Excited! EXCITED!! Today I finally pulled the trigger on a Disco Bag bag today at my local Gucci store in Sydney. I've wanted this bag for the longest time but after a string of rather expensive holiday's this year it went to the proverbial back burner. Of course, after seeing Meg's review of her Disco some weeks ago, I completely fell in love with it all over again & it's been extremely difficult to ignore my overwhelming urge to go to the boutique to check it out in person.
Recently I've had to undergo 2 wrist reconstructions on both my left & right wrists after being injured at work & as a result I've made the decision to part with a lot of my heavier bags with top handles. I figure that downsizing, packing light & making an effort to use bags with a shoulder strap can't hurt. I'm still in casts on both arms for the next few months which gets a little hard to manage at times with carrying a bag. So now I have a bundle of bags to cart off to the local consignment store later this week & even though it breaks my heart, the extra cash will help me fund my new bag.
As a result of buying the Disco, I also 'had' to splash out on a new wallet; there was absolutely no way my long LV Zippy Wallet was going to fit inside. Originally I had my heart set on a Prada wallet in Turquoise Saffiano, but after looking at it in person it just didn't have that 'wow factor' I was looking for. Honestly, I must have looked at every wallet in Sydney today & just as I was about to give up, a beautiful little YSL purse jumped out at me. It was a little more than I wanted to spend, but hey, sometimes that's just the way it goes. I love how well the gold hardware contrasts with my new bag, it's just all kind of perfect
So, here she is!!
