"I have an addiction, sir!"

Quick pic of my new-to-me vintage Chanel backpack... I know I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help myself. Shopping is a legitimate addiction! I've also recently acquired the vintage necklace and bracelet shown above, as well as these *amazing* sunglasses from Seventh Door. What are some of your recent buys? Help me feel like less of an addict!

What a cool find!

Shopping really is addictive... and sometimes I feel like my blogging only gives me further reason to justify purchases for the sake of "content." haha!

@Elena S. & Lynzy - I got it off of ebay! There are some great finds there if you dig!

And thanks everybody for helping me feel better about spending wayyyyyy too much money on my addiction, lol! :)

Earlier today I bought 3 dresses, a sweater, a shirt, a pair of shoes and perfume, so no worries about your recent purchases. And if I had found a backpack like that, I definitely would have snatched it up!

Amazing vintage score- Chanel to boot!

I just bid on some yellow Tory Burch flats on Ebay AND emailed the seller to see if she'd consider doing a Buy It Now because I really really want them lol. So yes, Hi my name is Jaime, and I'm a shopping addict. :)
