Purse Addiction is a Real Thing



I was browsing around the internet because I realize I have a problem.  I ran into a blog that talks about purse addiction being a real thing.  There are some people that understand the need of walking around with a new purse or a new to them purse.  There are some people that don't get it at all.  I am always looking.  I go to a store and the first place that I go to are the purses.  I know some that go to the shoe section first.  I want to see everything.  I want to look at straps.  It is no secret that my favorite purses are leather and fancy.  Today I was involved in a conversation with a man who was talking about buying a LV for his wife.  This led us to the website.  That LV website is a dangerous thing!!!  My friend (the one who let me post her Alexander Wang) talked about spending her bonus on her next purse.  I have to admit that with all this talk of buying purses, it has me jonesing.  I have to talk myself down from wanting something.  Looking at the purses I already have and making a plan to use them helps.  Looking at Pinterest DOES NOT help.  Ugh!!!!  I can see how people can get into real trouble by having a purse addiction.

Now, they say that confession is good for the soul so I am going to confess.  I have a part time job that I use to buy my purses.  It just so happens that I have to leave my part time job and now what am I going to do?  I'm going to miss having purse money.  I'm definitely going to have to budget and save for the purses that I really want.  Wish me luck!!!  It's already hurting.  It needs to be done.  Now, if you have an amazing purse you want to share with me to help me feel better.  Please post in the comments.  Until next time, enjoy your purses!!!!

By the way, the purse in the picture is Kate Spade.   She is one of my favorites. This one is hanging out with me at a diner and it totally fits in.  This bag spells sophisticated from anywhere.  Just love!

Give Me the Real Stuff

Yes, I have bought a fake thinking it was real.  I know a lot of people that sell purses online and I must admit that I am always tempted to put in an offer.  Here's the problem.  When it comes to purses, I am a kinesthetic person.  I want to touch.  I want to look. I want to have it right in my hands.  If it needs work, that's okay.  I want to know before I purchase a bag that it is something that I can fix.  Today I was walking around and I found a beautiful Charles David oversized handbag.  I would show you a picture but I can't because I didn't buy it.  It wasn't so much that it was abused.  It was dirty and needed a good cleaning.  The issue was that it was missing a rivet.  A rivet is a big deal.  Who is going to replace that rivet?  What about the straps?  I ranted about straps in a previous posts but straps make a bag, believe it or not.  I left the purse where it was.  Somethings you ju...

Who are you wearing your purse for?

There is a dilemma when you go out with fancy purses.  I love fancy purses but I also admit that there is an image when you wear a fancy purse.  I've alluded to this in prior posts but this week I really want to talk about it.  Today I was eating lunch with my family today and I saw the worst Coach knock off I have seen, maybe ever.  Why not wear just a regular bag?  Why resort to this terrible thing?  I know this other lady that I have an association with and she has a really fancy purse. The kind of purse that has more place holders than I could ever afford.  I'm a little envious, if I'm confessing.  So my next question is, "What does she do?"  This question leads to other questions that maybe I shouldn't be thinking but I'll confess them to you.  "How can she afford this fancy purse?"  "Is it a gift?" "Is it real?"  Most people buy their purses because it is in their style and their price point.  They like it and ...

Calling a Spade a spade

Kate Spade.  You should know that I love her stuff.  She has such cute high end stuff.  It's really inventive.  In fact, I was discussing this with someone recently before I got into some really big purse problems... but this is a story for another day... What does it say when you wear a Kate Spade purse?  In fact, what does any purse say?  Do your purses talk for you?  When you see someone with the LV logo, what are you thinking about that person?  What does that say about us that we want to be thought of a certain way?  Is it narcissism?  Is it vanity?  Why wouldn't any old label do? I was talking with some students about a term that they were unfamiliar with.  We were discussing "status symbols."  To many of them, they know about this.  There is discussion of Gucci, Versace and Dolce Gabbana in many of their rap songs.  Of course rappers know and laud labels.  They represent an exclusive type of li...
