What's wrong with the world...  
Whilst shopping for shoes, I saw this cross-body handbag.

I want it bad.

I cannot have it. It costs $250 and that is just too much for a bag I have almost no use for other than it might keep me from dying of thwarted longing.

Yet I whimper.

Omigod, the bag is exquisite. It would go wonderfully with red shoes. FanSee, not urging you to buy it, but....

as for fretting about not being able to afford your bag (which is stunning btw) I offer you this little tidbit to consider.

The average cost of one 50 minute session with a shrink is aprox $150.00

Having said that, $250 would get you about 1 1/2 sessions with some over educated windbag who just sits there while you "share" OR you could buy a beautiful bag that would clearly be a sound investment in your happiness. Now go do what you think is best. ;)

Ooooh, that is lovely!

$250 really isn't all that bad when you see all those other bags going for $1000+ all the time. ;)

Isn't it basically a large wallet on a strap? What does it hold? Not worth $250, although pretty.

I have absolutely no rational thoughts this afternoon. I think you should do whatever makes you happy and blissful. The bag is very pretty.

It is stunning!!! I know it's only Brian and Justin for you (of which I can understand), but you write the man sex so well - you should write story, make bazillions from the fangirls and women who love man sex and buy pretty purses like this without a care.

Just my 2 cents.

Very cute, but not what I would have thought you'd like. Intersting.

*makes note for Christmas*

And...no, I will not be buying that bag for you. I love you, but I ain't rich. However, if I give you a list, would you go back to that bookstore with the adorable clerk that showed me his dimples and get me some books? Or a pic? :)

When my husband returned from China in June, he bought my daughter a reversible Mandarin jacket that's black felt on one side and bright red silk on the other. Your purse would look stunning with her jacket.

You should buy the bag. You only live once. I bought a stove last week, because I love the stainless steel door handle. I don't even cook. I'm just going to boil water and pet the stove.

Not my taste, but to each their own. It's something I'd expect to find at a market for a tenner. Even then I'd haggle.

Please, puhlease! Get your priorities straight woman!

I cannot believe you even hesitated before purchasing the beautiful little shoulder wallet bag.

I know, pretend you misplaced 250 dollars, then later found it. It's like free then!
