We went out for groceries (I'm high risk so I have to wait outside but the walk there and back gets me out of the house). I usually get DH to buy me a latte at the local coffee bar but there was a line up and he didn't want to wait. I was irrationally upset (in my head) because I wanted that damn latte and I couldn't go in and get it myself and I'm so tired of not being able to DO anything so I came home and bought a black Fendi Spy bag. :angel:
Well that settled that! :lol:
 
My last bag purchase was back in December 2019, a Loewe puzzle bag in medium. My christmas gift to myself. Was able to make the most out of this bag purchase when we spent our Christmas holiday in the States and this became my essential travel bag.
But now, due to COVID and strict quarantine measures from where I live, there is no point using the bag for now. I still admire it from time to time, no regrets from this purchase at all. But this pandemic has shifted a lot of my perspective though of luxury purchases. Because of the uncertainty of the future due to this virus (lay offs, business closures) I would prioritize building up monetary security for now. I am thankful that I am still employed and working from home, but would take this blessing to really save up for an uncertain future.
Beautiful bag!
I purchased something silly from the Karsdashian Kloset. When I get it I think I’ll drink some wine and pretend I’m Kourtney for a bit. :sunnies: :biggrin:
:lol:

Ummmm, I'd rather have a bag anyway! :lol:
Who cares about a latte when you can have a Fendi!!!
Hope I didn't oFendi you!:biggrin:

I just purchased a long denim jacket, maybe just past my hips, by Chico’s, on eBay this morning. I am really feeling it for a longer denim jacket. I missed out on them in store/ online at the end of the summer when they were on sale; they were out of my size. Now they have them, but I have been losing some weight, and combined with WFH and sheltering in place, I may not get to wear it much until the fall if I buy it now. And if I am successful in continuing to drop another size by next fall . . .
So I was looking at denim jackets again on eBay, mostly to look at the cute designs, see what I might like to put on a wish list, and my I see the long denim jacket, NWT , in my size and my offer for $28 plus shipping was accepted! At that price, it can be consigned or donated at a later date and I can enjoy it now. If only out for groceries.
Lol now I can stop surfing denim jackets online.
I had just ordered one as well!! I understand the crave :drinks:

The other day I broke down and ordered both breakfast carry out and dinner carry out. It's the first time since SIP that I've ordered prepared food. It was a weird experience for breakfast I ordered and paid online and they bought it to my car. For dinner I ordered on the phone and paid over the phone. I really wanted tacos for Cinco de mayo but couldn't get though kept getting a busy signal when calling. I had to tell them what car I was picking it up from. I came up and got my food really quickly I saw lots of other cars in the lot some of the people looked irritated. My guess is they thought they could come in and order at the counter and ended up having to order from the car. And one guy got out of his car and wanted to pay cash which I'm sure they're trying to discourage at the moment. The weirdest part the strip mall the restaurant is in has a big empty lot used to be a kmart lol. The lot is used for overflow parking for the beach on busy days but usually empty. There were several groups of people hanging out there. One group was a make shift old car group. In the summer we have a car night once a week and my guess is it was the same people who like to bring their vintage cars to that night hanging out. But two other circles of cars hanging out with camping chairs. I also broke down and had Starbucks for the first time this year too. I usually go through the drive through and use my app to pay so that wasn't any different. But they did have a racoon tearing up their trash. I told them apparently his name is George lol he's probably eating a lot more with less people out.
