I just got my Christmas bonus and it was great this year! Of course, thoughts immediately turned to buying some LV.
For some reason, I have been dying for the black Multicolore speedy 30. This is the bag I really want, and it's just the perfect price for the portion of my bonus I was planning to spend. However, it's a pretty impractical bag for me for a couple of reasons. I don't usually use bags I can't throw on my shoulder, and the only time I would use a bag the size of the speedy 30 (as opposed to something a bit bigger, like the Aurelia MM) is on the weekends... I like a bigger tote for work.
But on the other hand, maybe it makes sense to just buy something fun to reward myself... plus, since I usually use bigger totes for work and smaller clutches for evening, I've kind of already got those categories taken care of and it might be nice to just buy something frivolous.
What to do? Should I say the heck with it and buy what I really want, even though it might not be the most *practical* purchase? Or do I think about it some more and try to find something that I *need* (or at least something more like the type of bag I use often?)
Thoughts?

I was just about to post GO FOR IT!!! I've had the practical vs. impulsive discussion with DH many, many times. And each time he tells me, "There's nothing practical about buying a 1K+ handbag. So forget practical and just buy what you really want."
