I have always loved shoes. I never was very concerned with purses. Then it started. I don't change my purse often though. Within the last couple years it has progressed to the more expensive purses. I bought myself a Dooney and Bourke purse about a year and a half ago. Then I really wanted a giraffe print one. I had decided that I would just purchase a knock off version then my dad surprised me with the real thing. I've been carrying that purse since last August when he gave it to me. If I had bought it myself, I probably would have moved on by now. But as Caseysmom mentioned, I know how much he spent on it so I want to be sure I get his money's worth out of it. Within the last couple weeks, I've been looking into a new purse purchase. Maybe next time I go to TJMaxx I'll find a Tignanello one I can't live without. Although I do know which style I want for my next Dooney bag. Perhaps I should have a little birdie tell my mom so she can direct my dad in the correct direction if he'd like to buy me another one.
