I've never been "one of those girls". You know what mean. Shopping for designer outfits every week. Spending a small fortune "trying" to be something I'm not, however hard I may have tried to be. It just wasn't in the cards for me. I do my best to be a good steward of my money & my business. I would much rather thrift store shop not only for great treasures for my shop, but also for my clothes.
So, YES! I wear thrift store clothes! And YES! I'm "one of those girls". I'm close enough to Chicago to have some of the MOST amazing thrift stores! And many of the clothes I buy, STILL HAVE THE STORE/DESIGNER LABEL TAGS on them! I don't buy all my clothes at thrift store, but some of my best compliments have come from clothes I have paid just a few dollars for~ (Yea ME!:) So it's always a shock to my family, and myself when I really splurge on something...meaning I actually shopped at a department store or real on-line store like I just did the other day.
As many of you know, March was crazy for me and I was gone for most of the month. As a special treat, I decided to buy a little something for myself. Now, this is TOTALLY out of character for me. First of all because it was a real store. Secondly, I do not, let me repeat, I DO NOT purse shop. My lovely mother-in-law usually buys my purses and wallets. Which I am SO thankful for as I loathe purse shopping. But surviving March was monumental and deserved a little something equally as monumental. Ready??
A brand spankin new COACH PURSE!
So I hate to admit, either way you look at it, I'm still "one of those girls".
Enjoy~

Isn't it pretty? So not only am I "one of those girls" who buys her clothes at thrift stores, but I'm also "one of those girls" who sports a sweet little pink Coach purse! Ok! Ok! So it's last years "model, color, & style". And an Ebay factory store really isn't a real store. You can't expect me to quit searching for the best deal cold turkey! :)
