I've always been very against buying an insanely expensive "it" bag.
I never understood it. Every girl will soon have your bag or some knockoff version of it, so what kind of individuality of style is that? But then yesterday I saw one solitary 3.1 Phillip Lim bag sitting all by itself at a suburban Target on the morning of the line's debut (this past Sunday) and fell in love. In fact, I was a little angry at the people of the store that they were not fighting me for this bag! How did I get so lucky to be the one who found it?
I then realized that this bag is simply made to love, and it wasn't about having the "it" bag. I just wanted it because it was beautiful. I also understand now after carrying it for a day why all the bloggers have the real one: It holds everything including my big ol' camera, my workout clothes and wallet!
Sitting right next to the super-sparse, picked-over Philli Lim rack was this skirt as well. Only one, and in my size. I picked both up and headed directly to the register.
I couldn't wait to show everyone my finds, so here they are! Did anyone else manage to score any Phillip Lim pieces Sunday? Which ones? Do tell!
