she is 14.   she could fit in a size small adult or the equivilent in the Jr. sizes ( don't know what that is).  It needs to be super warm and the right materal to play in the snow.  But she doesn't want super bright (little kid) colors and she doesn't like the fur around the hood...but wants a hood.   We can't afford more than about $70.  I have looked about every place I can think of...and have come up empty handed. 

 

SO PLEASE...if you can help me, I would be so grateful.  She doesn't have a coat at all...and it's getting cold here in Nebraska.

 

thanks.

Check and see if there is anything you like at Land's End (esp. check the clearance stuff) as they have 31% off today ----code Spooky with the PIN 3131

 

You could also check the girls size 18-20 as that is very similar to a woman's small and might be a lot cheaper if they have a color she likes.

 

Do you have any higher end consignment stores near you?  Ours often has some very nice name brand coats for reasonable prices...........yes, $30-50 might be high for a used coat but if they are in good shape and warm it is worth it.

 

Another place to look for warm weather gear is the local farm store.  Ours has some nice fashionable ones as well as the work wear type.

no burlington coat factory...and I have checked their website.  I will check Land's end...thanks.  I wish we had a nice consignment shop nearby...but we don't...just a really bad Goodwill....which I did check yesterday...and the only coats they had were little kid coats.

Costco has this one. If you want it, I can have it sent to you and you can pay me back.  I am a member.

thanks so much for the offer...you are so kind.  It's too long and she won't like th fur around the hood.  Is there one like that...shorter without the fur??  That would be just what she would like...maybe navy or brown/tan...or black.  I know...she is picky....I know....UGH!!!!  If my pocktbook wasn't so tight, I would be in a better spot too...

 

size 14 might be too small too....I would like to have her wear it next year too if possible.

 

thanks again for your offer....you are so kind.

Target has this one which looks like it meets the criteria: http://www.target.com/p/women-s-ski-jacket-night-fall-zeroxposur/-/A-15170078#prodSlot=large_1_4

 

Lands End Squall Parka is great - I got this for DS this year and it's super cozy warm (in kids sizes). They're around $100, but Lands End is having a 31% off sale:

This LL Bean coat is nice, but a bit higher than your price point. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a sale soon too:

If you have a Sams near you, they have good coats some winters--I got a blue one with a hood similar to the Costco one posted above, for about $35 last year.  Even if you aren't a member at Sam's, you can shop there and pay a 10% premium.  Which, on a $35 coat, would add $3.50.

 

I've gotten a ton of coats at thrift shops.  And some at Old Navy.
