Aha! I admit I hoped you might like it or find it amusing.

Years ago I tried a really nice cashmere wool one on at a store. I was wearing my usual outfit of shorts and it looked so funny standing in front of the mirror.

There's a story from the painter Franz Kline's wife of how when he was still an unknown artist he was saving money to get a coat and wanted a Burberry. He didn't think he could or should spend the money on it. She told he he had to get it because it felt like success. And it was! I still hope to get one someday.
