I hate your fake designer bag

If you're blowing a paycheck on any type of luxury item you're not too smart actually.

I'm big on buying what you can afford (no fakes though). There are people who think you're nuts to spend over $20 on any handbag so it's all subjective imo.

I was in Atlanta for the Thanksgiving holiday. My mother, who has developed a love for Goachs, wanted to go to a warehouse/flea market place to find some Goachs and other fake bags. This is one of the places her secretary (the one who hooked her up with the Goach in the first place) goes and gets her bags.

We went down to Metropolitan Avenue to the first place. They had a lot of people selling Goachs and other fake bags. Some of they were trying to sell them for $25-$35. I did have a eye on a fake LV, but it was the wrong color and decided against buying it. Most of the bags I saw were obviously fake. We left empty handed.

Then we went to another store near Greenbriar Mall, but they didn't have that many bags. They did have some Goach boots. My mother tried them on (and they were in her size) and they did not fit. I tried not to laugh.

I can kind of understand if someone has a fake LV, Chanel, etc. BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR A FAKE COACH OR DOONEY. You can always find them a a decent price, if you look hard enough. My mother kept saying she wanted to go to see the Goachs, but I told her we can go to Lenox Square and get the real ones.

/\/\ Mama NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note...

I have one more bag to purchase and then ...(holds back tears) I am putting myself on a handbag ban. I have bought wayyyy to many bags this year and I need to rethink my collection and get rid of some. So until I get down to the essentials, its no more bags for me.
