fashion fairytale

once upon a time, (or, well, about a year ago!) a girl fell in love with a round bag ever since she laid eyes on it at mango. it cost a lot more than she could afford back then and so she went back to the store 3 times, wondering if she should shell out her hard earned internship money on it. she managed to tear herself away but dreamt about it for months after!
 .
she spent many a sleepless night picturing herself wearing it with the prettiest things she owned, walking down the street with it hand-in-strap. 
.
two days ago, she was walking on colaba with a girlfriend and bam! staring at her straight in the face - the love of her life! a bag so similar to the one she'd coveted a year ago, at a fraction of the price!
.
maybe it was magic, maybe it was a fairy bagmother, the girl bought the bag and never looked back. they lived happily ever after! 
 .
the end!

sorry for the lame-ass attempt at story-telling but i was always very into fairytales and happy endings and i believe they apply to fashion, too! :) what's your fashion fairytale? share it with me in the comments section!

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
