couple of weeks ago. It is totally waterproof, but boy does it get hot, even if the sleeve vents are open.

wet is sexy

Try Landsend Overstocks. I've gotten some amazing deals there. Here's a link to Women's outerwear: http://www.landsend.com/cd/ov/line/0,1460,2_17273_17277_30762___,00.html?sid=4967035783033148030

I found a very light weigt waterproof one at LL Bean. I think its the Mountain Classic Anorak. I bought the insulated one, just because of where I live, but it does come uninsulated as well. Good Luck.

The problem is all the retailers artificially manipulate the seasons. Just try to find a decent selection of bathing suits in late July or August. No way. If you want to buy a suit, you need to do it in March while there is still snow on the ground.

O stop being fussy and just wear a Mickey one.

Try Lands En or LL Bean. They tend to have high quality stuff year round.

d'oh - can't belive i didn't think of LLBean!!
what kind of new englander am I?

hmm...ok - orange or fuchsia? hehe...leaning towards orange.

(psst - disneysteve - that may be true about bathingsuits - however I got some GOOD DEALS at filenes on suits last month! heheh)

The orange one reminds me of a crossing guard ( which may not be a bad thing at Disney! ) I'd pick fuchsia.

Fuchsia

yeah - me too (and my mom is a school crossing guard! hehehe)

I'm just not a "fuchsia girl" I don't think...plus I think DH will be able to find me easier if I'm wearing orange! heheh

well - that decides it - only the orange is in stock - i'm buying that one! hehehe

I was thinking about buying a rain coat too for next month, but couldn't figure out what to do with it all day except stick it in a locker. Do you carry it with you?

Thanks
