How I Got this Mid-Luxury Bag (The Funny Story)

The Audio can be clicked below to listen. 

Hello Lovelies, 

I’m slightly embarrassed to admit how I ended up with this Rioni bag, but enough time has passed that I can finally laugh about it.

My husband and I were on vacation when it happened. We were simply walking through a shopping area when I glanced into a store window and saw several Rioni bags on display. I immediately stopped in my tracks.

My mouth literally dropped open.

I knew nothing about the brand at the time, but something about those bags caught my attention. The rich brown canvas, the leather trim, the structured silhouette—it was love at first sight.

Naturally, I wanted to go inside.

Naturally, my husband did not.

I went in anyway and called him inside so I could show him the bag I wanted—the very one you see in this photo.

Now, my husband is one of the most financially responsible people I know. Some might call that frugal. Others might use a different word. I’ll let you decide.

His response was simple:

“No TT. You don’t need another purse.”

Those words should have ended the conversation.

They did not.

Somewhere inside of me, a teenage version of myself suddenly appeared.

I stood there in the store pretending to browse around meanwhile getting angier by the second. I walked out of the store a second time to ask him again to come in to look at the bag and purchase it for me..

Again, he refused.

I walked back into the store and looked back at the selection of bags and styles. The satchel styled one just reminded me of a Louis Vuitton Speedy; to which knew that it that in that season of life I could never purchase.

This thought did not help my frustration. So, what did I do! 

I went outside of the store yet AGAIN. By this time If I was 2 shades lighter you would've been able to see a very red skin tone!

I began pouting and speaking through my teeth at him to get me what want. LOL.  If you can recall;  J.G. Wentworth commercial.  “It’s my money and I need it now!” then that would have been Scene 1 Take 1 and Action. Shaking My Head..

 In this case though it wasn't my money; it was his money but hey  ' what's his is mines' and ' what's mines is mines' right? - right'. LOL. "

Nevertheless, there was only one card to pull out 

I called my mother.

YES! Well… technically, she is my mother-in-law but she is now my mom in replacement ( if you know you know).

At one point, I had my husband the phone and watch with a childish grin on my face as she  proceeded to tell my husband to give me what I wanted.

Needless to say, I got the bag.

Stay tuned to Part II  ... 'Was it really about the purse?" with Tea with Teya

 Blessings, Teya 🤎✨

BTW. Isn't she pretty? Am I the only grown woman who have thrown a tantrum to get what she wants from her husband?  Spill the Tea... Share in the comments .
