Let's talk Vera Bradley, shall we?

MMMMKKKK....I hated it HATED it forever. It was too...patterned....too paisley....too country. I literally would cringe when I saw it. I loved my Coach...my Sac and the occasional cool sac/coach look alikes from TJ Maxx. For the record, I STILL love those brands....but unfortunately you have to grow up at some point and realize that COACH $$ doesn't grow on trees! Maybe when the kiddos are like 24 and 25 I will be able to afford a $200+ purse again.....(one can dream, right?)

ANYWAY....somewhere along the road (after I had babies) I started to feel something. Just a little twinge....dare I say it? I wanted to 'try' out a Vera. The bright colors and the fact that I could machine wash them started to appeal to me. Also, there was a place for bottles in a 'Carryall' (that style is now discontinued, but in it's place is the Cargo Sling...LOVE IT!) My mother, angel that she is, bought me one! Well...needless to say it's been all downhill from there. Currently in my possession are a 3 count them 3 bags and MANY accessories (and I resell all of mine on eBay...so I have had at least one new one per season for a couple of years) I guess they are a great option for this stage in my life....although I am growing a little weary of them. I think I need a new COACH....


Wow...how's that for rambling? What do you think? Like em? LOVE EM? HATE EM??????
