MAILBAG: Graduation Splurge
So I’ve emailed you before because your blog is my favorite. And so I know you think nice bags are worth the splurge. Bags are the only thing I spend more than like $35 on. I’d like your opinion of this bag. Because I’m in love with it but my mother doesn’t think it’s worth $500 (and i know you just wrote about how Marc Jacobs doesn’t make clothes for real women but I figure bags are a different story). I just got $300 from some relatives for my graduation and kind of feel like I deserve to buy myself something nice.
What do you think? Worth it?
Hey doll,
Mmkay, so $498 is a whole lotta dough for a bag. Lucky you, this will only be $200 of your own moolah, which makes it much more reasonable. The $300 from your relatives is a GIFT, which means you can spend it however the eff you want, so don’t let mommy talk you out of how you want to spend it. I think the bag totally rocks - I love that you chose purple too (my navy Abaco was the first non-neutral colored bag I bought and I couldn’t be happier with it). But before you go for it, I want you to ask yourself the following questions:
Am I totally obsessed with this bag?
Will I wear - and love wearing this bag - for a minimum of five years?
Is it big and versatile enough to accommodate my lifestyle? (i.e. can you wear it every day to work if you feel like it?)
If you’ve got three yesses, DO IT. I applaud your taste - it’s a pretty kickass bag.
mwah!

ps. the bag is gorg. and high quality. leather bags also tend to age nicely so i say go for it.
@ 4:47 pm on September 23rd, 2008Gorgeous bag and versatile too, so this is totally worth the investment. Don’t feel so conflicted! I just dropped $500 on a Gucci wristlet to celebrate my grad and first trip to Asia :p
