Halcyon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I bought a new purse, which i generally do once a year. My treat to myselsf! Anyway, this one was a tad more than i usually spend (but still, 50% off!) so i feel a little guilty. Also, i am giving a few older bags to my church thrift shop-they are in great shape, but theyre just not right for me (I am finally accepting that if i havent used it in ayear, i am sure someone else would be happy to have it!).....so even though i technically didnt "need" a new purse, in buying one i was able to let go of some that i dont use, so.....even steven right?? :lol: i really love this purse, and it is my only real gift to myself that isnt a "neccesity" in a while.......so it's okay, right?:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It's ok that you bought a new purse. I don't buy super-expensive purses, but I sure do love a good quality purse. Sometimes we mommies just have to treat ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well for something you use EVERY DAY, the cost per day is a mere few cents, right? I mean, you couldn't rent a purse for that, couldya?:D Besides, frequent-use items need to be of good quality so they will hold up under all that usage. I don't buy purses very often. When I find one I like, I stick with it for 2-3 years, til it literally starts to fall apart. I just tie a different scarf to the strap for a seasonal change. Just tell yourself you made a good investment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am eyeing one myself, so I can't very well tell you that you can't get one. Besides, the new SUV will go great with your new purse.

It takes me quite a while to find a purse I like and once I do I keep it for a long time - so to me spending a little more on a purse is worth it because I get my money worth. I'd figure that if you spent around $40 and use it for a year - that's what??? less than $4 per month? Totally worth it, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
