It’s not really the ideal time for shopping, what with the whole economic meltdown and all. So why do I find myself pining for this:
Mona Lethal Tano Handbag
Well, if I had to guess, it’s the sketchy state of the world as we know it that’s got me thinking about a little retail therapy. As much as I firmly believe that less is more, there’s no denying the comfort to be found–albeit temporary and misguided–in a little shopping.
I’m a bag slung over my shoulder kind of gal. Not that I don’t love adorable little Kate Spade and Coach numbers, they just don’t seem to go with converse and Lucky jeans so well.
Which is why this Tano bag is perfect. It’s oh-so practical with the added appeal of buttery soft leather and way cool color options. Me, I’d like the pomegranate please.
And at a cost of $215, I think I’ll take one in blueberry as well. Not.
I think I’ll skip the short-term shopping high for something a little more lasting–like the continued service Qwest will guarantee if I actually pay my phone bill.
As for the bag? I’ll put it on the “Once I sell a book I’ll get me one of these” list.
L.O.V.E. it. And even though I have nothing that would match it, I would have to opt for the Mandarin Orange… that is if I gave into my own bag lust… which I won’t. Ah-hem. Back to work for me. When is the recession over?
Go for the therapy! If two-thirds of the economy is based on consumer spending, wouldn’t you be doing the country a favor?
I happen to be in the market for a new bag; Purple is my new Power Color… but the Mandarin Orange would sure put some color into the drap winter we’re headed for.
