Manic Monday? Talk about a manic week! On Tuesday I decided to declare it "Dress Week" (to myself and maybe one other person), seeing as I had no time to put together any outfits since I wasn't home all weekend and, really, I'm just lazy/tired during the week. I did have time though to grab this Juicy Couture necklace on my way out the door because I'm also trying to wear all the jewellery I own. I hardly ever wear accessories, except for sunglasses. Then why do I bother buying them? Again, the whole reason for this challenge.

Last week I said I needed to wear my Dior bag more often, along with my other neglected bags since Louis came into my life, but when I looked back at pictures I realized I don't neglect it as much as I thought, so I feel much better. Usually when I dress up, it's my go-to bag because it pretty much goes with everything. Here's my Dior at BED in Miami in '07. Great, now I want to go back to Miami.
Buying the Dior bag almost never happened. I was shopping on Rodeo Drive for the first time, searching for the Louis Vuitton denim monogram bag. It was my honeymoon so I thought it was a great excuse to spoil myself with my first designer bag. I had just recently started to fall in love with Marc Jacobs and I had to have it. I just thought it was fun and would go with everything. Of course, I couldn't get my hands on it. So I walked into Dior and saw my bag. But I hesitated because I did really want to try to get the LV bag. (Of course, I had no idea I'd be buying the green version less than a year later.) But I loved how you could dress the Dior up because of the silver metal detail. I tried on the matching shoes and I fell in love, so I went for it. But just the bag. I mean, it was our first day of shopping and I realized I wasn't Julia Roberts shopping with Richard Gere's credit card. I wonder if everyone thinks of that scene in Pretty Woman when they're shopping on Rodeo? Anyway, this trip changed me forever. I don't think I had ever heard of $300 jeans before this trip and now when I come across a pair, I don't even bat my Dior-covered eyelashes.
Just as I don't with the price of the bottom two bags. But the Christian Louboutin one is on sale!
