the perfect bag
So, I totally love handbags. More specifically, designer handbags. It's an addiction I've had for about 5 years now and the end is not in sight. And after five full years of looking for the perfect bag, a few months ago I found it. Don't get me wrong, I still love, love, love my gucci. And both my louis vuittons will always hold a special place in my heart, but when the pearly gates of heaven open, I'm PRETTY sure this is what is waiting for everyone when they check in.
The Chloe Paddington Bag.
I adore it. I love it. I dream about it. I am totally 100% obsessed. I love the leather, the hardware, the classic look. I need to have it.
But here's the deal -- it's $1,540. That's a 7-day vacation. That's 3 pairs of Jimmy Choos. That's 7 pairs of joe's jeans. It's 1,540 slurpees. I want to buy it so badly, but I just can't do it.
Nick would immediately drive into the bay. (I know this because he tells me everytime I mention Chloe.) And I like him quite a bit so I wouldn't want that to happen.
And the worst part is, it will never go on sale. It's been out for awhile now and some stores STILL have a waiting list. So even if I'm patient, this little leather masterpiece will always be fifteen hundred dollars.
At dinner the other night with friends, it was pointed out that if I put aside $5 every day for a year, I'd have enough to buy it. It was also pointed out I could buy it NOW and then put aside $5 a day to pay the credit card. That's pretty much the same thing, right?

"It's 1,540 slurpees" - classic Tracey. Just get it, go for it -love it!
i like the idea of putting away $5 a day!! and i think it's absolutely gorgeous.
You need this bag. If you sport it every day, its only $4.22 per day of use- completely justifies it all. When you do make the purchase (which i will continue to encourage you to do until you thrown down the plastic) can I hold it when its here in the office?

Don't kill me. I have it. I had to jump over a baby stroller and knock down a mother of 3 to steal off the waiting list! If it makes you feel better, it's still not paid for!
