One Per Year - 2016

I did a post last year about my ‘One Per Year’ Coach bags.  There is a Coach outlet in Santa Fe and I get one new bag per year.  But, there MUST be a sale and I MUST have a coupon.  They usually always have some kind of sale going on and I get the coupons sent to me.  So I get at least 50% off of the already marked down outlet price.



This time though, the entire store was 50% off because of Mothers Day, and I had a 20% off coupon to use on top of that.



I had thought a lot about the kind of bag I wanted and I decided I wanted a black or brown bag that was larger than the kind I usually get.

Oh, how things change.

I’ve loved bags for so long that I know within about 5 seconds whether or not I love one or not.

And when I walked into the store the first bag I saw was this pink tote.  I am not a ‘pink’ person….I don’t wear pink usually, I’m not a girly girl, I don’t have pink things.

But I LOVED LOVED LOVED this color.  But I wasn’t crazy about the tote style bag.  So I kept looking and then my husband pointed out another style of bag that was the exact same color as the tote.

It was love at first sight.  It was a larger bag than I usually get, but smaller than the first tote, and it was the same pink color I loved.




I also got a wallet.  I actually gasped when I first spotted it and it’s bright green color.  As one of the girls in our hall said ‘It’s like a watermelon!’ when she saw my wallet with my pink bag.  :)

It is my favorite for sure.  I love it and don’t regret the pink choice at all.  And so far, it is has been my most complimented Coach bag ever!  I think it’s just so noticeable because of the color ha ha.
