The other weekend when I was in Raleigh, we were in the mall and came through the Belk entrance. The first thing I saw was the Coach display of handbags. Now I’m not a designer handbag kinda girl, but I ♥ Coach. I can’t help it, I just do. I’m a fantasy designer shoe gal. I say that because I love to look at them but don’t own any. Nor do I own a lot of shoes now, but I love designer shoes..doesn’t make sense, I know. But anyway, I was first shocked to see that the Belk in Raleigh carried Coach handbags. They had a sale and it was 30% off and some of the bags were right around $200 on sale. Now the practical side of me says, girl be for real. But then I got to thinking on the way home…I could save up for it, that’s what most people do right? And I could get it for a very special reason… That got me to thinking of what could I base the purchase off of? Like my birthday is too close and I wanna get my Iphone around that time. Christmas time will be about gifts and a lot of other purchases for myself with lots of things being on sale. I decided that I will make it my ultimate reward for losing weight. When I reach my goal weight of 145lbs I will buy myself a Coach bag and it will be well deserved. That’s 50lbs. Gives me time to save up for it and a real reward to work towards.

I didn’t take pictures of the bags I liked while I was in the store because I had the kids with me, but I found some pics online of the bags I love.

$300 is the most I would spend on a bag at this point in my life. And that’s of course a planned purchase that I will be saving for. I think it will be the perfect reward 🙂
