Handbag Love

Ok, so, I'll admit that handbags just aren't an obsession of mine. Partly, because, I just can't afford the ones I really want! I have basic clutches from various places, nude canvas and leather Coach bag, black canvas and leather coach bag, VV tonal whale tote, pink faux croc Liz Claiborne duffle, and that's about it. When I do by bags, I try to buy ones that will last a LONG time. I rarely carry the croc, so it's lasted. I have worn the Coach ones out! They are 3-4 years old and still going strong. Yesterday, I was exchanging an item at NY&Co., and I just happen to come across this bag.

No way in heck, would I pay $43 for some vinyl. Not me, no ma'am. However, my mum, the original enabler:) pointed out the $14.99 sign. Oh and did I mention that I get a 15% teacher discount??!?!?! So, that made the bag like 12 or 13 bucks. Sold! I got it in red. I thought it was a cute, fun handbag. And, now, I CANNOT make any more trips to the mall. I have nothing to exchange and no "excuse" to go in there. That is the only thing I bought myself this weekend. The rest of the stuff was for BFF's baby shower. Her shower is this Saturday, and I just simply cannot wait:)
