Last month, I went to my local boutique with the intention of purchasing the Tattersall Travel Tote, and they were holding the last one for me. But when I got to the boutique and tried it on, it looked too overwhelmingly big on me (I'm only 5 feet tall). I was disappointed, as I really loved this bag, but just couldn't deal with how it looked on me. And I don't care for the Heritage Stripe Tattersall Totes, as I don't like the pink stripe down the middle. So I ended going with the Bleeker Large Canvas tote, which I initially wasn't too crazy about, but looked good on me and felt comfortable. And I ordered the matching framed wristlet as well.
Then, earlier this week, I decided to exchange the Bleeker tote and wristlet for a Carly and a Hamptons wristlet. But after I made the exchange, I felt really lost without the Bleeker tote and wristlet and was kinda depressed all week, like I had "returner's remorse" if there is such a thing. So when my $50 gift card arrived in the mail yesterday, I pretty much ran back to the boutique to re-purchase them, especially after I noticed that the framed wristlet in natural is no longer available on the website. Granted, the $50 gift card didn't make that much of a dent considering the prices of the tote and wristlet ($378 + $148), but I took the card as a a sign that I had to go back to the boutique to retrieve my goodies. And now I'm absolutely in love with my Bleeker Canvas tote! As the song goes, you "don't know what you've got till it's gone!"
I am so pathetic!!
