I've finally splurged on something, after 8 months of working. It was a good bargain, too, cause Maliha's mom gets a nice discount around this time of year.
First of all, I have to say that I love Michael Kors. I started loving his stuff when I smelled Michael in an issue of Talk magazine (which has since folded), his perfume for women. Then I noticed his runway clothes, and loved those as well. So understandably, I was excited when I heard he would be making an affordable line of clothing and accessories.
This collection happens to be sold at Macy's. We went to shop at Macy's on Saturday, Maliha, Cynthia, and I. I was basically looking for a cashmere sweater or a handbag. And we were going to try on evening gowns, a favorite pasttime of most girls, I think. I couldn't find any cashmere sweater I liked, so I ended up wandering around the purse section near the end of our time there. I was drawn to the Michael Kors collection--there were so many purses that I liked!
I couldn't help myself. I tried on several purses to see how they looked, but I really liked the Aviator tote, as I'd been looking for a large bag anyway. I don't know if it was the nice saleslady, or the fact that I hadn't bought anything while Maliha and Cynthia had already purchased makeup and clothes and perfume, or just that I loved the bag so much, but I bought it.
It ended up being a good thing, because I only paid around two hundred for it, as opposed to three. And got a free Macy's tote bag, too!
Okay, I'm sure most of you will see this as an unnecessary extravagance, but a good purse will last for a long time, so I'm making an investment. And I really love it. It makes me feel so... luxurious when I'm carrying it around. It may not be Louis Vuitton or Burberry or Hermes, but it's perfect for me.
