Life’s Lessons

Update on my Satchy? Wait, lemme check this basement dehumidifier first before I go into details about my fashion walk. This is helpful for those who have basements in their homes.

Okay. So as what I told few of my friends, I will go on “fashion walk” (our term when we go to the mall to sport something) once my bag arrives. Since it arrived on a Friday, I was too excited for Saturday to come so I could use it in going to the mall. I thought it wouldn’t make any difference wearing my Coach from my Sylvia Santos (that was given by my colleague during our meeting in Cebu) but I was totally wrong! It was my first time to be looked at from head to foot and people are taking a second look at me and my bag. Am I just paranoid? If I see people wearing nice and authentic bags, I don’t even look at them from head to foot nor will I take a second look at the bag.

I went to the mall’s comfort room and the ladies in line are staring at my bag. One lady wears a Gucci. By the looks of the material, I know it’s an imitation and she was staring at me and my bag until I went out of the comfort room. This is crazy!

Added to that, I have a husband in tow who is so OC. He kept on reminding me not to bump my bag into anything for it might be scratched. Gosh! The choleric doesn’t care about that but the melancholic does so I need to transfer my bag from the right hand to the left when needed.

When we got tired of our fashion walk, we went to Pizza Hut for our dinner. On the way, we passed by a foreigner whom Ace noticed followed us with her stare. Then there’s two ladies walking ahead us wearing an LV (my first dream bag). Judging from the materials of the bag, it might be bought from the boutiques that sells imitation bags. When they look behind, I got another stare at my bag.

I am ashamed to have my picture taken wearing my bag so Ace took a photo of me and my Satchy at Pizza Hut.

The next day we went to the mall again. We went around to look for Ace’ polo for the wedding. Then I decided to roam around the stalls that sells imported clothes from Bangkok and Ace overheard the sales ladies talking about my bag “lahi lage na design iya bag” (Tagalog: “ibang design yung bag nya”, English: “her bag has different design”) Yes, it is definitely different because you can’t see that in stores that sells imitations of signature bags. Just by looking at the material and the style, you would know that it’s authentic.

I will never forget my first fashion walk experience with my very first signature bag. The stare, the head-to-foot look is flattering (though annoying at times). But that won’t stop me from desiring for another one (next year?) because it’s all worth every penny. I just love it!
