A few months' ago I was happily yahoo-ing & googling the Internet, trying to find a bit more about Balenciaga's City bag, & lo and behold, what happens?
I stumbled into.....
The Purse Forum.
After I registered with tpf & started prowling/reading up on the threads, practically overnight, I became obsessed! It was Balenciaga this, City that, Part-Time this, Regular Hardware/Giant Hardware that! I obsessed day and night, thinking I would just die if I didn't get the bag (note: I still haven't gotten the bag).
Within the timespan of a few months, I almost think I've become a major handbag, shoes & accessories brand whore! Now the bags I look at are Miu Miu, Prada, still Balenciaga, but through this forum, handbags that I didn't used to like are now growing on me! This is terrible!!! My wallet & bank account are not being accustomed to feeling this way, & neither am I!
At the beginning of this year, the most expensive handbag I had was Coach's Signature Hobo.. within 11 months it's Miu Miu's Plisse Satchel (thankfully a sale purchase)! OMG! Let me do a stock take.. within this entire year I bought:
2 Coach handbags
2 Prada handbags (1 from the factory outlet in Florence, another during the summer sale in Milan)
1 Balenciaga Coin Purse
1 Miu Miu Clutch
1 Miu Miu handbag
1 BV cell phone strap.
(that's not including the shoes.. don't get me started)
OMG You girls are such enablers! To think that before this I used to walk around with my wallet, keys and cellphone in hand just 12 months' back! The worst part of it all is that I still want to buy more... and more... and more!!!!
*sigh*
I better start holding back now or I'll never have enough money to get married, buy a house/car or have kids!
Did any of you experience this when you discovered tpf?!?
