This weekend and today I made two exciting purchases. I have been thinking about these things and finally splurged with my budget money to get them.
First, this weekend I bought a fuschia Beijo wallet. My friend Nikki's mom sells Beijo purses. She gave me and the other girls in Nikki's wedding all Beijo purses to match our bridesmaid dresses. I had never heard of Beijo, but Oprah has! For my birthday, Nikki gave me a chocolate mini-wallet, which I love! Unfortunately I needed a place to put all my gift cards or frequent shopper cards...so I bought a larger wallet. I love the feel of the material, I have no idea how to describe it. It's super smooth and the wallet just fits so nicely in my hand. It's sleek. That's a great word for it. I love this bright pink color, too. Here is my beautiful new wallet:
And today, after lots of consideration and deliberation I stopped at Vera Bradley on the way home to buy the Mod Floral Pink Hipster bag. All summer I have wanted a bag I can throw over my shoulder...and now I have found it. I remember seeing old ladies with Vera Bradley purses when I was in high school and always thinking they were cool..even though they kind of seemed like they were for old ladies. I really love this new pattern and I don't think Vera Bradley is for old ladies at all. The store is really neat with lots of colors and just bags on shelves every where. I was so excited to get home and put all my stuff in my new purse. Love it!
I have been more careful lately as far as my purchases. I really think about what I want and then buy something that is really worth spending the money on versus spending it on little things or on Starbucks (although I so love Starbucks). I thought long and hard about my two purchases and I felt good when I bought them because of it. Honestly, I think a girl deserves to buy herself some nice things every once in a while...or once every paycheck. Life's short, we've got to live a little!
