Not one of my hunts for fashion shopping, the Burlington Coat Factory, has proved to be a carrying out a scam on shoppers wanting a bargain. At a time when everyone is looking to trim the fat from our fashion budgets, Burlington Coat Factory decided to sell K-Mart coats after covering the label with fake one of named designers! Shoppers were able to easily remove the labels and noticed the coats came from K-Mart!
K-Mart sold the coats for $30.00. The name brand would have been $200.00. So the $70.00 asked by Burlington Coat Factory was a steal. Folks, in this day of looking for bargains, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is!! Remember, as Judge Joe Brown often says, “caveat emptor.” Let the buyer beware!
Since I shop from QVC, this would have never happen to them. First, a product is not just bought and then sold to their customers. It has to go through product inspectors and if it does not pass inspections out it goes.
So remember buyers, CAVEAT EMPTOR! Let the Buyer Beware!!!

When I was in my twenties, I moved to California. And being young, I rarely needed an outer coat. I have always adored leather, but back in the day, designers thought that big girls should not sport leather goods. Well let me tell you those days are gone! Full figured females and ladies of advanced age can and do wear leather!!
I am now in clothing heaven. Designers have dropped the old style boxy leather coats and jackets. Leather is now so soft and supple that it can be fashioned into styles never thought possible before. You don’t even have to put them away in the Spring. Leather is so light that it can be worn as a part of the total outfit and worn indoors all day like your other jackets.
One designer that makes jackets that fit this niche is Bradley Bayou. He dresses many of the stars and is known for fitting problem figures. His jackets have that couture fit where the seaming hides flaws and accentuates the positive points of a woman’s body. In his book, “The Science of Sexy“, he explains his philosophy of making women look their best.
Watching his jacket with all the colors, navy and yes black. But there was lime, cooper, and he has done white. My white jacket had a woman chase me across the parking lot to ask where I got it. She then told me how good it looked. My friends know that I am a 1X.
What am I saying? Try leather for the Spring and give your outfits a real boost with a couture designed jacket that caresses your figure and brights out it’s best features! Leather is indeed better.
