I have a maaaaajor dilemma. OK, here's how it goes. (sorry this is a bit long)
I just ordered the Tahitienne PM in menthe. I don't have hardly any shoulder bags, and I love the style! all my LVs are handheld and all my bags are either black or brown, so a nice fun bag is definitely in order! So my mom gave me some money towards that as a birthday present, since my birthday is coming up. I took the rest out of my savings account, but will be able to replace it when I get the $600 from the economic stimulus bill, which i'm scheduled to have direct-deposited in the middle of May.
I'm waitlisted for the Aquarelle Speedy and now, the Papillon. I got the Tahitienne because I'm really concerned that the aquarelle speedy will look like luggage on me. I love small Speedies-- mine are all 25's and I think 30s are too big, so I know 35 will be huge! The problem is, I really want a bag from this line! I got the bandeau and love it. So there's the papillon; I could get that, and it'd be smaller than the Speedy.
The problem is, everyone's SO proud of me for having a couple of grand in my savings account, and if I buy the watercolor from that account, it'll take me some time to replace that money. My SO keeps berating me for not saving more money and if he found out he'd be livid! He hates bags and my addiction. My parents are also proud of me about the account. I could probably have it back up to the same level in a couple of months with saving, but if I didn't buy the bag I could put more money in there, and with this economy, I keep thinking I should be thinking about saving. I just really, really want a watercolor bag! And I gave up getting a birkin in favor of putting a down payment on a house, so I feel like I'm tired of giving up bags. LOL.
My other option is to sell my Damier Speedy 25. It's like new and gorgeous. I carry my mono one a lot more, but I do still carry the Damier when it rains (I have other rainy day bags though). And I've heard from people that it's "classier" than the mono. It's just such a worry-free bag. But since I only carry it maybe once a month (I'm a logo fiend :shame: so it doesn't get carried except when it rains), I was thinking maybe I should sell it; it's not being discontinued anytime soon so I can buy it again whenever if I really miss it, right? (But then again with these crazy price increases I'll regret it?)
So what should I do?
Buy the aquarelle outright and replenish my savings account later?
Forget the aquarelle and be happy with my two speedies and my tahitienne that's on the way?
Return the tahitienne for the aquarelle?
Sell the damier to put funds toward the aquarelle?
SORRY this is so long; I really need the advice, though! How sad is it I'm losing sleep over this?!
Thank you so much in advance!
