I may wear Payless Shoe Source shoes, but I will spend a few bucks on Coach purses! Alas, everyone and their mothers uncle has cheap Coach purses these days that they buy at the outlet store. Sigh. I do covet Coach purses. And eyewear. Saving up for some Coach reading glasses. But since I don't buy any other name brand fashion stuff, I think my addiction to Coach isn't that bad. Is it?

It is the most beautiful camel-colored leather you've ever seen; smooth as silk. With the classic brass turn clasp. And my God, the smell. It smells better than warm brownies. <br /><br />It was love at first sight. <br /><br />I immediately went to the Coach website and stumbled upon the matching purse. It was perfect in every way. It was also $500. I was broke, 5 months from getting a paycheck, and in light of my 6 figures of debt, I was too practical even to plan post-bar travel. But I promised myself that as soon as I started working, my one gift to myself would be that bag.<br /><br />The week I got my first paycheck I went back to the Coach site to remind myself of the name of my bag so that I could be sure to zero on it as soon as I got to the store. I nearly cried when I discovered that Coach turns over its entire stock every few months. My bag? Not a trace of it anywhere.<br /><br />I feel a hole in my chest to this very day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558355118833959292.post-59083663183918294592011-02-17T08:32:15.000-08:002011-02-17T08:32:15.000-08:00I totally would.
