I have been using the Franklin planner system for years (since my BYU days) and when my oldest was a baby, (remember he is almost 11), I found this purse on sale. I love this purse. I have taken it with me everywhere and used my planner/purse combo constantly. It has held up amazingly for over 10 years.
Again, my new iphone doesn't fit into this purse anymore and I am probably the only female I know who has used the same purse for over 10 years.
Have I mentioned how much I HATE to shop? So because Franklin Covey did me no wrong with my previous purse, I went back there. I met a nice salesman who informed me all of their purse/bags were on sale and I knew I would not leave the store with out a new one. (Again, I hate to shop, I find stores I like and go back there time and time again. There is a reason why the ladies in the Denver, CO Talbots knew me by name even though I lived in Boulder, CO and passed many female clothing stores to get there.)
Back to the purse . . . I ended up getting this. Remember, I got it on-sale and I hope to use it for the next 10 plus years. And, the one problem with my last purse was that I often was throwing it in a bag so I could take more things with me. With this new "tote" as it is called, I have it all in one and there is pocket that fits my iphone perfectly. I still miss my old purse/planner but I am loving this new one. There is room for many books, various toys, a notepad (for my kids to write on when we are some place and they are bored,) etc. Change is good.
Love the new tote. I love purses/totes where the inside is NOT black. It becomes an abyss.
ReplyDeleteI need a new "smartphone" (I am using a cell phone and a palm pilot - love both but want it all in one.) I am hesitant to switch to AT&T for some reason. Not sure why. Hubby has the iPhone and loves it. I keep thinking Verizon is going to get the iPhone and then I'll wish I waited.
Too much info? Probably... :)
Such a cute bag!
ReplyDeleteYou hate to shop? Sheesh. I wish I hated to shop. I shopped just today, I practically have a Phd in shopping. In fact I still say it like Sister Petersen used to "s-h-o-pp-i-n-g like it's a bad word! Cute tote!
ReplyDeleteI really like it. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE my iPhone. Are you having fun with it?
Ok, I can't believe you kept the same purse for 10 years! I change purses whenever the mood strikes me .
ReplyDeleteI must say that you were way over due for a new purse! Yes, that is an exclamation point because 10 years and one purse is an affront to womanhood. I love your new purse; very fancy. You'll have to let me know how you like your iPhone because I'm angling for one right now.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you had one purse for 10 YEARS. You're awesome. I've lost mine, had them stolen, run over them with my car and had a child throw up in one.
ReplyDeleteThe new one is super cute.
Love, love, love your new tote! I'm jealous. I tend to use the same purse for years and years too, although not quite 10 years :-)
