Guest Bag Blogger: Cindy of Conversations with Famous Writers
I would like to introduce you to the turquoise studded bag I bought last year at Kohl's. I was probably headed into the store for something entirely different like a birthday present for a friend or a new pair of underpants when my eye fell onto this charming purse at the bottom of a sale rack, sitting alone like a sad puppy. It was 30% off and with an extra 10% off for using my Kohl's card, it would only be $12. This girl cannot pass up a bargain! I decided to buy it even though it was completely impulsive and I did not need yet another purse. I tossed it into my cart and forgot why I came to the store in the first place. A shirt and a pair of shoes later, I headed home with my goodies.
I really wanted one of those huge bags like the Olsen sisters carry around. But this bag offered to glam up any outfit and it easily accommodated several receipts from Target, my makeup bag along with a bulging wallet (bulging with change) my keys and a few pens and random gum wrappers and of course, the oversized sunglasses.
Even when I'm a non-trendy slob in simple jeans and a tee shirt with flip-flops, the bag dresses me up and lets people know that I'm not a complete slacker. The bag says, "This person is hip! She is trendy! The color matches her eyes!"
I lust after the Birkin bags and drool over the Balenciagas, but am quite happy with my no name Kohl's bag with the faux leather and rhinestones instead of Swarovski crystals and imported Italian leather . My Kate Spade is gathering dust because I'm too afraid to use it- what if I get it dirty? What if I lose it? With the turquoise bag on my arm, I have no worries in the world.
