Every so often while window shopping you find the item. You know, the one you imagine yourself wearing everywhere (because of couse you’re going to use it ALL the time!) The one you go back to the store or website to
look at 100 times….I’ve had that happen to me on a few occassions. Most recently it was a handbag..but not just any handbag. It was the Marc by Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Pouchette in electric magenta to be exact.
I drooled over it endlessly, logging online every day to look at it. With an upcoming wedding and honeymoon, apartment repairs and ridiculous grad school loans I begrudgingly didn’t purchase it. Then my wonderful husband-to-be said he’d buy it as a birthday/Valentine’s Day present. I was beyond thrilled that he was willing to splurge the $198 I’d felt too guilty to spend. BUT…….it was too late. Much to my horror it was sold out. EVERYWHERE. It’s been over a month since I discovered my little pouchette and I would never be. I still longingly picture us together…Out and about at the mall…brunch…movies.
Darn you Mr. Jacobs for once again crafting something so cute, so unattainable. Clearly, this is not the first time you’ve broken my heart, nor will it be the last….The question remains, will I ever learn my lesson?
Ever had the one get away from you? Share your story!
IF you are currently in possession of my beloved little pouchette please take care of it, and please share your comments and pictures!
The same thing happened to me with a gorgeous tank top several years ago. Sigh …
Ya, I was pretty bummed for a while. Luckily, every season brings at least a couple of items that get me excited again
