Simplicity - Renee Shops for a Purse

So, I was 20 minutes from home yesterday, and I was trying to decide whether to stop at the local department store to pick up a purse. You might wonder why I would need 20 minutes to decide whether or not I wanted to go to a store, but I am a person who actually hates to shop! I will do anything to avoid it. I was, therefore, trying to find every excuse why I didn’t need to stop. In the end, I stopped – mainly because I didn’t want to have to come back later and do it!

I went straight from the car to the purse department – no wayward glances or ‘touchy-feel’ of the countless clothes racks I passed on my way to the purses. Once I reached the appropriate department, I went straight to the sale table, picked up a Fossil (I do like Fossil), took out the stuffing paper and silicon packets and tried to fit my writing notebook in it. It was about 1 ½” shy of being able to slip in, but because I liked the bag, I started thinking of ways I could cut off the bottom of the notebook so it would fit, or if I had another notebook I could use instead. The other problem was that the purse was black. Everything I have is black, and I love funky colors in purses and shoes. I still picked up the black one, however, (I liked it enough not to leave it there risking someone else would buy it!) and rounded another bank of shelves and saw the exact same purse in a nice bright orange to complement my lovely red hair. Unfortunately, it wasn’t on sale. Orange is obviously much more attractive in the desert heat than black!

I turned the other way, and fell in love at first sight with a beautiful little glamour bag. I don’t usually have such an immediate reaction, but I do love glam. I plopped it on my shoulder and voilà, I knew I had to have the bag. Thankfully, it was on sale and less expensive than the Fossil. As I was heading to the check out, I was debating in my mind between the black Fossil and the adorable glam bag, when ‘ooh la la,’ I espied a coral Fossil bag (also on sale) and immediately realized how wonderfully it went with my lovely red hair!

Now holding three bags, I tortured the salesperson trying to insist that she decide which of the three I should buy. We talked, we tried, she threw her hands up in the air, but thankfully, she didn’t try to ‘sell’ me on all three. She had figured out by then that I have a ‘thing’ about simplicity, and that I wanted one bag and that I would use that one bag until it really needed to be replaced for some reason. 

In the end, I walked out of the store with all three bags! Sometimes simplicity just doesn’t work! Especially for glam girls who also love Fossil.... The good news is that I shouldn’t have to go ‘purse’ shopping for at least 3 years!

    Life is rich with texture and beauty. Even the parts that seem unwanted hold within them seeds of grace.

    In this blog, you will find all sorts of snippets and vignettes about life - sometimes whimsical, or poetic, or reflective, or my own experiments with life. Perhaps, you will find yourself somewhere in my random musings. 

    I will write as if I were writing in my personal journal.  Where things touch your soul or might be helpful to someone you know, please share this blog with them.
