I am blaming this insanely over the top shopping trip on PMS, Mother Nature, A bad week at work, and a trip to the mall sans children (surely if my dd was with me, she would have announced she had to pee and ended the madness)!
I can shop and have done more damage, but for some reason, I am not as happy as I should be. Perhaps because I am a careful and thoughtful planner and this little trip was not at all what I had planned.
So for some reason, I got three coupons last week. Two were $100 off of a minimum $300 purchase and I also had the FB 25% off. I went over my wish list (yes, even put it in an excel spreadsheet) and tried to figure out what was left on my wish list and how to maximize each offer. So now that you know I am an uber geek, I will try to describe what happened.
At the top of my list is the Vermillion Borough. I went to my FP store and picked up the bag and mentioned to my SA that I was planning on getting her at some point. Then she informed me that the one I was holding was the last one and that JAX had NON. WHAT??!!!!! I missed out on the medium black calfskin because I couldn't get my act together and this info. threw me into a bit of a tailspin. I had planned on getting the bronze n/s tote with the $100 and *maybe* the black hobo later this week. Then I picked up the retro color block in tan/white/warm grey and fell in love.
I should have walked away darn it, but I felt like it was that moment on let's make a deal and I needed to phone a friend. Anyway, I ordered a vermillion borough from another store (I didn't want the floor model) and got the other three.
It is not exactly a budget issue, although there are certainly other things I could have spent money on and surely would. I try to not to have too many duplicates in terms of color and style and I am just not sure I will need two more Boroughs. I love all of them!! Truly. But now I am banned for a bit and I don't like that.
I have never had to ban myself and I feel like if I have to put myself on a timeout, then I haven't behaved.
Anyway, thanks for reading this if you got this far. I really do LOVE all of the bags. I will sleep on it/my purchases. Perhaps this weather has just really put me in a bummer of a mood and not even Coach can do what a beautiful 70 degree day could at this point. I will post pictures.
