I went to the mall with Mr. S and the kiddos and looked at a couple of bags (recall I’m in my hometown so shopping is not so great.) Nothing excited me.
I was fairly half heartedly considering a bag when Mr. S declared that I should stop considering bags completely.
He feels I’m doing this backwards - “hunting” for something to buy vs seeing something I love and then running to buy it. Further, he feels I’m self defeating by being too cheap to buy what I want but having desires and standards that won’t let me easily settle for a “deal”.
So, he said I should just let myself buy whatever I truly love (that I will also actively use) and just limit it to a few bags a year so I don’t get freaked out about owning too many bags or get massive, unfounded (Catholic girl) budget guilt.
I declared him a minion of Beelzebub and thought vigorously about burying him to his neck in a fire ant hill.
Ok. So...look. He may be right but, did he
have to call me out like that?
He asked me what bags I genuinely love right now without any overanalyzing and they are: Chanel black lamb sf jumbo, Fendi pink pearl Mon Tresor, Bal City Edge, Chanel iridescent green M/L, Strathberry green tote, Gucci velvet anything and my unicorn, the black Miss Dior w/ghw.
So then he asked why I wouldn’t get one of those. I said because I neeeeed a black tote. For some reason he doesn’t feel I neeeeed a black tote but some other bag that will function in that way and that searching for a tote doesn’t preclude me from getting something else in the interim.
Sheesh! Applying logic to bag acquisition??? What is wrong with the man. LOL! I’m going to agree partially, however, I need to sit still. I’ll just admire what you ladies are doing til “the” bag appears. LOL!
