Plight of the Underpaid Journo, Part II

“I tried on a shearling coat in chocolate suede. Again, it was so unlike the shearling coat I owned that it does not even belong in the same category. There were no bulky pockets; the inside was cut so that I didn’t look like a sack of potatoes. It was my birthday. I bought it. (It was $5,000, and all I can say is that I’m glad I spent the last year paying off my credit cards.)”

Alex Kuczynski, New York Times Thursday Styles, Dec. 15
