Buying the Wrong Purse

I like to think of myself as smart, not cheap, but that's the look I got last time I bought a purse. Learn from my mistake and keep your hip, stylish reputation.

I thought my last purse was smart. Totally hip and stylish looking, and a real bargain to boot. I'm not going to tell you where I bought it, but let's just say it came from an "inexpensive" store. Two days later, I noticed threads hanging off of it, longer and longer with each use. I started having to trim it before I went out. In bright sunlight, it looked awfully shiny. Now it just looks plain cheap to me. Not the look I was going for. Maybe it's time for a new handbag.
