My Addiction to Vera

For the last year or more, I will purchase a new Vera Bradley bag at least twice a year and of course, a few accessories along the way. As spring approached, I thought maybe I should buy another style of bag. I really did not like the idea, but felt it may be good for me to break away from Vera. I looked at several stores on different occasions and nothing caught my eye. I would go back to the Vera Bradley stores and wonder with amazement at all the colors and all the room in these great handbags. Again I told myself, "You really need to get another style of handbag this spring" and I sadly went out to search for a new bag. After several more weeks of searching I saw a pretty pink Liz handbag at J.C. Penny. "Well, here it is", I told myself. I love pink and it looks like spring, so I bought the handbag. As I left the store, I told myself that I love this color, but something just did not feel right. Once I got home the more I looked at the bag the smaller it looked and I just did not like it. I got everything in my new bag and put it on my shoulder. Right away it felt too heavy for my shoulder and all my stuff was crammed together. It was not roomy like my Vera and not as colorful. I decided to return the new handbag and get me a new Vera. Oh, the relief I felt. At that moment I knew I was hooked but frankly realized that I did not care. I could not fight it anymore. I even admitted my addiction to my husband and son, who both laughed and said "We already knew that". Oh well, at least my addiction is legal.........
