So speaking of shopping, lol!

First off, I had a funny experience at Dillard's today. I was at the mall at opening to make the most of my day, and that was where I parked. I wondered why there were several at the door at opening, but didn't think much of it. I go to the handbag section and slowly realize there are a lot of people there..... and I saw that it was one of those days that they have a sale on top of a sale on their handbags. I laughed to myself because I had heard of this sale but I have never been to one. This one was milder than some I have heard of--I think sometimes people can get pushy at times. I had a MK bag in hand that another lady liked, so I told her if I decided against it, she could have it--and I did give it to her. The Coach options on sale weren't very interesting.

I am glad I passed on that bag, however as Macy's had this bag on sale (below), and it the sunflower color of the other bag that didn't work out previously. I like this one better--and it is small like the other one, but in a way that works--it isn't so square and little--it is more like a Dinky type of small. I love the features of the leather straps on the side, and the gold rivet type things. And the strap isn't long--yea! It is the short shoulder length that I prefer but can also be hand carried.

Very sunny! I like how the branding on that particular MK isn't so in-your-face like so many of his other styles.

I liked Iam's ideas..... I think if you don't make it for so long you can do it. I also think it is a good idea to enjoy as many of your current collection as you can. I swap out bags too, just on a smaller scale as my collection is much smaller, so I get it. It is hard to not keep looking. But maybe you could do small things like-- just stick to looking at certain sites, and not search all of your regular sites, etc. (so that way you aren't finding things you weren't looking for in the first place, etc). I think the place you will get to eventually is that you will realize if you keep selling bags from your collection to buy more--you will simply want to only buy bags you want to keep long term. At some point most people tire of the buying only to sell not too long after, or they find they aren't using their bags, etc.

I went thru that phase at one point. Fortunately I have gotten past that. With the exception of these latest bags I haven’t bought and kept a bag since probably last summer.

Oh I love this bright yellow! You get an awesome deal? I have a Dillards close by, but never seem to go to the mall anymore. I always forgot about this sale. Probably a good thing. Lol

Well 1 of the 3 bags is going back. It wasn’t the bright green I was hoping for. The yellow one comes in a couple days
Still have to decide if length will work for me. Excited to see this yellow. The other bag is being delivered tomorrow. I haven’t seen this one in person yet. I’m slightly relieved to know I will be sending at least 1 back. I dont need to love all three bags because then I will want to keep all of them and I DEFINITELY don’t need that! You’d have to ship me off to the island of insanity. :p

This is very pretty (even though it is from our forbidden brand, lol). I like the whole look of it. Congrats and enjoy.

That's adorable, and such a great happy yellow! It's so nice you let the other lady have the first bag and found this better one right after.

I've heard of those wild sales. That must have been a funny sight.
