New Purse...

Yesterday, I got to go on a field trip. And believe me I was as happy and giddy as a 3rd grader going to visit the zoo. This past Saturday my "ace boon coon" happened upon a phenomenal sale at the Coach outlet in Albertville. She acquired 4 purses for around $300. Well, imagine my excitement when she informed me that she wanted to go back out there. All I can say is that it was an overwhelming experience. Purses. Cheap. My two favorite things. The prices were out of this world. The clearance purses were an additional 50% off and then 10% off everything in the store. After wandering around with several bags, I finally settled on this one...It's perfect!

I haven't given up on my orange bag, but this may pacify me for the time being. And if anyone wants to go on a field trip just let me know. I can think of a few other bags that I would like to get.

customers purses...

On Saturday night while working at Gap Kids, a woman came in and I was immediately drawn to her. I sidled up to get a closer look and I let me tell you, I liked what I saw. She was everything I like, big, my favorite color, and eye-catching. Now before you start wondering if I changed "teams", I wasn't drawn to the woman. In fact I was so enthralled my her purse that I couldn't even tell you her eye or hair color. I only had eyes for her purse! When she laid it on the counter to check out, I could barely get my fingers to work. I was practically drooling. This purse was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Like I said before it was big, orange and just different enough that it would catch eyes - everything I look for in a purse. I had to have this purse. Did I mention that it was a Louis Vuitton. Without reaching out to touch it and opening it up to inspect it, it looked like the real deal. Coming back to earth after she left, I was then on a mission to find out more about this bag. Well, after searching the internet I couldn't find it. I did find it on the Louis Vuitton site, but not in orange...

Estimated Price: $5,800
HHHMMM...so, how was I going to justify a $5800 purse. Maybe if I don't buy groceries or pay rent for a few months, I could pull it off. Shoot, I need to lose weight and I'm sure we could live comfortably in my car - at least during the summer.

After a little more research, I did find it in orange but at a much more reasonable cost. It seems that the customer's bag was a knock-off. I found it on several knock off sites for under $200. HHMMM...we'd only have to live off of boxed Mac and Cheese for a few weeks...

Have a look! Isn't it wonderful....


Estimated Price: $198
