I recently went to grab some lunch for the Husband and I from the cafeteria at work. Quesadillas looked good and came with little plastic containers of salsa and sour cream. They were basically little plastic bowls with lids.



I paid the girl at the cash register and then, faced with balancing two plates with quesadillas and four plastic containers of condiments I popped the salsa and sour cream in my bag.



Luckily at some point my brain turned on and realized I was putting fairly flimsy containers of salsa and sour cream into my rented Michael Kors Hamilton.



This is why I shouldn’t own nice things. I’m rough on my things!

My best friend and I own the same pair of Steve Madden boots. She got slightly perturbed when my dog sat on hers. I wore mine into a muddy corn maze. My sunglasses will wind up in the lake or ocean with me whether they’re designer or cost $5 at the gas station. Once I own something I tend to forget about price tag and such use it!



I’m usually hyper paranoid about my rented bag for the first 36 hours I have it. Once I’ve had it a week I treat it like it’s mine! Luckily rented things can come with insurance! Perhaps they should also come with a warning siren.



The Bling Girls can attest to the fact that I’ve always sent the rented bags back in completely respectable condition…. no salsa included.

A Note from The Bling Girls: Leigh-Ellen’s handbags always come back in PRISTINE condition! Nary a speck of dirt, salsa, or sour cream in sight :)
