"Why Am I Still Here?" ::Vintage Bag Edition

"Why am I still here?" That is the absolutely heart-wrenching question that this beautiful vintage bag posed to me this afternoon, as I pulled out the red marker to change the price from $54 to $40.50. "Don't be upset," I said, attempting to console it, "I am certain we will find you a lovely home. With your perfectly executed color-blocking, incredibly soft deerskin panel and superbly functional size and shape, I bet the very next woman who puts you over her shoulder will be unable to resist bringing you home."

LOOK OF THE DAY: FUR-OCIOUSLY FASHIONABLE

The longer I work in fashion, the more certain I become of the veracity behind the statement that fashion is, in fact, a competitive sport. Heck, when there's a good enough sale, it can even be a contact sport. I say this as a, now-reformed, shopper, who, for many years, elbowed their way to the front of the line on Black Friday to snag all the steals before you could get to them (tell your bank account I said "you're welcome").

Of course, there is another, far more sensible option--don't shop harder, shop smarter. Here at Redress Boston, we've got enough deals to go around EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. Snag the outfit shown below and you'll look so FUR-OCIOUSLY FASHIONABLE that all of your friends will be wondering just how many fellow shoppers you had to push and elbow to look THAT GOOD. And when they do, you can smile proudly back and share that you are, in fact, WAY too smart for THAT.
