Coach

So a couple of weeks ago Ashley and I went to St. Louis to see Legally Blonde the Musical for my b-day. OMG, super good! We heard about a fleamarket that sold Coach and other designer handbags for cheap. We decided to go to the flea market and get some purses. We were warned that this place was intimidating but we were determined to get our cheap Coach bags. So Ashley mapquested this place and we set off. We got off the interstate and started making our way to the middle of the slums. We were freaked out to say the least. I was sure we were the only living white girls within a 20 mile radius. Ashley was trying to make the best of it and said "Look, that guy is carrying a book. That means he's ok, right?" Then we get on MLK blvd. and Ashley asks for a paper bag because she's gonna hyperventilate. (I love you Bubbie.) We were wrestling with the idea of just turning around but we had come too far to just back out. Finally, we get to the flea market and drive around in the packed parking lot. We see a police officer and a couple other white people. I don't know why but this gave us the courage to get out of the car and go inside. We made our way inside and WOW, purse heaven. We ran around checking out all the different booths. We finally decided on the Coach bags that we wanted and got the heck out of there. We only paid $30 - $35 per bag. That's an awesome deal. We may have lost a couple hours off our lives because of the stress level we were in during this excursion, but it was worth it! By the way, I am in no way shape or form a racist. We were just a couple of girls out of our element. You would have been scared too. But hey, check out my Coach bag.
