Be a Fashionista, not a Matchinista

I. Love. Fashion.  I don't necessarily have the money to spend on the fashion I love, but I love it nonetheless.  I have in my posession an Express credit card, and that little bastard gets me in so much trouble.  I only buy designer purses, and I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for."

Recently, I discovered that I have an obsession with Michael Kors bags.  Can you guess my first purchase with my student refund money?

Beautiful.

Naturally, once I selected this fine specimen, I needed to find a matching wallet.  Unfortunately for me, Nordstrom only had the small wallet, and I wanted the large one.  They offered to order one for me and ship it to my house, but I declined.  I am in the process of closing on a house, and I did not know if it would arrive before our moving date.

I was stuck with an old wallet in my new-car-smell purse.  I immediately got online to see if I could find a matching wallet (hopefully on sale).  I found one on eBay, but I was outbid.  Fine.  Whatever.  I didn't need that wallet.  And for some reason, I could not bring myself to pay full price for the wallet, especially after what I spent on the purse.

And then I came across this beautiful thing:

Pink. Ostrich. Omg.

It was priced below retail.  It was probably in one of those outlet stores because of some cosmetic defect or something, because it was brand new, with tags.

My first thought:  It doesn't match.  And then:  So what?

When it came in, I inspected it thoroughly.  It is authentic MK, and is in perfect condition.  I couldn't find anything wrong with it.  Maybe it's not in season anymore.  Oh, well.

My new ensemble.

Who says it has to match?  I have a purse I love, complimented nicely with a wallet that I also love.  Pink is my favorite color, by the way, and I love Michael Kors for making this stunning wallet.  And I love eBay.
