For 3 days, I sat across the street from Mania at a coffee shop and ogled a bright plaid coat on a mannequin in the Mania window. I obsessed over that coat, but Mania was never open when I was in the coffee shop.
I ended up leaving Copenhagen and traveling to Sweden and Germany, but was still thinking about that coat. I even tried to see if I could buy it online and have it sent to the States (I couldn't). But, I had to return to Copenhagen to fly back to the States, so I decided I'd go buy that coat while I had time between flights.
When I finally got inside the store, I was sad I didn't have more time (nor space in my luggage) to peruse the clothing and accessories in Mania. Everything there was so freaking cute!
Anyway, the sales person wasn't the friendliest when I walked in (perhaps because I was looking sweaty and rushed) but she perked up when I said I wanted the coat in the window. I actually ended up with the coat from the window since it was the only Small in the store. Then bam, I purchased the coat and couldn't be happier. Can't wait to wear it and when someone inevitably compliments me, I can say "Thanks, I got it in Denmark!"
If I ever return to Copenhagen, I'm definitely visiting Mania again! read more
