Red Michael Michael Kors Hamilton Tote

I purchased a Michael Kors red Hamilton tote bag.

No, my financial situation has not changed. I am still penniless. So how did I manage to purchase a $358.00 #MichaelKors #totebag?

With my credit card.

Yeah I know. Totally irresponsible.

How many times have I written how irresponsible it would be to risk my credit in order to obtain material things that I do not really need?

But I woke up the other day feeling seriously frustrated about my circumstances. And after doing some thinking, I realized I only have one life to live. And since it seems the gods have no intention of ever fixing it so I will be able to afford to buy something nice for myself from time to time as a reward for all my hard work, I decided to stop worrying about my credit and buy myself a Michael Kors red Hamilton tote bag.

The Michael Kors red Hamilton tote bag isn’t even an expensive bag when you consider the price of bags from brands like Chanel and Celine (and let’s not even get started on Hermes). But it’s still super expensive for me. This bag has been on my wishlist for a minute. And when I saw that it was on sale at Macy’s I made the impulsive (defiant?) decision to go ahead and buy it.

Of course you can’t really call it impulse shopping when you buy something online because you have enough time from clicking add to cart to clicking the final order button for reason to kick in. But I refused to listen to the voice in my head that was telling me I was about to do something utterly and unforgivably stupid. And I went ahead and completed the order.

And the bag arrived today.

So how do I feel now that I’ve purchased my first kinda sorta expensive even though cheap by comparison to other brands designer bag?

To be 100% honest, I feel like I’ve done something stupid and unnecessary.

The bag is nice. I definitely like it. But I can’t claim to really need it. And I’ve been working hard at getting my credit card balance down. So sabotaging that in order to have a bag I don’t need wasn’t very smart.

And while the bag is gorgeous, I don’t feel any extra excitement to have it. It’s still just a bag. So I’m seriously thinking I’m going to have to send it back and wait until I can actually afford it to buy it again. We’ll see what happens over the next few days.

Buying a $300 bag is empowering and liberating?

I do have to say, even if I do decide to return the bag, I’m glad that I bought it. I’ve been wavering back and forth for so long. I feel somehow empowered and liberated by having gone ahead and made the purchase.

Singer songwriter Adelamonica AKA Avenue Sixty editor in chief. Writing as Monica for The Monica Archives. Writing has always been one of my passions. In fact, when I was a teenager, I used to tell people they should remember my name, because I was going to become a famous author. I used to live to write and write to live--not in the sense of writing for income but writing to combat depression and to feel a sense of purpose. I've written novels, poems, articles and essays that I tried unsuccessfully to get published over many years starting in my teens. When I discovered blogging several ages ago, I turned to that avenue as a means of doing what I love without having to worry about publishers and their rejection letters. Modeling is also something I have always enjoyed and something I wanted very badly to do as a teenager. So badly that I used to lie and tell people I was a model. I would carry around a large portfolio style photo album and claim it was my modeling portfolio. But, as with my writing, the people with the power to make my modeling dreams come true saw nothing in me that made them stop me in the streets of New York to offer me a modeling contract with their agency. So when I discovered the ability to photograph my own self (before cell phones and selfies) I took up a hobby of pretend modeling at home and that hobby has remained with me throughout my life as a form of self expression and self therapy. I ask that you kindly excuse my lack of worldliness and any instances where I demonstrate lack of tact or lack of knowledge and even lack of basic intelligence in my writing and posing. I'm just here trying to have a little fun doing the things that make me happy. I'm just an average human for whom writing and posing and singing and dancing and the other things I do are ways I express myself and keep myself going on this ever challenging journey of life. I hope you will find something even remotely useful or interesting in the things I share.
