Back in 1999 or 2000, I took my last “big” paycheck from when I worked for Toysrus.com and spent it on a brown Coach purse. Gene encouraged me to also buy a simple brown Coach key fob to go with it. The purse has been replaced, the key fob remains…until recently when I realized it was about to tear.<\/p>\n
No biggie, I think, we have a monthly clothing budget and I will use it this month to replace the key fob… I went to Coach’s website to see what the current stock of key fobs looks like. And! They look like crap! They look like Claire’s boutique, Dollar Store clearance rack, CRAP. And they have the balls to charge upwards of $50 for it.<\/p>\n
(BTW, if you’re thinking, “Gee, Elaine is not exactly rational today, is she?” the answer is “NO!”…these are the problems of a very fortunate person, and I’m glad to have this problem instead of a real problem).<\/p>\n
All! I want! is something simple! and classy! Not something that cost as much as 3+ hours of overtime and<\/em> looks like it came from the ::shakes fist:: Hello Kitty store.<\/p>\n (PS: in the time it has taken me to write this post, I have also tried Dooney.com, Nordstorm.com, Overstock.com and Macys.com)<\/p>\n (Okay, I also checked out Louisvuitton.com and Barneys.com and now I feel like a hobo)<\/p>\n (ETA: Okay, I went to the mall and bought the simplest key chain from Coach. It’s 100% bling free and actually more functional than the old one).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in 1999 or 2000, I took my last “big” paycheck from when I worked for Toysrus.com and spent it on a brown Coach purse.
