Guess What?
I didn’t something a little out of character the other day.
Something that I think many women have already done.
But something I didn’t actually think I would EVER do.
I bought an expensive handbag.
I Guess it’s not the MOST expensive handbag I could have bought BUT my last handbag was $14. I generally NEVER spend more than $30.
To be honest, I’ve never felt the need.
A handbag is meant to be functional right?
But slowly, as my journey toward celebrating my femininity rather than hiding it (childhood issues), I have been finding a new love.
Well, several new loves actually.
Clothing.
Jewellery.
Shoes.
And Handbags!
So, when I had some money from Google to spend all on ME!!!
My first thoughts went to a new handbag and shoes.
Usually I like to get as MUCH for my money as I can.
But for some reason I absolutely fell in LOVE with this handbag and bought it.
Shoes will have to wait.
And it’s still making me smile!
Even more so because I actually BOUGHT it.
Even when I have money, I’m loathe to spend it on myself.
I think it comes down to a lack of self worth.
So for me, this purchase was about so much more than handbags.
It was about feeling I was worthy of something that makes me smile every time I see it.
HUGE progress. 
P.S. Thanks Strandbags for having 25% off Guess Handbags at the moment (and for giving me an extra 5% off for joining your loyalty program)!!!! And for opening a store in Whyalla. It could be my new favourite store! Oh no, have just realised I can shop ONLINE at Strandbags. NOT a good find! LOL. Although I do like to see my handbags “in the flesh” when buying.
P.P.S. If you have “handbag envy”, you can find this handbag here.

Nice bag! I like it a lot. The style, but not the colour. I’d never have a white handbag. I’d be forever cleaning off marks or not using it at all in case it got dirty. Same reason that I have only one white t-shirt I suppose.
I rarely spend more than $30 on a handbag myself. I do have a leather backpack that cost a bit more than that, but it will last forever. My last two handbags I got at the Harris Scarfe closing down sale, both leather, one for $30 and one for $26. They’ll probably be the last bags I ever buy. I do need some clothes though……
Nice handbag - I’ve got a semi-expensive one for the first time too but it’s not as fancy-looking as yours. It’s a black Hedgren designed for travelling and to hopefully make it harder for pickpockets….
Not a big spender on myself here either, nor am I a “girly girl”. I do love your bag though, and yep I’m with you, rarely buy myself a new bag and when I do it’s el cheapo
Congrats on treating yourself, we all need a treat sometimes and yes, you do deserve it
