cha cha, no you're not nuts . . . well, maybe you are, but you're in good company. I'm reaading this thread and thinking - WOW! An entire thread to help me justify getting 3 shoulder bags in different colors!!!!
But seriously, I have 2 shoulder bags right now - whiskey and plum suede - and when I look at them, I really do see them as different bags altogether because they're just so different. I want the pond one and think that is equally unique. Your Mandies are the same way - if you love them, go for it!
And by the way, does your husband offer classes to other husbands on how to buy bags and keep the wives happy because I'll buy whatever program he's got!
