Earlier this week I revealed a new bag, a beautiful Turquoise Whipstitch Rogue 58116 BP MIW, that I got for a great deal. The bag was gorgeous and I really loved it, but after I got home I realized that it was quite similar to my other Rogue in the Dark Denim color. I have a bad habit of buying similar bags and consequently end up wasting money and closet space on bags that I don't use very often, so I have been trying to be very selective about bag purchases, and to avoid buying similar bags.
I was really torn, part of me wanted to keep it - because it was beautiful and I got it for a great deal - and part of me wanted to exchange it for a bag that was very different from anything else that I own. A lot of TPFers gave me great advice and I was leaning toward keeping it, but deep down inside I knew that I liked the blue denim Rogue better and I would probably reach for it most often and not wear the Turquoise very much.
So I studied the bags on Coach.com - both on sale and regular price and found one that really intrigued me. It was also a beautiful bag and quite unlike anything else I own - but I had never seen it IRL and wasn't sure about it. I stopped at the Coach boutique near my job yesterday and fell hard for it, so I exchanged my turquoise rogue for the new bag.
Any idea what I've got now? I'll give you a hint, it was more expensive than the turquoise rogue!
