Women and Bags

Women, by nature, love shoes, bags, clothes, cosmetics and so many other things. There is a number of women - especially celebrities - whose shoes, bags and clothes are worth a fortune. I do watch out for photos of Hollywood stars and find out which bag they are carrying. 

While I am not into outrageously expensive bags (I cannot afford them in the first place), I had owned several bags over the years. I pretty much had a bag in the right color(s) for the right occasion. 

Now that I've stopped working and am now a stay-at-home mother, I drastically reduced the number of bags I own to a handful. 

I seriously do not need a lot. Now, that I am a mother, my bag now doubles as a diaper bag. I am telling you, one will find the most interesting things in a mother's purse. I let go of my bag organizer to fit Javi's diaper, baby wipes, extra set of clothes, snack, water, milk, juice. For this reason, I am not really keen on owning a very expensive bag. 

Then I saw a photo from my good friend's Flickr page. For the first time, I longed to own an expensive bag.

If I could own one expensive bag, this would be it. I also read in Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad, if I were to have just one nice bag, it needs to be close to my hair color. Now, this LV bag is the one for me! I am day dreaming with my eyes open.  

We all know how expensive this bag is - I never even bothered to find out how much - so unless someone gives it to me as a gift (my husband not included as he is spending our money so no way) I probably have no way of owning this.  

This same girl friend found another beautiful bag. Yes, she finds the nicest things. This time, I think I can afford this bag.

Okay, Irma, time to wake up from daydreaming and get on with real life.  

That was fun, eh?
