The mannequin wasn’t feeling well today, so I gave her a sick day. =)
Today I’m featuring my beloved Kenneth Cole large patent tote. The story of this purse, like so many others, is quite a saving money miracle!
I first saw the purse in Macy’s and I loved it. I’d been looking for a laptop tote (which in my definition is a purse that doesn’t resemble any laptop case, but will still fit my beloved MacBook pro) since, well, forever. I knew this was it the moment I saw it. Everything about it was scrumptious. The color. The material. The very funky, but understated details. Yummy. And to my delight, it was it was in the clearance section, so I figured I was in for a treat.
Um yeah, on clearance for a whopping $190.98 (original retail price $358). Ouch. I sighed and put it back on the shelf, so sad to not be taking it home with me.
A few months later, I was still searching for something, anything, to carry my laptop. One chilly Saturday afternoon, I wandered into Finders Keepers Boutique with my mom . . . and there it was. The same purse. Now only $55.00. I was overwhelmed with joy and shock (the lovely consignor had even been thoughtful enough to include the dust bag!).
The moral of the story is that good things come to those who wait.
And by good things, I mean *pretty purses* of course.
