Mama Bought Herself A New Purse

I hope I don't kick myself for this purchase, but I broke down and bought myself a new purse.  It isn't just any purse either, I bought myself a Coach purse.  This isn't my first Coach purse, I got a vintage Coach purse a couple of years ago from a purse exchange we did with a ladies in my family.  Wendi, if you are reading this, I still love the purse!

In an effort to move spring along here, and also to continue on with my love of pink things, I bought a pink purse.  I'm not a huge fan of the Coach symbol all over things, but I am a fan of the Coach quality, so I bought a leather bag.  I bought this bad boy off Ebay, which is why I say I hope I don't kick myself when it arrives.

Here is my new lovely

I usually buy purses twice a year, in fact I actually have a budget to do so.  I have been on the hunt for a while for a purse I likes.  Yesterday, we ventured out to Younkers to buy Andrew some new work pants, so I thought I would take a look at the purses while we were there.  I was pretty excited about the prospect of buying a purse there too because it was Goodwill days and I took some clothes in to donate so I could get some coupons.  I pretty much had coupons to get me half off a purse. Much to my dismay, I found zilch in the way of a purse I liked.  It doesn't take me long to cruise through purses and figure out if something is going to work for me.  My major go-to brands are Fossil and Tignanello.  Both are good quality, which is something I look for in a purse. 

I used to buy cheap ones all the time, like they were candy.  However, after using them for a month or so, they would look like crap and I had to get rid of them.  Once again, I found out that you get what you pay for.  So, just like I have with clothes, I started buying the more expensive handbags so they will last longer.  Now, rather than having twenty cheapo handbags, I have about ten really good ones.  Some of them are showing more damage than others, but they are all still in pretty good shape.  I pretty excited for my new purse to show up though!  I will have to let you guys know my thoughts on it when it arrives; it should be here at the end of the week.
