Final sale, what a dreaded concept. While I consciously avoid buying things that can’t be returned, there are a few final sale items in my closet that I’ve come to love in spite of initial dissatisfaction.
This yellow lady jacket from J. Crew was purchased as a gift but I later learned that the intended recipient had already bought it (a more forgivable mistake than, say, knowingly buying something final sale with no recourse). I was going to press local J. Crew sales associates for a return or an exchange (for a larger size/color) but ended up just keeping it out of convenience.
These days, I find myself reaching for it with more frequency than I ever thought I would so it ended up being a worthwhile purchase.

Is final sale a strong enough deterrent for you to reconsider a purchase?
