Back in high school I always wanted to buy myself a Louis Vuitton bag, but obviously had no money. I was intent on that being my first big name brand purchase after college when I started my career. In 2008, I had only been in the fashion business for about 2 years I saved christmas money, birthday money, my own money and with the power of perseverance got what I wanted. I remember like yesterday when I walked into the Louis Vuitton section at Macy’s and finally picked up my bag. It was the most expensive purse I have ever purchased even 5 years later. Do I think it was worth it, yes! And would I do it again absolutely! Louis Vuitton will be a handbag I can have forever! It’s a classic like Chanel, only keeps getting better with age! It showed me at a young age that if I truly want something, work hard and keep my eyes on the prize, I could attain whatever I wanted.
