I noticed yesterday that Jules of Morocco, a clothing shop in Multnomah Village, is having an inventory sale. So I decided to see if one of those embroidered coats that I've been coveting for years would be, perchance, on sale. Well, they weren't, but I decided to splurge and buy one anyhow, especially since they gave me a fairly large discount. It was one of the older coats, and the sales lady says that it was THE coat that convinced the owner to start doing business with the group in India that produced these coats. It is very nicely done, with silk lining and all (which I noticed when I put my hands in the pocket; you can tell). Anyhow, the story goes, the subsequent coats were not as nice -- the linings were no longer silk (which I also noticed in the other coats), and some lacked pockets. I noticed that some had pockets that were rather too low.
Behold the coat! It's mid calf length, and I wore it tonight already, to Mike's company dinner. With my chicken hat!
So, that was my clothing budget for the next 3 years...
Finished the training manual for Rebecca so she can update her web site herself. We'll be meeting for the training session tomorrow afternoon, after we visit the Iranian Women Speak Out Through Art exhibit at IFCC.

gl -- Yes, I really wore it with the chicken hat. I think the CTO (who's a camera freak) might've gotten some pictures (he was flashing that thing in front of everyone), I'll let him know that my fan base is demanding some pictures...
Shumei -- what's so strange?
Yes, I was wondering if Chicken Hat was going to write about this event...
