We all know how enabling this forum is as far as buying too many bags (fess up, we all do it!), but I never in a gazillion years thought I'd end up turning the DH into a bag snob!!!
I've been laid up the past month with a blown disc in my back and then from the surgery last week, so I've had TOO much time on my hands to shop online. Yesterday, the motherload of my shopping arrived. I got a new Cole Haan black satchel handbag and a beautiful sort of denim blue Michael Kors studded hobo yesterday in the mail. Since I've been laid up, I've been carrying my open top Prada beige hobo since it's a smaller bag and easily accessible for INSURANCE CARDS & CO-PAYS (grr) at hospitals and doctor's office.
Yesterday afternoon, all three bags were sitting on a chair in the living room. Just for the heck of it, I asked DH to give the three bags a good look, touch, whatever and tell me which HE liked the best. Either I've rubbed off on him or he just plain has learned to appreciate the really good stuff, but after giving all three bags a good going over, he said that without queston, the Prada was the one that he liked the best!
Mind you, Cole Haan and Michael Kors aren't exactly cheap discount department store handbags, but I couldn't help but feel I have done my job well as a designer handbag loving wife when he went for the Prada.
