Road Works


 Blouse: GAP USA/ Pants: Zara/ Blazer: Vtg Lord & Taylor/ Shoes: Zara/ Scarf: Primani/ Bag: Vtg Gucci

 The story of this bag is in retrospect funny. I bought it online for my younger sister, as she had done a marvelous performance in high school, graduated with Honors, had a great SAT score and got multiple full rides to univerisites! I was the proud big sister! So I decided to buy her a vtg Gucci bag as a surprise graduation gift.

But when I received it I thought it was Fake, because it wasn't like any of my other Gucci bags, current and vintage. I requested a refund and bought my sister another bag. At the end of the day, the lady said no because it was real. I was fuming and said I will get it authenticated. So I mosey on down to Old Bond Street in London to get it authenticated, and they tell me it's real! I looked at the man like it is what? He said yup I am 90% sure it's real only the zipper has been replaced as with vintage Gucci bags, that was usually the first thing to go....I left heart broken, because I really didn't want the bag...I just wanted a refund! lol

Nonetheless, I am forcing myself to wear it more, but deep down inside I still swear it's fake. Yes I got issues sometimes. Hopefully I'll fall in love with it. Do you have any crazy purchase stories? If so what was it, and did you keep it?

Thanks everyone! I never knew this scarf would be such a hit! I just bought it because it's my favorite color. @fashion pad- I am trying to stop with the 'bargain' shopping syndrome and only buy things that I really want and will wear, but its oh so hard...
