My Mind Keeps Telling Me No…

August 20th, 2014 by Karen 15 Comments

But the two maneki-neko cats that live on the windowsill in my office keep telling me, “Do it! You need the Kate Spade Hello Tokyo Cat Purse, Jimi Flats and Cat iPhone 5 Case.”

I’ve had my eye on these for a while…

I’m not sure how much longer I can resist that purse, man. The cuteness is clawing at my soul.

For the record, I’m going to file this under “Crazy Cat Lady Problems.”

    I saw that purse browsing Kate Spade website and I immediately thought of you.

    Oh, go for it/them!!

    It’s the frivolous thing we buy that we use the most. The dress we buy with our head hangs in the closet, lonely!

    Adorable! I always find room in my budget for things with cats on them! This week target had their Mossimo boyfriend cardigans on sale for $14, and one had a cat print! Guess what I’m wearing to the Katy Perry (Purry?!) concert this weekend!

    How long have you been resisting? You have some amazing willpower! All of those items are super cute but practical me says you’d probably get the most use out of the iphone cover. 🙂

    The purse matches my tattoo! That was my main justification for buying it but I held off because cute as it is (and it is oh so cute) it is tiny and impractical. I want it so so bad!!!

    I wish Kate Spade launched some lucky cat earrings as part of the collection. I would have been all over those!

    I live in Tokyo and I see a lot of the maneki-neko cats! This is the city of cats truly, there are so many everywhere! You can’t walk by a residential street without running into a cat or two!
