Long Time No Post

I'm horrible at this whole blogging thing. In my defense, school and work took over and I had so little time to think let alone blog about anything. But with my recent graduation and no full time job yet, I'm hoping I will have more time to blog about things. What those things are, I have no idea. Sometimes it may be venting about work, graduate school applications. Other times it may be fashion related. I honestly don't know. I guess it will be whatever floats my boat that day. But I promise to try and make it interesting.

For today, I have to share about some recent purchases I have made.

Owning a Michael Kors bag is something I have been plotting for awhile. I've searched all over and discovered some great places to find them on sale. Little did I know that the place to buy one would be at my place of employment. I took a stroll though the handbag section last night due to no customers in my department. I saw lots of sale sections but immediately went to the MK section. I found this beauty marked as 50%, which brought the price down to $149. I was willing to pay that. But then I learned it was an additional 30% of that price, meaning $104. Even better! Only then did I realize I had a $20 off coupon, so now it's down to $84. With my employee discount working I ended up paying about $55 for this. I could not believe it. In my mind, that means it's practically free. I mean a $300 handbag for a little over $50 is insane. I was happy to pay that.

Now for some details. The bag is black leather with gold accents. the handle is braided and has enough of a drop to carry it comfortably over my shoulder. The lining inside is the traditional MK logo pattern. The inside features one zipper pocket and two side pockets for phones/keys/etc. The back of the bag has a snap closure pocket that extends the whole width of the bag. There is also a open pocket on each end.

Overall I love this bag. I can imagine carrying this bag for years to come. It's so classic and will never go out of style. I'm proud of myself for bypassing the typical logo bag I normally go for and deciding plain was the way to go.

Now I'm moving onto my next sale conquests. I'm up to the task of tracking down some new The North Face jackets, Sperrys, and a nice business suit. Wish me luck!
