I just lost 15 lbs and recently got a well-paid freelance assignment. So I decided to treat myself to a fabulous new purse. I figure I can splurge once in a great while, and now is the time.
Everyone has their weakness and mine is purses! I bought this cheap bright yellow bag at the beginning of spring. And when I say bright yellow, I mean almost neon. It was nearing the end of a very cold, dark winter and I was ready for some color. Now I am so sick of color I could scream! What was I thinking! This big yellow purse reminds me of a giant bumble bee. I get these faint compliments from people, I think because (1) they feel compelled to say something; the thing is so bright, and (2) they wonder who has the audacity to carry something this "out there" in public.
So I look around the on 'net. Of course the first store I come to is Louis Vuitton. (A girl has to dream right?) Anyway, the "Jamais" catches my eye for $3400!! (My freelance job wasn't that well-paying.) Next...On to BlueFly.com. I have actually never shopped there before. And I was surprised to find some pretty good deals. I finally settled on a Gustto brown and tan shoulder bag for $498. Before you shriek, keep in mind I will wear this thing for years. And the regular price is $831. I needed something neutral I could wear year 'round. The purse is a mixture of patent and regular leather. So it's neutral, but not boring. I found a coupon code at coupon cabin for $30 off. (Code number is ccabin31. It expires at the end of June.)
Now, I hope it doesn't arrive here and I hate it. Returning is such a pain.
