I FINALLY found a new purse!
You didn’t think there was anything else I would announce did you? Hehe
;)
I have a slight purse obsession and had a great string of
luck with gorgeous finds at wicked prices but it seemed to dry up after finding
a black leather Kate Spade bag for a quarter of the original price about two
years ago. I haven’t been able to find
anything lately!
I knew what I really wanted to find in Palm Springs was a
new purse and I was immediately on the hunt but finding nothing. And I didn’t want to pay full price, I am looking
for a wicked deal from an outlet or something, and when I get a beautiful bag
that I love for a screaming deal it’s that much more of a rush… plus I’m trying
to be more responsible ;)
So there I was on my last full day in Palm Springs after
finding nothing on any of the previous 6 days’ worth of shopping (including the
outlets!) and I had to give it one more chance.
I jumped into my mother-in-law’s little car (thanks Mom!) and headed to
areas I had never been to before. No
luck. And then it was getting close to
4pm and I was losing my last afternoon/evening at the pool (I had a bunch of
wine and tequila to finish off!) and I knew I had to make one last stop. One place I hadn’t checked and had never
actually found anything there… TJ Maxx.
I drove 10 minutes in the opposite direction of home, acutely aware of
the sun I was losing and the precious minutes ticking by, and I parked and ran
into the store.
TJ Maxx groups purses by colour or by collection and I found myself first faced with about 20 white bags. I love white but I am totally my mother’s daughter, meaning that I frequently spill something on me or my surroundings, and white would never last. Right after the white I came to the clearance section and that was when I saw a dark green leather bag hiding in the back. A beautiful colour, leather and my current obsession Michael Kors?? On CLEARANCE?? So meant to be!
