Vera Bradley has come out with the new spring colors/prints. Guess who loves those prints. Guess who thinks they are the best prints she's ever seen VB run. Guess who emailed Dorian 3 times along with a couple texts and a note on the marker board at home…and the new print being left up on the computer screen, just for good measure. Let me give you a hint. It's totally me.
And do you want to know how conniving I can be? The proceeds to my favorite print, "Hope Garden"… support Breast Cancer Awareness. And who doesn't want to support Breast Cancer Awareness? I mean, I certainly want to do my part to support the cause. "It would be irresponsible not to get it…" may or may not have been one of the texts Dorian received yesterday. Maybe.
And can I just tell you how selfish I KNOW I am being? I mean, holy cow. A little background here? I just got a brand new, beautiful Vera Bradley tote bag with a matching zippy wallet for Christmas. I squeeled with sheer glee when I ripped the wrapping paper off that box and saw the Vera Bradley logo staring up at me. It is literally the best purse and wallet combo I have ever had. This purse is made up of a fantastic blend of blues, greens and shades of white and grey. It is striking! But the only thing that has more of a vice grip on my censory preceptors than such an amazing purse…is a PINK purse. And this Hope Garden print has such an appealing blend of springy colors with pink harmonizing them all into a symphony of "Kristen Must Have This Purse" that apparently all my current purse can do is puff on a harmonica.
This is such a blatant case of Never Being Satisfied With What You Have that I'm pretty much nauseating MYSELF. I'm being oh so shallow. And I really do hate that. My brand new tote bag is sitting right next to me, just as pretty as ever…and all I can think about is HopeGardenHopeGardenHopeGarden
Moral of the story here: Be ye satisfied with what you have. Lesson learned? Let me think about that while I drool over the Vera Bradley website.
