Unless you get it on sale:)
This nylon Longchamp that everyone is sporting for a casual outing or work commute was something I had been on the fence about for a long time. I mean come on... who pays $125 for something this... generic looking? And somewhere along the way, I too, bought into media propaganda. Of course, this was only because I found it at the outlets. I paid a bit over half price. Score!
Now don't get me wrong. I still was debating purchasing this bag when I was at Bloomingdales The Outlet Store. I was on the wrong side of the display holding onto an orange number unsure what to do. It must have been at least four women who stopped by the display while I was there... of which three picked a bag up and walked away. I walked around the otherside debating if I should get the large orange one with long handles and then I saw it... the exact one in pink but in a medium size. I got so excited. They had a ton of the ones that were handheld or just went up to the crook of your elbow. But it was the over-the-shoulder ones that were limited.
When I saw the medium pink one I grabbed it with glee! I quickly folded and put back the large orange one. There was even a pretty sky blue medium bag available. Pink it was! The only reason why it was there at the outlets was because it was a discontinued color of pink. Good news that all shades of pink are my favorite color! It was meant to be.
When I had made my purchase, I walked past the display on the way out of the store. Of the four pink bags with the long handles,only one was left! I should have known the popularity of these things. It was on display right when you walked into the store. And I quickly realized it when everyone was grabbing one when they walked by. Crazy.
So of course, the moment I went home I clipped the tags. No way this was going to be reconsidered and returned. I took her out for a spin shopping. So lightweight! Water resistant. Full zipper closure. I even took her to the gym instead of my usual Kate Spade leather bag. And the size? Perfect without the bulk. I'm short. So sometimes when a bag is so big, I get swallowed up. Not this one. It's so cute! So casual without being sloppy. Although I did see a girl sport this to a recent wedding... hmmmmmm...that was kinda weird... but why not? Maybe she just bought it and paid full price;)
