it seems lately that whenever i see someone walk by with a vera bradley on their arm, i have the urge scratch my pits. could be i need to start waxing instead of shaving. but anyway. it's like out of nowhere, vera bradley exploded like a big white chin pimple. and dude. i don't carry stock in clearasil.now let's clarify something. i don't dislike vera bradley. but i don't feel the same way about the company like i used to some odd thirteen years ago. it's probably because i'm a vera bradley purse snob.
see. i have a collection of close to one hundred purses and about double the amount in accessories. and most of these were acquired back in the day when i had to drive to some remote boutique just to see the latest pattern. that's right folks. i'm an original vb old-schooler.
it's like this. you know how dolly parton got some (ahem) work done? and she was like the chick with the huge bajumbas. and then. slowly. over the years, more and more women were starting to do the same thing? yeah. that's how i feel about vera bradley.
i started it! don't touch! yes, it's washable but i prefer to spot clean mine! (famous last words from me - on the topic of vera bradley. or from dolly - on the topic of well, you know what.) man. when ms. parton sang about workin' "9 to 5", oh boy. she meant it. also. i have no idea what that means. it just sound good and random enough for my post. word.

I grew up in Indiana with my mom LOVING Vera Bradley. When she would finally find a place that sold them it would become her favorite store. We would always stop in to see if anything came out. People would always ask where she got her purses, wallets, duffle bags, etc. Vera Bradley equals my mom!
Then, Deseret Book started carrying them....why!!!??? Why does Deseret Book have to ruin the Vera Bradley memories? My first thought when I saw them was, "OH NO! Mormon women everywhere will start carrying them." (Seems like trends spread fast in the LDS church...even the not so hot trends like the ear-warmer-headbands-with-a-big-flower-on-them-that-are-worn-all-day-indoors) Please Utah...don't ruin Vera Bradley for the real lovers and their kids.
My kids stole the pink VB wallet you sent me. Because it was pink. And aparently pink = just for my girls.
Fancy walletless.
You do have a big collection! dude! I always fancied one of her duffel/carry on type bags.
Don't hate me, but I'm glad you said they were purses because I had no idea who or what Vera Bradley was/is.
Mayern,
I hates it when people start using "tan" and "var" and "mayer" and "ed" and "cull" in their words like us.
Wait. They don't do that.
Cravarap.
hehehehehe...shockingly I know nothing of Vera, but I do know the feeling when a thing you love dearly becomes the "It" thing to have...it just isn't the same anymore.
I have A purse. It's from Walmart.
*sneaks away slowly*
The first time I ever heard/saw anything about VB was through you. When I whip out my VB wallet or makeup thing, I feel really cool. Even though it is most likely being whipped out of a bag from Walmart or Target.
My girlfriend LOVES Vera Bradley. Super cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog. You know you could do a monkey party that has a little crown on it's head. What do you think??
I can't claim to be a huge fan of Vera, but I do understand your claim to her.
And I'm pretty sure as long as you relate something back to Dolly Parton, it's totally relevant. Those are the rules, according to Abraham Lincoln.
