A term used by heroin addicts, yet I find that it applies to me!!!
I went to the outlet at Aurora, IL. yesterday. I got into the store about 1 hour prior to close, and started looking around. I was INSTANTLY angry with Coach, but angrier with myself!!!
I'm chasing the dragon with COACH, and I've got to stop!!! They use the term to describe chasing your first HIGH, and it's EXACTLY WHAT I'M DOING!!! I'm chasing that 1st high of the excitment of purchasing my 1st Coach bag, and the pride of ownership that goes along with it.
I looked around the 50% OFF redlined area, it made me sick to see an editorial Zoe shoved in with other random bags, treated like an old shoe. A table of Madison pieces folding in on themselves for lack of stuffing and/or CARE by the employee's. A brand NEW spectator Sabrina that looked like it had been sitting underneath a pile of dirty clothes at Goodwill. It was the equivalent of a COACH overdose, and NOT in the good way!!!
I bought a bag, because that's what addicts do right?! It's OK, I purchased it because that was my plan. I came home feeling empty and sick. A loooong car ride, followed by a HUGE disapointment in the store's care of their merchandise and MYSELF for traveling all that way JUST like Coach know's we will for the 20% OFF coupon. They marked up the LARGE ZOE's to offset the discount. I know it for a FACT. Mine was $229 w/ 30% OFF when I bought it a week ago, now they are $259 w/ 30% OFF.
So, I'm not posting a reveal, because I have no excitment. I'm not going to chase the dragon anymore, let ALONE try and keep up with the Jones'!!!
You may not see me around as much. I think I need to detox if you KWIM?!
I hope I can get back to a HAPPY PLACE with Coach. I used to love trips to the outlet...but yesterday and all the coupons, it's all just done me in for awhile.
I'll check in now and then to see what everyone else is buying, I won't join the banned mates thread, because I don't think I need a ban. The overdose was enough!!!
