All this talk about putting needs before wants, is good and all. But honestly, I have a few (ridiculously lavish) things in my life that I secretly really, really want.
They are not a need. (Front tooth – need; jaguar – want.) But I still really want them. Will I ever get them? Hopefully. Soon? Nah. (Again college fund – need; Tiffany earrings – want.) But I’m going to share them anyway!!!
I want a Louis Vuitton Bucket Tote.
I want a pair of black peep toe high heels by Christian Louboutin. (You know the amazing ones with the red soles?) Love them!!!! Even though I know I’d break an ankle in them.
I want to stay in a Presidential Suite in the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World.
Will any of these things ever happen in my life? Probably not.
I will probably never have an occasion to wear 4” heels and, more than likely, no one would ever appreciation my $900 Christian Louboutins. Last time I checked, Carrie Bradshaw doesn’t attend my church.
So, I’ll stick with my $40 Mary Jane Clarks.
Some of the women in my circle of friends would know if I got a “Louis.” They’d probably even be savvy enough to tell the difference between an $80 knock off and the $500 real thing. But they’re more impressed with a new $40 Vera Bradley.
Paying $1950/night for a room seems ridiculous when you can splurge on Savannah
Do I actually need any of these things? Nah…
But one day, you’ll see me…at the Grand Floridian in my Christian Louboutins with my Louis over my shoulder…probably riding a motorized scooter and wearing a LifeAlert necklace being thankful that I lived like no one else now, so that I could live like no one else later!
