Default My Paddy

well girls, i am a new mom of a much-coveted chocolate chloe paddington! i want to say "proud" but as some of you know, this purchase was impulsive, naughty and downright selfish. i want to say i love her, but maybe it was infatuation? or maybe i don't think i deserve to love her? arrrggghhh... what a dilemma!

this paddy really is a gorgeous chocolate color, but i guess i'm not utterly thrilled just yet because i see this as a fall/winter bag since it's so dark. she's a nice leather and the padlock and other details are really phenomenal. overall not as heavy as some people make it out to be, and i have the medium one with a small front pocket (11L x 9H x 8D). i am not all that thrilled about how slouchy this purse is - i guess i prefer bags with structure. and she can hold a LOT of stuff - but i wouldn't do that just because it would really be super heavy.

i must say that overall she is indeed beautiful (!!!) but i'm sorta keeping my distance and only occasionally stealing glances but promptly storing her back in her dust bag and box because i don't want to get too attached in case i need to sell her.

i have been waiting for her for a long, long time! and the anticipation was making me crazy but i guess the guilt is still there because i love my hubby so much. so unless he agrees to let me spend some of my recently liquidated stock on "anything i want" then we may have to part ways. because i honestly am enjoying my coach brown leather mia satchel and i may be too nervous carrying around such an expensive bag and worrying about it being stolen or damaged or whatever!

we'll see. to be continued...

uhhhh, hmmmm, i think hubbies are an obstacle in our undying love affair for bags LOL maybe we should get rid of them (kidding)!! but seriously, have some quiet moment with hubby and talk about it. i think you deserve that bag esp you've been dying to get yor hands on that paddy. i say you keep it and love it and don't worry too much about it being stolen or damaged oki?? just enjoy your bag

Congrats! But get the purse out and use it! The choco is appropriate no matter what time of year!

I have a beautiful pair of Michael Kors sandals, chocolate brown, that I wear my choco paddy with. USE THAT BAG!!

I left Mia home and I spent the day with Paddy !!!

Yup, I finally did it. I wore my Paddy today ALL day long! Er, only after dh left the house and up to about 14 mins. before he came home.

I really loved holding her and filling her up with my belongings and taking her for a ride in the car. I must say that this bag is kinda heavy because as it sat by itself in the passenger's seat, the seatbelt off indicator kept blinking!

I kept looking at myself in mirrors, we look pretty good together since I do have dark hair and highlights. I seem to have a wardrobe that will match the bag (not vice versa, as us bagochondriacs know).

Sooooo...I realized that after today, I simply cannot part with my paddy!!! I finally had a money discussion with dh about we should use some of our surplus funds towards "mad" money ($500 for each of us, for anything our heart desires, no questions asked) and.... HE AGREED! HOORAY!!!

Little does he know that my share is already spent!!!

All's well that ends well...
