My memory is so bad :lol:. I thought you have/had a purple tearose one? Maybe it’s the purple link one I am thinking of? In any case, you have the most beautiful Dinkies :smile:
Thank you! I have some recent link bags, so probably what you are thinking of. I have purple link as well as a melon link bag (the purple one is the one that Chelsea added the pretty flowers to it).
 
So frustrated! I decided to log onto my credit card to see my recent transactions and there are two pending transactions I didn't make. So I called the fraud line and there is no one there. I have to wait until tomorrow and worry all night about someone using my credit card. The two fraudulent charges are Dillards and Saks.
That is stressful. I hate having to wait overnight to resolve things.

Today they tried to use my card at Best Buy and Apple and those were declined. Most fraud seems to involve electronics and they catch those but if I hadn't called the Dillards and Saks charges would have gone through. I really want to know what they bought!

They've cancelled the card. It's annoying now because I use that card for a lot of automatic payments and I have an Amazon order that hasn't charged yet. Now I have to learn a new security code. I had the old one memorized.

That is annoying. And sometimes it is easy to forget things that use that card so it causes issues. Glad they got it cancelled, and good luck!
 
I had a chance to look at and buy the purple Fossil that is kinda like the ban island club bag :lol:. At 70% off!!!!! That’s practically free :lol:. But it’s a bit too small for me and won’t work especially with the drawstring closure (like if I put too much in it, I don’t think it would close properly). Love the color :heart:. I kinda like the next bigger size up bag in the same color with the zip closure (the chain can go though). So no breaking ban today :smile:

Also, did a quick walk through the Coach outlet and there were no reserve items at all and not much of anything else (no denim butterflie, darn :lol:).

Such a pretty purple! :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: I'm with you on not loving the chain. Too bad it isn't removable. :blah:

Why didn't you get the larger size? Not to enable or anything. The drawstring on the small is kind of annoying. I'm training mine to close tighter.

I don't like reading that about the outlet. I'm planning on going soon to return the bag that didn't work out and use more coupons.

It was very hard to walk away from a $45 and a $60 pretty purple bag :lol: I think it’s probably worth it even for one season only :lol:. Since I am limiting my bag purchase to 1 or 2 this year, I am really trying to wait until something really special or without an obvious negative for me (in this case, the size and drawstring on one and the silver chain on the other). Maybe it’s just this one outlet that sucks — I haven’t been to this one in at least 3 years but I used to go there often and gotten some of my Duffles and Sullivan’s there. I hope your outlet is better.

I agree, you should wait for something special and perfect. Don't settle. Although it just occurred to me that if I'm interested in a color that I might not use much, getting a cheaper bag is probably a good idea. Like my orange bag I only carry once a year.

I am glad you took the opportunity to think about it and walk away. I used to buy Fossil before I discovered Coach and became a handbag addict, lol! I can't pull the trigger on it anymore though as I have found that when I stray from Coach on a lesser brand or a brand like MK, I just don't end up using it much. Sometimes I see things that look pretty, but if I own them, I just don't use them. Not really sure why, but I have tried to learn my lesson on it, lol

I've strayed a lot from Coach in recent years! Lately there aren't as many bags I like or they are too expensive. I've become less brand loyal, and I'm trying to evaluate each purse on its merits without taking into consideration which brand it is.

That's a pretty purple, but I'm proud of you for walking away! You will find one you love that works for you. I'm disappointed too that you didn't find the denim butterflies charm. ;) Hopefully you will see it soon.

Thanks for being proud of me this one time I resisted. :lol:. It was such a good deal for such a pretty color. It cost more to fill the tank of my car these days :lol:.
