273. Bags and Wallets

The title of this blog post alone will have been enough to make Herself and the Parent laugh - I guarantee it. They're probably thinking it's about time I confessed to this particular predilection.

I am a bagandwalletaholic. It's true. And what's peculiar is that the bags are all similar and the wallets are all similar.

I'm searching for the perfect 'one', you see.

Rucksacks, I have a few. Yes. Then again, too few to mention. What can I say? Buying bags and wallets makes me happy because I don't have to try them on. And you can have lots of them without feeling guilty.

That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.

  1. OMG i could not agree more. we are peas podded.

    i just bought a bronze bag on the boden sale (don't judge me i have never bought boden before but it was only £50 - leather, lined and 3 compartments and with NO twiddles or silly wibbly bits and fits A4 and goes over the shoulder) and i always check out the purse section if i find myself in a TK Maxx (usually between crying at how awful the shop is otherwise).

    you can be fat or thin with bags or wallets. they still fit and don't make you feel bad. plus, they are utilitarian and this worth every penny and and 'investment', not at all wasting money when one bag would do until it died in 1940s style austerity. i hear that big bags can make you look thin. has not worked thus far.

    along similar lines i have a scarf and stripey top obsession (i think you and the TG may well be in the same cult for the latter). and if money allowed, i would be the same for coats and jackets. do you think that if we were on the 'money', as it were, we would buy loads more, or is it the fun of buying on the relative budget that makes it more fun?

    However, i still remember your Gucci wallet debacle. i wonder if you will ever be grown up enough to want/use/have one of those....

  2. ps as blue, i imagine but could be wrong, will have little use for such fripperies (for a hound), T will inherit many riches from her mama and auntie. i have just started her on a dressing up box with some fake pearls, pirate outfit and some (inferior natch) bags and purses. and so on the cycle goes..

    please tell your mum that the 'princess shoes' ie what T has christened the Moroccan shoes, are a firm, firm favourite. they are still far to big to wear outside, but she insists on wearing them indoors and waddling about like someone with a melon clenched between their buttocks.
