PURSE SNOB

I have had a week where I have had no restraining eating. I talked the big talk last week about drinking green smoothies and I will admit, I did feel great last week. This week...another story. It started when I went to Costco and they had M&M's on sale (Super Bowl leftovers) so I bought a bag. I thought I would be able to handle having the temptation around. Apparently not. I have gorged myself all week, and just now, I had more than a couple of handfuls! I have a raging headache, I feel like I gained 10 lbs just today and I am disgusted with myself for being so weak. No more! Smarten up Karen!
I did have some great success this week though. I am always cleaning out stuff and decided that I only want to have a few fabulous purses - not 50 so-so purses. I posted 5 bags and wallets online and I have sold all of them! I now have a couple a hundred dollars to put towards my dream purse. (never mind that I got a fraction of what I originally spent on them) I have a laundry basket full of purses that I am going to sell in the next month. I will put 4 online at a time. (I don't want to saturate the market and drive the price down) I was tempted (again!) to buy a Coach purse that I saw today. I am trying to hold out. Tell me what you think I should do. Save my $ for the Louis Vuitton I really want or satisfy my purse craving and buy the Coach? There is a HUGE difference in price. Am I being a purse snob with an insatiable need for expensive bags? I love purses!

This?
or this?
