The Only BS I Need in My Life are Bags & Shoes!

I self admittedly have an obsession with handbags; and unfortunately, with age, that obsession has grown, as have my taste's in designers.However, I too have limits in that: first, I never pay full price (which is a general rule for most purchases), second, I never make rash purchase decisions when it comes to my newest bag addition, and third, some brands will forever be off limits unless I manage to win the lottery sometime in the future. So, this brings me to the dilemma I was having with my obsession with Louis Vuitton. It started with a print, and the style took a backseat; but for the longest time I had my eye on the Neverfull, and later the speedy (mostly for cost reasons). 

Thus, I began my search. My search for that bag, at a fraction of the cost, and in near pristine condition. HA! I know, at this point you're laughing at me to, and I don't blame you. But hear me out; I've spent a lot of my shopping days, online, and on the hunt for the best deal I can find on the latest must have item on my list. But with LV it's just not that simple. While you can find somewhat of steals, most of them have ink damage, or tears, etc--enter my OCD. That would just NOT do! Every time I open my bag I'd have to see that, and just to have that fabulous print, and designer label? No thanks. 

So then it happened. I remembered seeing this print somewhere else awhile ago, and thus begun my new hunt--for the bag I now own, and very much adore. Michael Kors had a very similar print a couple years ago, and lucky me I found one, new with tags, on my good friend eBay :) I love the beaded straps, multiple interior compartments/middle divider, and most importantly that beautiful checker design! So now I have it, love it, and won't stay up at night feeling guilty over settling for something I just didn't need. 

P.S. On a side note, I had also considered this Barrington bag, same concept as far as design, and I LOVE their bags. However, I really was leaning towards leather, so that was a driving factor, but still-worth a look.

As always, thanks for stopping by, xoxo
