Flashy or Trashy?

I told Marisa many moons ago that I would post a picture of my purple purse that I kind of splurged on and got in a little bit of trouble for. Yes, that's correct, it's an $80 purse. (I got it for $40...ha!) And while it's not exactly runway worthy, it's a darn cute purse in my opinion. But then I found out that a couple of 60-something year old women in my office collect the same brand of purse...meaning they scout these purses out and change them up everyday to match their sweaters with the scottie dogs and apples on them. One lady is up to 27 of these purses in all shapes, colors, and sizes. What I'm trying to say is that had I not bought this purse, then they would have bought it for themselves. So now I'm wondering, am I behind in the times or are my co workers too cool for school? You be the judge.
