My Coach Weekend!!

I'm still in shock over how much I expanded my Coach collection this weekend, I went positively Coach crazy :wtf: But I love my new bags! First up is a bag I got from another Coach collector. It's an older style but the bag itself had never been used. I really love it, it reminds me of a big envelope clutch with a strap, kind of retro. I'm saving it for fall because my fall coat has kind of a retro look to it as well. I was so excited about this bag!

So I was pleased to get such a great deal on a pretty new bag and thought that my Coach escapade had come to an end. But NO...I stopped by one of my favorite department stores while travelling to see family this weekend to take a quick look around. Lots of Coach and kate spade on sale, mostly black and white signature Coach bags, nothing I was really interested in. Normally I don't even bother looking at full price Coach because it's SO expensive and the more common bags all go to the outlets anyway. So I browsed quickly, saw the new signature totes that you can monogram (cute, but not impressed for $300, wish they had thicker, more comfortable straps!), a few other bags and decided to make my exit. But I saw the patchwork denim collection, it really caught my eye. The store had a few hobos in blue and beige, and I tried one on for fun. But THEN in the back of a case I spotted the next beautiful bag I got this weekend...the Patchwork Denim Demi! I saw this bag and I was in :heart: ! I tried it on and was sold, even at full price. It's about twice as big as the original demi, so it's a good, functional size, and it matches everything (I wear a lot of denim and it looks great). I've never owned a bag like this, it's sort of flashy, and I didn't think I would ever want to but I adore it. And I've already gotten complements!

So I've been all starry-eyed over my demi all weekend, but I still figured that I should stop by the Coach outlet this weekend to check out the sales. And boy were there sales! I wasn't prepared, I could have spent hundreds if I had it, but after the demi bag I had to budget (the outlet ladies said that they didn't think the patchwork denim would make it to the outlets, so I felt good about that purchase!). Lots of gorgeous scarves, all the leather bracelets were there too, fun key fobs, and really good deals on the linen signature bags from summer. This outlet even had the ombre bags for an additional 30% off. It looks like I came too late to get good deals on the nice leather bags, but there was still plenty to oggle! I ended up with two pieces I'd intended to get for a long time: the Coach goldfish keyfob and a matching gold optic mini skinny. I'm going to use them with my smaller evening bags and maybe occasionally in my patchwork bag (may use the fish as a bag charm). They seem a little bit too delicate for everyday use though. Each piece was under $25, so I think I ended up with some good deals!

Ahh, tonight I'm seriously going to dream about Coach, it's ridiculous! Thanks for letting me share my stories and pics! Now time for fireworks :tender:
