My Net-a-Porter Sales Purchases

Bottega Veneta Foldover Pouchette $580, now $406; Marni Large Balloon $1620, now $1215So far the Fall bags have either been too pricey or not yet available to me so I have to go back to sale shopping. I thought I was done with sales, usually extra money is reserved for June so that I can take advantage of all the savings (why does this only make sense to women?) but I’m finding myself with nothing to buy for the money earmarked for July and it’s already the 29th! Well, good thing I did because now I can pick up these 2 bags that have been shelved in hopes of finding better bags later in the season but were then forgotten. This is like finding cash in the pocket of a coat you haven’t worn in a long time! Cuz now these bags are super cheap and they are not those bags you buy because they seem like a bargain but then you end up not using them because they only looked good “for the price”. These are essential pieces that I have been wanting and needing! The Bottega Veneta is easy, who can’t use a little bag like that? But the Marni is the one I have been pining for! I know, I feel like a fraud because after all that gushing over the Balloon, I still don’t have one!!! Well, now I do =) There are still a lot of great bags but please stay clear of those that look “good for the price” like the Fendi Patchwork tote. Yikes! It would have to be free to look good for the price. Bottega Veneta Foldover Pouchette, $406 and Marni Large Balloon $1215 at Net-a-Porter.
