Finding the right one is difficult!

As read in the title, it is very difficult to find the right one. A petite person like me has to find the one that suits me best. When it comes to the size, which is very difficult because I live in Europe, where most people are (much) taller than me. Well, here I talk about finding the right jacket, what else did you think?

I have been living two winters with cheap and poor quality winter jackets. One of them I bought from H&M, for 100 NOK(yes, it was on sale), back in 2009... It just tells me that it is time to get a new winter jacket, A GOOD ONE. A real investment!

Today after the class, I went to the library to read. I know this has nothing with finding the right jacket to do, but I will get there soon! Anyways, after reading for three hours, three articles and one chapter, I started to lose focus, because before that I had class for three hours. And this morning when I woke up my left eye hurt really bad. It felt like someone has stabbed something into the inner-eye corner. I dropped using contact lenses and decided to wear glasses instead. I got these glasses in my last year of high school, which means that the glasses have not been updated since then. It was a tiring day for my eyes and my mind too. Why my mind, you may ask? Because the last evening, me and my group worked on a paper that we really wanted to hand in before 9pm, but we was running out of time and were stressing for hours to finish it. Yes, we managed to hand it in JUST IN TIME, but we all got messed up. I came home, an hour later I was still shaking...

So, back to the jacket hunting. Then I decided to go to MANGO to check if there are any jackets that I might like. I tried on two, but the one that I like the best is the blue one.

Here are my thoughts about the green parkas: I like that it has detachable shearling lining, so you could use it when it gets warmer as well. I had a parkas once, but I forgot it at a hotel and I would like to get a new one, but what I really need right now is a jacket for winter. Therefore I chose this one away, besides, it costs 999 NOK.

My thoughts about the blue coat: I like the color very much. Perfect total length and also perfect sleeve length. Feels good when wearing. I tried it in XS and as always it was a little tight around the shoulder part: issue #1. It is quilted feather jacket and I want to be animal-friendly: issue #2. The buttons on the chest, I personally do not like them: issue #3. It costs 799 NOK: issue #4. I have no idea if it gets soaked when it snows/rains, or if it is wind-proof: issue #5.

So I sent my mom a picture of me with the coat on...

She liked it, but she said that I have to make the decision myself, because I know if I better than her if I can afford it or not. Yes, the belt is missing, but I hope they give it when you purchase it... I am complicated and it is hard to find the right one.

Therefore, I need your opinion! Tell me if I should go for it or not and give me a reason. Help!
