Have you ever wanted anything so badly that you went to ridiculous extremes to obtain it? Would you ever rent something to satisify that “need it now” urge or would you be patient and save enough money until you could purchase it out right? These are questions I ask myself when I’m browsing Bag, Borrow or Steal or now Avelle!
Have I ever been desperate enough to rent a handbag? No! Have I thought of renting an expensive handbag? Yes, but I just couldn’t bring myself to enter my card number in order to complete the sale! All I could think about was what I could be doing with that money. I’d kick myself once the transaction were completed for charging $325 for a 1 month rental of a high end designer handbag. That and the fact that I’d be sporting an expensive handbag with no money in my wallet! That in itself is an oxymoron!
I have a fixation with handbags… Especially expensive handbags! I don’t know what it is! I can see a handbag for the first time; know absolutely nothing about it and fall madly in love before realizing it’s at least $600 – $1,000… NO LIE! I’m naturally attracted to expensive things, but can’t readily afford them. It’s sheer torture I tell you… TORTURE! My sister once asked my husband what to get me for my birthday and his response was, “Everything she want’s is expensive!”
My sister wasn’t so much concerned about the price (albeit within reason). She just wanted to get me something really nice for helping her out after she graduated from college. I love, love, love my sister and had no qualms about providing for her until she had enough money saved from her new job to be self sufficient. I have no problem helping someone who obviously is trying to help themselves. So I can honestly understand her desire to get me something really nice! No, seriously!
Anyhoo, she ended up getting me a really nice pair of Coach sneakers! They’re so cute that I need to buy a couple more outfits to show them any justice! Nevertheless, I like expensive things and think that I deserve a few of them every now and then! I’m not going to go in debt trying to buy something I obviously can’t afford. I did that when I was young and learned my lesson. It’s just you’d like to splurge every now and again and get something really nice for yourself. That brings me back to Bag, Borrow or Steal! I’d like to treat myself, but it isn’t really a “treat” when you have to return it after an agreed upon timeframe!
I’d be so disappointed in myself if I rented a handbag for $100 – $400 per month; when I could have just saved 2 – 3 months rental fee and bought it out right! It won’t matter if when I carry it; I only have 1/4 the amount of the bags worth in my wallet. When I get what I want it’ll be paid for in full (cash only baby!) and I will have saved my money for it! That’s the kind of treat that keeps on TREATING! I’ll soon have [some of] what I want with a clear conscious that I didn’t just spend next month’s household bills on one purchase. I’ll eventually get what I want; but I won’t sale my soul to get it. I will not Bag, Borrow or Steal my dream bag! I will own it outright and carry it proudly with my head held high, shoulders back and a walk that exudes confidence! You’ll know when you see me coming a [s]mile away from the pure glow of satisfaction! That’s something that can’t be “bagged, borrowed or stolen“… It’ll be pure, authentic and one of a kind pleasure! Ahhhhh….
