On Boxing Day as always I headed off to the sales to see what I could pick up. First shop on my list Boots! As a self confessed make up, perfume and toilettries addict I always make sure I save up all the points on my Advantage Card so that I can spend them on the reduced items in the post Christmas Boots sale.
Another of my favourite things is getting a bargain, I mean who doesn't? Sometimes though things that seem to be bargains turn out to sit unused or unworn so this year I was determined to be a little bit more careful with what I purchased in the sales.
Whilst in Boots I spotted this bag, it was the last one and it immediately caught my eye.
Front
BackA lovely big shopper bag with a Geisha on the front and a colourful oriental pattern on the reverse, marked down to half price at £5. I picked it up, put it back and thought "I don't really need that it's pretty but I probably wouldn't use it" when my husband came along and said "thats a nice bag" just what I needed to hear! So my heart over ruled my head on this occasion and I am so glad it did as I use this bag everyday. I bring my lunch and all my bits and bobs to work in it - much more stylish than using a carrier bag which I did before hahahaha!
If ths bag taught me one thing it is that sometimes it pays to take a risk. Since I got this bag I have had so many compliments on it and it always seems to get admiring looks from people. I love my Boots bargain bag and it is the first of my favourite things.
Hope you've all had a good Wednesday :o)
Thanks for reading.

that bag is ever so lovely, no wonder it's one of your favourite things! ;)
How cute is that bag! I too love the boots sale, both the 50% and the 75%, such a boots addict but I'm trying to reform.
I love your thought that sometimes it pays to take a risk, I'll remind myself of that next time I'm umming and arring about something
I think as long as the item you are considering buying isn't too expensive then it is ok.
Had the bag have been £10 I probably wouldn't have made the same decision but when it's a good price it isn't so bad if the risk doesn't pay off really :o)
what a wonderful find, it's so happy!
