Sometimes it works to "fake it until you make it" -- that is, act how you want to feel (in this case confident) and the actual feelings will follow. Good luck!

I think you should ask for hundreds of thousands, and to keep a straight face bear in mind all the Echandia purses you could buy with the extra $$. Or the charities to whom you could donate. You're worth whatever sum you have in mind. You know you are. Let me repeat: YOU KNOW YOU ARE. Drill this into your head. YOU ARE WORTH WHAT YOU ASK FOR. Smart, savvy women like you Make Life Beautiful for all of us.

Thanks... I will keep that in mind...

BTW, Make Life Beautiful sounds like the name of a new BE bag...

I think that is already BE's slogan -- MAKING LIFE BEAUTIFUL. You know, the diamonds growing on trees thing...

I have already started to plan my bag purchase list for the next months ... the little milkmaid!

Is anyone else joining? I'm interested, I have a root Hold Me in my BEC wish list but would love 10% off the stock price! I love my clementine Hold Me, it's be great to have another in root!

mariabdc · Sep 29th, 2009, 09:51 AM

I thinks there's two or three ladies who are very interested... I wonder whether TG's latest impulsive purchase

may affect this bespoke.. just kidding...

TropicalGal · Sep 29th, 2009, 10:35 AM

^^^Well, as a matter of fact...since I decided to buy the purple pebbled Hold Me...I no longer will buy a root Hold Me...so does anyone want to take over this bespoke?

Sorry ladies!

Well, DANG! Who do we have interested so far? Like 2 ladies? I might have to take this over and lure out the lurkers. LURKERS! Come out and join us for the Root Hold Me! That Maxi looks huge to me. I am 5 feet on the nose. Would that be too big for me?

I think Jenny said somewhere that she was quite tall and long-legged... Her measurements are probably buried in the Orange Hold Me reveal thread...
