My order for the Express Luxury Stretch 1 Button Jacket Crosshatch in Black came today. I was so excited to receive it because I got it online for $30! It was originally $148 - what a deal! So I didn't even mind paying $8 shipping this time. But when I opened the package today, I was disappointed for two reasons.
1. The color code said "Black", the picture that showed up when I order was also black, so I thought the jacket would be black! However, the name of the jacket says "Crosshatch", which I guess is a color rather than a pattern like I thought. So it's actually a grayish color with, well, crosshatch patterns. WTF? I mean it's not a bad color, but I thought I was getting black! I need a black jacket for the versatility. My work is moving to downtown LA and becoming business dress Mon - Thurs (sucks big time), so I need a jacket to wear everyday. To me, spending money on work clothes is kind of a waste of money (I rather buy Lululemon). I want to look nice of course, but want to find cheap things that don't look cheap, aka sale items. So I thought I'd just get ONE jacket, in BLACK, so it would go with everything. Then maybe later I would get a gray one or a tan one or something. Ugh, well, since the jacket was only $30 which was a definite steal, I was willing to overlook the color factor and keep it while searching for a cheap black one later. Except....
2. It is a little too small. I mean what the hell? This is what I was referring to in my earlier Express post about them changing their sizes. Apparently I recently became a size 00 there, even though I used to be a 0. So in this jacket I ordered 00, which was actually the only size they had left, so not that I had a choice. But I figured it would fit judging from their recent merchandise! But no, it's too tight and looks like the button is about to pop open. Grrrr.... so now I definitely can't keep it unless I lose 5 lbs real fast. Why do you do this Express??? Didn't you think that changing up your sizing would complicate things for customers that shop online??? Me no likie!
Maybe I will stop by the store some time this weekend and try to find a different size and/or color. I doubt they have many left though since it's so cheap! I'm not even sure if they were ever in stores at that price. I have gone into Express quite a few times recently so you'd think I would have noticed if they did. Well we shall see I guess. I'm so disappointed!
