What up dudes.
So. It's finally happened. I'm getting into the bag game.
As I grow older, I'm finding, rather, accepting certain things about myself. I used to spend a couple of hundred dollars on a purse at once. Coach was my jam for a while. They're pretty. And the smell of leather, OH! The smell of leather...and they made such a big deal out of them. By they, I mean other women. I LOVE your purse- is that the new Coach bag? One of my former students: Where'd you get that? 52nd street? Me: Uh, Macy's. It's real. <<her eyes widen.>>
I can't lie, those compliments always made me feel good- but you know what didn't? Spending $300+ to make it happen. And the BACK PAIN!! OH! The back pain from all of that HEAVY leather and metal hardware. I get really bad back knots...and those sporadic compliments did NOT alleviate the pain that was caused by carrying around 30 pounds of crap in a 25 pound leather purse.
A few months ago my MIL was sitting at work and a coworker approached her about a fundraiser- she was selling Thirty-one bags. She was guilted into buying two- one for me and a personalized lunch pail for BB (since it's likely we'll NEVER walk into a Hallmark and find a prefab kid's key chain/mug/shirt with 'Maksim' on it.)
So long story short- no matter how much I like the feeling I get from people being SO JEALOUS they can hardly stand - because my bag was $300 and awesome (dripping with sarcasm) I much prefer getting a $30 bag, the same compliments and have it be light as a feather. With a hundred pockets. To carry all of my things. Because Mama needs her things.
So, with Christmas around the corner, hollar at me if you want to get something- here's my site.
I'd love to host a part on your blog too- so creepers who read and don't comment, get your asses out of the creeper closet and say hello! Hostesses get FANTASTIC free gifts...AND we don't have to actually have the party at someone's house and worry about all of the mayonnaise and cream cheese based dips. Unless you want to throw a party- I'll be happy to do that too!
