Somebody stop me!

OK I'm trying really hard not to drop a huge chunk of change on this incredibly beautiful sueded leather Kate Spade handbag. I'm losing the battle. If I don't get some help soon I'm gonna spend money slated for redecorating my guestroom on this fabulous luxury item. Help! x(
 
STOP!!!! Don't do it, Laura! Just think how nice that guestroom will look... and how many handbags does a girl really need, anyhow? Come on now. It's all about will power. you can do it.

Did that help?
 
Um...is this from the new Lake Forest collection?....I don't think I'm going to be able to help you....;-)
 
And I should stop you why? Do you have a really nice purse or four? If so, then rethink it, but every woman deserves a killer purse...
 
I've been trying to type something that would help you. But I'm sorry, I'll have to think on this some more ;-) . You could attract the house guests from hell. OTOH, a nice hand bag could be heavenly.

Hmmmm this is a tough one. Which will last longer, the handbag or the guest in the comfortable new guest room }( .

I am sorry, but I can't help you either}( I love a new bag and really if you take care of them they will last forever.

The same can be said for the house guest :7

LOL,

OMG! You guys are too funny! Although hardly a bit of help LOL. Hmmmm what do I need more, a beautiful new purse or a beautiful new guestroom? Shall we list the pros & cons?

Pros:
--my #1 reason for spending lots on new purses: unlike shoes, sweaters or other clothes, you "wear" it pretty much every day, so my purse is much more visible than my guestroom
--I love it & probably will not be able to sleep at night until it's in my hot little hands
--people will think I'm wealthy
--I have no reason to use my guestroom in the foreseeable future (mostly for the reasons mentioned above), but I could use that purse tomorrow

Cons:
--The guestroom is the only room left in the house that's unfinished

Crap. I think I've made my decision. And I will NOT post a link b/c I'd be embarassed for you all to see my extravagance......:p

I don't want to take a pill. Go to Africa, go follow some bushman around. He's being chased by a lion. That's stress. You're not going to find a pygmy on Paxil, I'll tell you that right now.

Laura,
Dear god, woman, tell me you're not going to buy the bag that's $525.....

I learned my lesson when I went on a Coach binge a few years ago. I bought, like, 4 of those bags in approximately 2 months. And now I hate them and they sit in the back of my closet. I have way too many. From now on my purses only come from Target, Kohl's, or the like.

I couldn't help myself. I peeked at the web page. :eek: Yowza!

Plan 1
Okay here's the plan. Redo the guest room, charge a small fee to your guests, and buy the purse. Or, just buy the purse and hit ME over the head for making light of your struggle.

Plan 2
Time to get serious, you will always want something new. Make the better investment and stick with your original plan. Cut back on something you wanted for the guest room and put the savings aside. In good time, you will have saved enough for the purse.

What will it be,

What web page are you guys looking at? It's not $525. ;-)

I don't know, I've spend all my money on my house for the last 6 mos. I've replaced all the shades w/new wood blinds. I installed an attic ladder. I put new drawer pulls & knobs in the kitchen (sounds small but those suckers add up!). I painted the second floor. I finished my basement. I bought a puppy, probably the most important purchase so far (I love my little girl! :) ) .

I haven't bought anything new for myself since I bought this house. My work clothes are fraying & the armstrap on my current handbag is all crinkled & faded. The most I've spent on clothes is getting my dry cleaning done.

Jordan, I'm not sure I could charge my guests. If anything they'd probably charge me a fee for having to try to sleep w/2 crazy dogs running around the house. :7
 
>Laura, GET THE PURSE! :D }( :D


}( The devil made me do it.

I'm just having too much fun with this little thread when I should be at the grocery store. Where's Banslug?

Laura, I'm the feed the pig member of my household. If I had started this thread DH would have already gone out and bought the purse for me. Since the guest room can wait, go ahead a treat yourself.

Yep, Laura. You've made some very valid points IN FAVOR of the purse. Go get it now. And take a picture of it so I can see!!! :D
